The
First
Camera'
Maid
She s been all over to go over it again
LOUISE LOWELL doesn L think much of the fact that she is the first and only camera-maid in the world. The unusual has no fascination for her, perhaps because all of her twenty years of life she has been occupied with the unusual.
To begin with, she was bom. in Samoa; and then to follow that up — how many girls are there who have been educated in India and China and who know almost every square mile of either country?
Her life, too, has been principally concerned with being her father's only son. He believed in training her right from the start. When she was only three, her bump of fearlessness had not been developed to its present day growth, and she absolutely refused to go in swimming with her father and mother. Then father, who was every bit as determined as his daughter, hit
upon a drastic measure. He threw her beloved rag doll far out into the water. With a cry of outraged mother-love Louise started after it and kept going — until the water had covered her head.
She was rescued, of course— so was the doll, and as her father swam back with it, Louise swooped down upon it and carried it off. That was the beginning; she has never been afraid of anything since.
Since she was old enough to use a camera she had carried one. It had been with her in the Far East, in the new world and in the old world. When she made a trip hundreds of miles into the jungles of South America, she secured photographs that were almost as sensational as the trip itself and which illustrated the articles her father wrote for newspapers and magazines.
It was no wonder that motion pictures appealed to her. She has always gone in for everything that interested her. While she was studying aviation in England she first came into actual contact with one. Before long she had mastered its technique and a moving picture camera replaced the "still" camera that had formerly satisfied her.
When the Prince of Wales arrived in Canada, Louise Lowell was a passenger in Colonel Barker's plane as it swept a cordial welcome to the distinguished guest. With her was her motion picture camera, and she photographed the Prince and his party from the 'plane. The pictures were so good that she decided it was up to her to do something with them. She consulted the editor of the Fox news weekly and he used them in his review of important events. A short while later the same company signed her as the first woman news-reporter in the world — and the first aerial one.
Despite her adventures Miss Lowell remains essentially feminine. The thing she wants more than anything else in the world is — curly hair.

THE American public has a long purse and' a short memory; that is the reason so many screen stars are playing truant from the kitchen.
THE government is going after the butchers. We wish they wouldn't forget the censors.
