Movie Makers (Jan-Dec 1939)

MOVIE MAKERS 389 fish, the name of which I've forgotten. The ever witty Robinson said she supposed he caught it himself. "No," he replied, "I didn't. My brother did. You know the dock down at the end of Front Street where you get the boats — Kenyon's Boat Livery. That's the one." "Come now." I interjected. "I was only fooling. I've seen young boys and old men fishing off that dock, and the size fish they catch should be left on for bait. That fish," I declared, pointing at our Friday's dinner, "was never caught within fifty miles of Kenyon's Boat Livery." "Yes Ma'am, it was," said our star backstop. "It was caught about forty miles away. You see, my brother has a couple of real fishing boats and a string of nets down south on Potter's Banks. That's where this one came from, and he gets 'em a lot bigger. You ought to go along sometime with your camera and get some real pictures." "Swell," stated my ubiquitous eldest, who had just parked his bicycle against the back steps and wandered in. "We'll be glad to." And we did. We had to get up at some ungodly hour because of the tide, and we were back before eleven. I never saw — or smelled, for that matter — so many fish in all my life. Brother Kenyon let me steer the boat, of which he was very proud, for a while, and it was more fun than piloting the family's first Winton up the Boston Post Road. And what I didn't learn about fish the National Geographic will never publish. Then came the Firemen's Carnival. That was a shindig! The engines, shined up within an inch of their lives, came from all the nearby towns, together with their departments, who also had quite a glow on.The parade was a feast for Kodachrome, and so was the Carnival. I not only reaped a harvest of grand human interest shots, but took home quite a bit of loot from the concessions. Far be it from me even to hint that those honest firemen could fix the wheels and Bingo games, but them as has movies gits prizes in our neck of the woods. But perhaps the most surprising of the unsuspected local doings was the coon chase to which I was introduced last fall. A coon is a raccoon. The chasing is done by dogs of all sizes and colors — hounds, they call them. The coon is never even in danger. In the chase I saw, Mr. Coon was driven to the event in a "flivver" convertible and a swanky little box. Coaxed from the box by a young man, who stated that his charge was a family pet, he was put on a leash, whereupon the two ambled out of sight over a hill. In the meanwhile, the dogs were plunked on top of a table, one at a time, and daubed with crude numbers. Having filmed this. I went to the top of the hill to look for the amiable coon and his keeper. They were just coming into view ALBERT GREENFIELD For Better Black and White Movies Try a roil of DU PONT REGULAR PAN Here is a 16 mm film the quality of which will delight you.
