old Chinese proverb about pic

words. "A color picture says
he, lis worth ST 900"
You've probably heard of
Paul HeSse. And if you haven't
you have seen his photographs.
They are everywhere-on mag
azine covers, in ciSaret ads, on
billboardS and in the homes of
just about every star in Holly.

In his plush Hollywood stu
Go, which looks like an M-G-M

Llinks at a parade of Hollywood
glamor queens, cover girls, ba-
pieS, Socialltes, shipyard weld
ers and models posing for
everything from under-a r m
deodorant advertisements TO
cigarets.
HeSse looks more like a Hol-
lywood leading man than a pho.
tographer. He's on the dapper
side, grazing hair, tan face,
charm, a way with the ladies so
important in picture taking.
His marriage, though. to his
favorite model, Elyse Knox,
lasted only year. People in
Hollywood he says, ARE too
independent. They don't lean on
each other. They both want ca
reers.'
An erstwhile artist, Hesse
turned photographer when he
returned from France after
World War l. he W; one of the
first TO recognize the advantage
of color photography over black
and white. AS he says, You get
more character out of face or
a subject in color. It's alive and
kicking and, Il like to let the
camera pick up the colors."
Hesse always works with a
radio or monograph turned on.
1t sets a mood, and the subjects
can't hear the click of the cam
era. And sometimes he serves
champagne 10 his subjects to
get little extra sparkle" He's
taken some pictures in less than
10 minutes, has spent several
hours" on others. He once spent
almost whole day trying TO
photograph Claudette Colbert
and didn't get picture. Next
day they tried II again-and
again they didn't get a picture.
"Claudette sorta bawled me out
that time he said. Il thought l
was slipping but the next day
she came in again and we got
the picture in 10 minutes.
The nearest he ever came 10
encountering Hollywood temp
erament, Hesse said, was when
he was photographing a certain
blonde star beside her swim
ming pool. She was wearing a
pair of slacks over her bathing
suit because he was just photo
graphing her from the waist up.
Il flicked a little water on her
face for realism, he said, and
some of il got on her Stacks. She

Hesse gets most of his ideas
for his pictures himself. That re-
cent magazine cover of a boy
ish sailor looking for the first
time at his baby, born while he
was at sea, was Hesses idea. He
picked up sailor on a Holly
wood street corner, borrowed
the baby from his masseur and
hired a model for the mother.

One way or another we must
do something with all our ma
tive emotional drives. Fearful
ness, curiosity, self-regard, SEX
ual desire, pugnacity - such
emotional urges are an essential
part of us. We can either be
ignobly enslaved by them or
master them for the enrichment
of our personality.
Curiosity is normal emo
tional urge. The Peeping Toms,
prying gossips, inquisitive bores,
open-minded truth-seekers, dar-
ing eplorers, research scientists
are all illustrations Of curiosity.
Some ue5 of it produce the most
despicable, while others produce
the most admirable persons, but
one way or another there is no
escaping it, Able neither to ex-
pei, neglect, nor with impunity
suppress it, we must do some
thing with it, good, bad, or in
different. From this fact, which
holds true of all our native
drives, a double lesson comes:
first, no basic emotional factor
in human nature is to be desplt
ed; and second, each of them can
be ennobled by its use.
Pugnacity is one of the most
deeply rooted emotional drives
in human nature. It's ill effects
are so obvious, it so ravages the
world-"When we plant war,
we raise hell'-that in any sys-
tenn of ethics pugnacity gets a
bad name, and its elimination
sometimes seems the only cure.
Pugnacity, in the general
sense of conduct aggressively
maintained in the face of oppo-
sition, cannot be eliminated,
and if it could be we should be
ruined by its loss. There are
evils in this world that must be
fought, and when war has been
outlawed and its mass murder
has become a horrid memory,
combativeness will still be ne
cessary TO the continuance and
advance of human life. The
fighting spirit expresses itself
not only in unreasoning anger
and violence, but in competitive
sports, in hard work. in the
brace facing of personal hazards
and handicaps, and in the whole
range OF attack on entrenched
social evils. When Martin Luz

Of on editorial in the Church Of England Newspaper
exoressno hope thot President Roosevelt would be

Such on editorial seems to indicate on ignorance

The Church Of England Newspaper has every
