Continued on Page 22 Palmborg's Paragraphs (Being one of a series of impressions of film folk and cinemaland anecdotes as written by a motion picture insurance man. By C. F. Palmborg, special analyst and Hollyuood representative of the New York Life Insurance Company). By handing in this article the last minute before publication the editor will not have time to read it over— and that is just what I want to happen, for I do not want to run the risk of having blue pencil marks run through my statements or having another article substituted. As I am taking the members of the Camera! staff for my topic, and as the editor is an exceedingly modest man, no telling what he would do to it, if he got hold of it. The past few months I have had numerous business dealings with the Camera ! force and as I have my office next door to theirs I see a great deal of them. I have yet to meet a finer group of workers. In the first place they all work together with a harmony and perfect understanding that is inspiring. All have the interest of Camera! first and foremost in their hearts and each day they work and plan to make the next issue the best. Mr. Lawson, the publisher, is a sincere, capable man, who gives his best to the development of his paper. He has been both director and actor, so knows the needs of the industry. His ambition is to give the picture people information that will help them in their work, as well as interesting, up-to-the-minute news on all phases of the industry. He also aims to have a magazine that will appeal to the general public and give them real facts of the picture world. He has big plans for the development of Camera ! and has the intelligence and force to carry these plans out. Mr. Fox, the editor, is one of the most conscientious, likeable young chaps I have ever met. His heart is in Camera! and he gives all of his time to it, working long days and way into the night. He is one who never watches the hands of the clock, but stays on the job until his work is finished, no matter what the time. His editorials are always inspiring, based on topics of the day and carrying messages that are worth while. Like most newspaper men, he has served time as a reporter on big daily papers so knows all the ins and outs of newspaper writing. Miss Thompson, the pulse editor, has work that calls for much time and painstaking care for it is she who consults each studio and producing company, so as to give Camera ! readers last minute news of the work that is going on in the studios; just what pictures are in progress and the names of the directors and those in the cast. In doing this she covers a big field and has many people to deal with. She is an enthusiastic, diligent worker. Mr. Woolway, the studio representative is always on the job — I have decided that that man never sleeps. I find him at the office any time of day or night, industriously at work. He has had many years of experience along publicity lines both in the United States and abroad and is a very capable man. Many an actor can trace his success to the co-operation of Mr. Woolway. He is particularly good in establishing the new actor or actress. Mr. Cornyn, the advertising man, is a live wire. Placing advertisements and then writing them is not a simple task by any means. He likes his work and as a result is successful in it. He has clever, original ideas that bring results, so naturally has a large following. This coming New Year will see big development for Camera!. This intelligent, capable, conscientious group are putting their best efforts into it and such a combination is bound to bring big results. Philosophy THE NEW YEAR. By Eric Mayne A PRAYER That the Supreme Power, which directs the destinies of man, may guide us to those things which will be for our present and eternal welfare. A RESOLVE To do our best to make the world better and brighter. A WISH A Happy New Year to us all. On the Birthday of a New Year we have it in our power to begin our life over again. Our success in the New Year will depend very much on what we have learnt in the Old Year. There is much Happiness in the world, there is also much — very much — misery. However little we can do to alleviate the misery, and however little we can do to increase the happiness of the world, will help to increase our own happiness. We shall find our greatest happiness in trying to educate and develop that which is best in us. The man who sits at home and wonders why he is unhappy has the reason there with him. There is the duty of happiness, as well as the happiness of duty. Sometimes we have to sacrifice happiness for duty, it may be the way to the greater happiness. We often mar our own happiness, and the happiness of those around us, by our discontent with what we have and our desire for what we have not. We shall be happy if we attain our desires, if we have the right desires. "King out the old, ring in the new. King out old shapes of foul disease, King nut the narrowing lust of gold ; Ring out the thousand wars of old, King in the thousand years of peace! King in the valiant man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier hand! King out the darkness of the land, King in the Christ that is to be!
