Still Men Reveal a New Type

Suggest Portrait Posing and Players Kick Like Steer. Though Photos Bring Them Some of Their Best Publicity

faintest of halos in most Holly wood eyes, but Coburn is en- thusiastic about her. Once, too busy for a studio sitting, she had him come to her house in the eve ming. He arrived at 10 o'clock and they worked until 3 a. m.
 Merle Oberon is another who's very patient and helpful. Miriam Hopkins is hard to pin down to an appointment, but she keeps those she makes. Also she offers good suggestions.
 Irene Dunne is one who becomes
 self-conscious before the still
 camera, and would rather visit Q
 dentist than sit for Coburn. He
 admires her great deal. Also he
 likes Dolores Del Rio. who bellies her impression of patrician dig- nity. She'd stand on her head if a cameraman needed Q shot. So would Andrea Leeds.
 Most men are self conscious about posing with women, espe- cially in kissing scenes. William Powell and Richard Dix are two notable exceptions, the -photog- rapher says. When a tight clinch is suggested, they grab the girl in a way that almost melts the emul- sion on the film.
 Gary Cooper is putty in Q still mans hands. Cooper doesn't know how to pose, and realizes 1t, so he allows a photographer to tell him exactly what to do. That makes him perfect subject.

Enough talent to cast a half. dozen big Broadway productions, with the accompanying music, spec ialty numbers, dance offerings, set- tings, costumes, etc., is offered in the streamlined farce-musical- edy, Merry Co., Round of 1888" which begins it's four day run at.the Warner State theater today.
 Hollywood, Broadway and way points were apparently diligently combed for talent and novelties for this production. Mischa Auer, Alice Brady and Louise Fazenda, enough comedy talent for three pictures, are in featured roles in the production. As if that were not enough, Billy House, Jimmie Savo and Bert Lahr were imported from Boardway-each of whom is Q stellar name in any mans show.
 Dave Apollon's orchestra, long noted as the best musical act on the American stage, is in Q featured spot in the picture. And Harold Adamson and Jimmie McHugh, famous Broadway and Hollywood song writing team, composed music for the orchestra renditions and for the song numbers by the four male comedians, and by Joy Hodges, another Broadway favorite who has just arrived in the big town via the national coast-tO-cOast radio networks. John King, of Road Back" fame, is seen op- posite Miss Hodges in the chief male romantic lead.

 (NEA Service Stan Correspondent)
 Hollywood-You'd think the movie stars would be extra gracious and cooperative with studio still pho- tographers, for certainly the pie lures printed in newspapers and magazines are the most unvaryingly favorable publicity that players can receive.
 Well, some of lem are very nice indeed. Many are painfully per- snickety, and others kick like bay steer at the mere mention of posing for portraits. Hollywood's still men have a list of favorites very differ ent from the preferences of most groups who come in contact with the stars.
 Katharine Hepburn, for instance, is a photographers delight. Her a1- gular features offer chances for arty effects. She poses gracefully and patiently. And she keeps ap- pointments on the dot.
 Sylvia Sidney, on the other hand, may be the favorite of the corres- pondents but she's @ headache to the camera boys. They're the ones on whom she pours whatever pent up fruy happens to be hoarding. Nobody, perhaps even Miss Sidney herself, knows the reason for this antipathy.
 Ginger Rogers, an agreeable and flexible personality in most ways, is another troublesome subject. For one thing, she's very difficult to light advantageously. For another, she refuses to follow photograph ers' direction and attempts to pose herself. Has large mirror placed next to the camera and believes the lens will see her as she sees her. self. Wrong, of course. q
 Marlene Dietrich and Claudette Colbert have the same trick. The latter will allow only the left side of her face to be photographed, and that adds to the complications. He's Independent
 Most still photographers are very reticent about discussing their subjects, but Bob Cobur1l, head of Samuel Goldwyn's still de. partment, is such skillful ana sought-after picture maker that he can afford to be outspoken.
 Also by refusing to play stooge for the whims and tantrums Of stars he has won respect end spe- cial requests for his services. Miss Sidney asked for him.
 Constance Bennett used to have q trick of telling still men: "1ll give you just 10 seconds to make your picture" Then she'd ridicule them while they fumbled their equipment in an effort to get set up and shoot in such a short time.
 When she gave Coburn her
 1O-second ultimatum he picked
 up his camera and walked away.
 For three years thereafter he
 was the only photographer for
 whom she'd pose. And he always
 took his time.
 Coburn, 34, has been in Holly wood 17 years and Is a former tographcr who returned 10 his first love, the still camera. Most difficult subjects he recalls in his time were Clara Bow, who seldom kept an appointment and clowned through those she did keep, and Ricardo Cortez. The latter was sarcastic and lust plain ornery.
