HUGHES "STLENT"
EVEN IN MOVIES
Moving Picture Photographers
Have as Hard Time as News
paper Men With Justice
BY the Photoplay Editor

Not only the newspapers but the movie
news weeklies were up against it in the
! picture line so far as Justice Hughes was
| concerned. Hughes is known among the
motion picture camera men and newspaper
| photographers as one of the most difficult
men in the United States to film.
l.. j. Simons, staff camera man for the
| motion picture news reel released twice
weekly by the SSlig Company, relates his ex-
| perience in endeavorng to photograph Jus
| tice Hughes before the Republican National
| Convention convened in Chicago. Simons
| haunted the Hughes home for two DAYS He
set up his movie camera across the street
equipped with n "long shot" lens and wait
ed and waited Justice Hughes sought the
shelter of friendly tree on two or more
occasions, but finally was accosted by the
movie camera man.
why won't you let me take your picture.
Justice Hughes?" inquired Simons, who
shook hands with the jurist and frantically
held on to the hand in order to continue the
conversation.
Il have refused every other photographer
In Washington,N replied Justice Hughes
and can see no reason why should ac.
commodate you This sort of publicity does
not seem desirable to me- you know"
Il shall wait here all day until l get
your picture" said Simons
We'll, you can wait" replied the Sill
preme Court Justice, but I'm going into
the house now and l expect to remain
there"
And Justice Hughes was as good as his
word Alert camera men and staff news
paper photographers waited without until
evening, but Hughes failed to appear
again.
