A Vivid Imagination.

CLIFF EDWARDS, known through
~ out the country as "Ukulele Ike"
believes that imagination is one of the
most important assets that an actor
can have. In fact. he insists that
without it there can be no acting
worthy of d name. That he possessed
that quality early in life is clearly in
dicated by the story of his childhood.
When | was a child" says Mr..
Edwards Il used my ina gination to
the full, with results that were not
always understood. For instance. at
one Of my first schools was teacher
who gave our class compositions 10
write She told us to take one day
out of our lives and describe what we
did from the time we got up in the
morning until we went to bed at
night.
Il hated to write a description of
one of my days They were all eX-
actly alike. ! just couldn't bring my
self to confess how duh and irksomo
nv life really was. If | told the truth.
| should have said that / got up in the
morning and ate my breakfast. after
which my brother and | carried III
the wood. gave the horses their meals
and then went to school, that we came
home in the afternoon, again did the
dailv chores and ate our evening
meal-and went to bed. That was the.
history of every day. but couldn't
write it.
Instead, wrote that my mother
was a very beautiful woman. with
long. coal-black hair chat swept the
floor, that she had been desperately
infatuated early in life with an Italian
count, that she did not care for the
man who was known as her husband
and my father. that she grieved con-
tinually, as I did, for Sunny Italy
and that / spoke Italian fiuently and
that both of us played wonderfully on
the guitar
'"The teacher read it and knew it
was untrue She planned, l suspect,
to trick me- SO the next day when
the best three compositions were to
be read aloud by the writer's. she
called out my name. She didn't think

The Flying Cranks.

THE Flying Cranks" is an organi-
Zation recently formed by Direc-
tor William Wellman in Hollywood. 1t
is a group of six cameramen, all of
whom are experts in photography and
likewise experienced flyers with many
hours in the air to their credit.
The organization came into being
when Wellman was assigned to direct
'The Legion of the Condemned" a
companion story to Wings" The
young director wanted innovations in
camera angles and shots which would
not conflict with the results obtained
during the filming Of the first air
picture.
Consequently he organized THE
Flying Cranks," and before produc-
ton on "The Legion of the Condemn
ed was started these men spent
an average of three hours a day in
the air working out new camera an
giles which could be used in the pic
ture. About two-thirds of the ideas
obtained in this period of the expert
mentation have been carried out in
the air sequences Of the screen story,
