- Miriam Jordan is the photog.
raphers' delight of Hollywood
Blond, Madonna-like, with clas-
sical feature and divine slen-
derness, knights of the camera the
world over have sought to permanize
her beauty in their medium. Most
beauties have had this experience. Few
of them have the original slant OF the
photographers that Miriam Jordan has.
She tells you the story Of her pictorial
career most humorously.
"E. o. Hoppe, famous photographer
of the British Isles, was the first to
photograph me after I became pro-
fessional. He loved the idyllic and the
ethereal. And his results were just that,
but the process was anything but idyllic
or ethereal 1t took him at least half
an hour Just to pose you. This Is the
photographer who takes nearly all the
portraits Of the King and Queen OF
England. He works three months Of
the year and then travels the rest of
the time. After his half hour of stren-
uous effort in posing you-broken by
long meditative sessions-he says in a
soft wheedling voice, 'Float-think you
are floating And thus he achieves
that ethereal effect which has charac-
terized Hoppe portrait. Three months
each year he photographs people who
come to him for sittings and who pay
him. The other nine months he wan
ders about with his camera, etheraliz-
ing the faces he sees that appeal to
him-without pay"
The most unusual experience other
than Hoppe which Miriam Jordan had
In the British Isles studios was that
of a portrait by Dorothy Wilding,
woman photographer of England.

dan, lis q stout little woman Of 36 or

is Of the feminine persuasion. Four
girls work with her at each portrait
sitting. Each girl has light and as
Dorothy Wilding works she turns her
eyes to where she wants the lights
placed. The only time she speaks is
when she corrects her assistants, say
ing criSply: Watch my eyes-watch
