International photographer (Feb-Dec 1929)

Twenty-two The INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER May, 1929 Out of Focus By Charles W. Boyle (Thoughts while passing from left to right in Hollywood. With apologies to nobody.) Some days you just can't save a dime. * * Why not use a K 9 filter on dog pictures ? * * Pete "Mole" insists on light and he gets it. * * A pair of tights — Jack MacKenzie and Faxon Dean. * * I wonder what that "Repertoire" film is like that Eastman has. Johnnie Mescal goes by in Packard roadster and no golf clubs in sight. Just saw Abe Scholtz on his way to the Lab. Smiling as usual. It's a gift. Sign in restaurant, "Fish to take home." Should have more play from the girls. * * Things must be good today. There is not a quorum at Holly and Cahuenga. * * Passed the one arm lunch room, the one and only on the Bullyvard, and no cameramen in sight. * * I wish Glenn Kershner would wear a bow tie to help me prove to my friends that he is an artist. * * Ralph Fear should install one of his radios with the new Fearless Movement as they were sure the berries. * * Stern Brothers are still waiting for Warner's to get all the big studios lined up so they can buy them out. * * Western Union Office. Messenger comes out in uniform and puttees and gets into Nash sedan to deliver messages. * # Chances of a lifetime. Dr. G. Floyd Jackman, dentist, ex-cameraman, having his pet hate coming in for an extraction. * * Why doesn't Max Factor use this: "Let's Kiss and Make Up" with Max Factor's Panchromatic Make-Up. Not an ad. * * Uncle Carl's new signs at Vine street — "Show Boat," "Broadway," etc. Wish the cameramen's name was on them. Fox does it! * * Don't you like to hear Max Dupont talk. His color process is knocking them for row of brick smoke houses and that's what helps. I hope to meet "King" Charney some day. The rest of the gang say he is "jess fine" and I have seen some nice results with Agfa. * * Smith and Aller report good results with the V. D. stock. Why did they leave out the "B"? Sounds like a name for short ends. B.V.D. * * Andre Barlatier has made remarkable progress with the Filmascope. How about putting the International Photographer label on the film Andre. * # Max Ascher's trick store. Six people waiting for service while Max explains how he played Admiral Puckerlip in "We're in the Navy Now." * * Sam Landers — the little fellow with the big camera — can take Normal, Sound and High Speed shots upside down and backwards. Give the little fellow a big magazine. * * Eddie Ullman selling insurance and doing well. I guess I am about ready to see him as I had a couple of day's work. He has the best and I guess that's good enough. * * Zero in bad luck. Three Akeley cameramen on the job. Extra pay for flights. Two crates take off. Third crate won't start. No extra pay for third cameraman. Why don't you sue him Elmer. * * Balzer's show a display of canisters, cork screws, whiskey glasses in all colors, cocktail shakers of silver, highball glasses with trick straws, and ice buckets. They will sure be S. O. L. if prohibition goes into effect. Garman for School Board At the solicitation of members of Organized Labor, who believed that one of their number should have a place on the board of education of this city so as to give representation to the large class of citizens who pay taxes and have children in our public schools, Harvey E. Garman, member of Typographical Union No. 174,' editor of The Citizen and secretary-treasurer of the Allied Printing Trades Council, gave his consent to have petitions circulated placing him in the field of candidates. It was decided to make the move on Tuesday of last week, and by Thursday afternoon petitions containing more than 1000 names of members of the crafts and many outside were filed with the city clerk. Many proffers of support have come to the candidate from outside sources, as he has given assurance that he is strong for the public schools, believes in the open transaction of all school business, is against corporal punishment, and is opposed to all star-chamber methods. Garman is a taxpayer, has had considerable legislative experience and an active campaign is to be conducted in his behalf. Members of Local No. 659 please take notice. Bob de Grasse is recovering from a damaged leg sustained by falling off a parallel. He was really hurt playing basketball with the Tahiti University team, but the other reason makes the better story. ". . . a color so pure and so beautifully blended that every sensation of life comes as if by magic to the screen . . ." — From International Photographer for February. Vitacolor *« Max B.
