The international photographer (Feb-Dec 1929)

Thirty-two The INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER November, 1929 The Daily Qrind By RALPH B. STAUB JOE AUGUST bought a new car that he calls the LUKE. Joe says it never gets warm. * # RAY BINGER tells me he writes home every day. Ray, I didn't know you needed money that often. * * A producer heard ED DUPAR swearing at his assistant and now wants to sign him up to write a play. * * JOE LaSHELLE says that his next ambition is to become an acrobat, on account of the quick turnover. MACK STENGLER says its cruel to show travel motion pictures in prisons. * * FRED WESTERBERG tells of the Jewish father who wanted to know why his son at college had to bring home the bacon. * *• DEWEY WRIGLEY, on a Navy man, says that if they ever have another war he hopes they'll build bigger ships and more ports. * * ALVIN WYCKOFF wants to know why a train that is FULL can go straight. * * WATER VAN ROSSEM says he can play in any orchestra an dalways be in the right key. I guess Walter uses the old skeleton system — fits anything. * # HENRY SHARP said that a Hollywood theatre had a panic the other night. They turned the lights on all of a sudden. * * EDDIE SNYDER knows a Scotchman who always kisses his neighbors' kid after the kid has eaten some candy. * * FRAN KCOTNER quotes a Chicago mother: "NOW GO INSIDE AND SHOOT YOUR BROTHER GOOD NIGHT." Frank says this is the 1930 edition of the baby's prayer. * * WM. HYER knows a girl who went to college for years and never was kissed; you mean a convent, Bill. AL GILKS acted in the talkies the other day. He played the footsteps in a sound picture. ELMER DYER says his assistant is a man about town and a fool about women. GEORGE MEEHAN: "Do you like bathings girls?" LEN POWERS: "Don't know, I never bathed any." *• * Famous Last Words: HOW ABOUT OUR I. A. T. S. E. BALL? MAPPING ALASKA FROM AIR (Continued from Page 8) show. Up and down, over some of the ruggedest country I ever hope to see and hoping that Old John Motor won't conk. It's not the fact that we can't get down safely if they do conk, it's the long wait between meals. We carry, as a safeguard an emergency outfit that will keep us in food at least five days. After the obliques are made then the work starts, and if any of the still men holler about how many prints they have to turn out let them tackle a job where some two or three hundred are made in a single flight and then have an average of twenty-five prints from each negative to get out for a starter. This last mapping stretch has put us some six rolls behind so we won't have a chance to get "grouchy" by having time hang heavy on our hands. The movies come in for their share as I am making a complete record of the Expedition's activities up here. So far I have run three thousand feet at a preview. Wish I had a few lights to work the laboratory stuff up, but so far am getting by without too much criticism. I get a kick out of making the air stuff and that's where I belong.
