Telephone 439-774 Raymond McKee is one of "Camera's most enthusiastic boosters. While in New York, jfl ing the lead in "Down to the Sea in Ships" and making comedies for C. C. Burr he contriM a weekly digest of New York film news entitled '.Hong the Rialto." Since returning to 1 itwood he's been a very busy man, filling numerous engagements with some of the foremost m ducers, but he has still found time to come into our office and lend a hand. Furthermore h.m done much to increase "Camera's" popularity among his friends and the business men ojlm section. 1 With this issue his wife, Marguerite Courtot McKee, who played opposite him in "£>oi the Sea in Ships" and who is famous in her own right as star of many Seitz serials, begin m first of a series of intensely interesting columns for the ladies. Ray will follow with a cunt of his own, the style of which is yet to be decided. II // it this co-operation upon the part of Mr. and Mrs. McKee and other professional /M| that distinguishes "Camera" from all other film papers. It is "of, by, and for the people M make pictures"; The Digest of the Motion Picture Industry. It is only comparatively recently that we have taken to analyzing the causes of success of certain pictures, or of certain actors, or of certain producers; and sex appeal seems to be the favorite explanation. Does this also apply to the successful writer in fit mcircles? Sada Cowan and Howard Higgin, one of the busiest literary teams in filmland, answer an emphatic affirmative. "Sex conflict is ,after all, the underlying basis of all drama; and we feel that we have this fundamental factor in our collaboration. We argue about a certain character development, come to an apparent impasse, and then n'M that one of us is naturally upholding the ' 4 man's end, and the other is just as staunH upholding the man's angle. From the nU ant discussion we evolve the particular del opment as we believe the sex conflict vMl work it out.-' Herein lies undoubtedly much of the su^J that Cowan-Higgin have attained. The tude of both sexes is naturally contained ill their writings, and just ae naturally it givjll their picture work a universal appeal whicl »» made them sought after by motion picture -«i ducers.
