That Twosome, yroneand Exakta Ruth Tildesley WOULDN'T go anywhere without my Exakta!" declared Tyrone Power, dark eyes glowing. (Never mind, Exakta isn't a girl, she's a camera. She has a 2.8 Tessar lens and he feeds her with 35 m.m. Super X Eastman film with an average of 32 exposures to a roll.) "I'm flying to South America for six weeks, the minute we get through making 'Jesse James,' and I expect to come home with some real pictures," Tyrone went on. "I'm taking color film for my home movie camera and black-and-white for Exakta, and if I have the luck I had in Mexico, I'll be satisfied. "I don't know how I got interested in cameras. When I was about seventeen I had a home movie outfit. I hadn't done much with it, when I went to Canada. I took the camera but I forgot to declare it. I declared the projector, the film, the little screen, the tripod, everything but the camera — it was slung about my neck at the time, and I suppose I thought they'd see that, anyway, and list it. Six months later, they came to me and said : 'Remember that home movie camera you had when you came in?' I said: 'Yes, I remember.' 'Well,' they retorted, 'you haven't got it any more. You didn't declare it.' "So until just now I was minus a home movie outfit. Suddenly I'm so thrilled with making pictures that I want to try the movie stuff again and see what I can do with it. But I like to take still pictures best. Even when he was playing a bandit, Jesse James, Tyrone was busy between scenes taking shots with Exakta.
