full as the girl who lives down the

about the stars that make their
personalities and that make their
faces interesting.
"A photograph is not what the
eye sees. 1t is an illusion. You ex-
press certain mood of person by
suggestion of hair-do, costume and
pose. I use fancy settings for a
good many of my pictures, but the
most difficult thing to do is to take
good closeup. Then everything
is eliminated but the face and you
are left to concentrate on the mouth,
nose and eyes. That is the test Of
good photographer-how much
expression he can get into close

Worked With Jeanne Eagles.
WaXman Is a New Yorker At the
age of IA he obtained job by sheer
nuisance value at the old Fort Lee
motion picture studios in New Jer-
sey as an assistant cameraman. He
worked on pictures starring Jeanne
Eagles, Madge Evans and others.
Waxman was SO small and slight in
those days that he could hardly lug
the camera around.
After two years at Fort Lee, Wax
man shipped out on a tramp steam
er for South America. His wander
lust sated, he returned to Manhat-
tan to work for leading portrait
photographers. Waxman didn't like
the pictures his bosses were taking,
SO he opened his own studio when
he was 10. In 1922 he hipped out
on another tramp steamer for Holly
wood and there became a special
photographer for Jackie Coogan on
the Metro lot. Until 1923 he pho
tographed every star in the busi-
ness, from Nazimova to Joan Craw-
ford and from Lillian Gish to Myrna
10y.
Late in 1928 Waxman left for a
three-week vacation in Hawaii, but
his rowing nature asserted itself
again and he stayed away for three
years, visiting every part of the
world and taking pictures en- route.
In Paris he took photographs for
the top fashion houses. He returned
to New York to work for Harper's S
Bazaar, and his pictures also have
been seen in other leading picture
and fashion magazines. When he
isn't photographing girls or dogs,
he collects chess sets. His favorite
color is red.
And what of a glamour photo

"A glamour photograph" says
WaXman, lis one of girl which will
lend itself to the imagination of the
public that she is beautiful, ro-

Murder Still Is Funny

too, will remember Mama For
Miss Forbes created in her memor-
able person who lived and breathed
as convincingly as any character in
a printed age can do. In the COM
edy-drama he has fashioned, Mr..
Van Druten is found to have taken
full advantage of the opportunity to
embody this woman of fiction, his
maternal wheelhorse of a trans
planted Norwegian family living in
San Francisco. A gripping charac-
terization results and this applies
not only to the mother, but to all
the 81 persons who fill her orbit.
1t is simple play, simple in con-
ception, simply set forth. There are
delightful moments of honey charm
and action which, in its very humil-
ity, grips because of the strong hu-
man quality infusing it. The action
consists of series of vignettes of
family life with the eldest daughter
acting between scenes as narrator
an unnecessary eXpedient at times
which causes a drag to the dra-
matte movement. Also, there is at
least one unnecessary scene.
But Mama is the main thing.
The play depends upon her, and in
the character role Mady Christians
requites fully her responsibility.
And, as said, the entire company
meets every requirement of the au-
thor's notably drawn characterize
tions. notably Oscar Homolka, as
the drunken uncle, and Joan Tetzel,
as the eldest daughter with Literary

| HOLLY WOOD. =
Donald the Duck had the proud
est expression on his cunning little
face as he did the samba- -jonga with
glorious Aurora Miranda of Brazil
and no wonder. 1t is the first time
that Walt Disney has let his pre-
cious Donald in contact with people
Of this earth.
The other day when I went out
to see Walt Disney, he showed me
couple of reels of The Three
Caballeros,' his new full-length mu-
sical feature in technicolor. Though
this is no review, I must tell you
that Disney is at his best in this
picture. 1t is full of songs, girls and
even new creation, lovable little
fellow by the name of Panchito.
He is Mexican rooster of hospitable
ways which owns a magic flying
serape.
The picture starts out on the
morning of Donald Ducks BIRTH
day anniversary. He comes down to
breakfast to find a huge package
sent to him by his friends in South
America. The first parcel he opens
is miniature movie protector con-
tanning a reel about the adventures
of Pablo, a penguin who lives at the
South Pole.
And Flying Donkey.
| In another reel, Donald meets
scme rare South American birds.
One of them is little flying donkey
which wins the greatest race of the
season from all the famous horses
in the pampas region.
Then on the magic serape Donald
goes to the famed city of Bahia and
meets Aurora Miranda, who is the
sister of Carmen. Naturally, Donald
falls in love, but before any damage
is done, he's whisked away to Mex
leo. That is the part which I saw
and found by long shot the best
Disney has ever done.
1t is just fantastic when you see
Donald and his cartoon friends
among the living people. The process
is new one and I can't 60 into de-
tail about it as it's a secret which
belongs to Mr. Disney, who cares
about the process All you and
want is the sensational result.
You'll go wild when you see Dom
aid and his friends on the magic
serape flying through space and
landing wherever their fancy takes
them-Brazil. Mexico. Besides being
great entertainment, this picture
shows us the scenery, the people,
their habits and customs, their his
tory and everything else which you
want to know about our friends be-
low the Rio Grande.
Afterward I went in to see Walt
Disney, who happens to be in Holly

HOLLYWOOD.

Take 1t from Henry Waxman, one
of Hollywood's top glamour portrait
artists, If 1t comes to a choice be-
tween photographing a beautiful
movie star and a dog, well, he'll take
the dog every time. Dogs have no
temperament or vanity, he points
|out sagely, and that makes it mucn
easier to get naturalness and orig
inality into the pose.
Henry presides over the Warner
Bros. portrait gallery, which makes
his statement all the more remark
able, for there are some mighty
pretty gals on that lot and certainly
not all of them are temperamental-
or are they? Maybe it's just that
Henry is pushover when it comes
to dogs.
One time before Henry got mixed
up with studio stills-and tempera-
ment-he was introduced to beau
tiful girl. He made an appoint
ment to make some pictures of her
at her home. Arriving there next
day, Henry, who also had accounts
with a couple of slick-paper maga-
zines to furnish them with fine dog
shots, was enchanted with the
glamour girls Scotty.
Dog Pictures Popular.
AS result, Waxman spent the
entire day lensing the girls pooch
She sat around burning up. The
dog pictures turned out excellently
and were printed widely in national
magazines. Completely immersed in
his work, Waxman neglected to
make a single shot of the dogs
lovely owner.
Its a heck of a lot easier to pho
tograph a dog than a girl" said
Waxman philosophically. You can't
say to dog, Give me softer ex-
preston in your eye or Look more
soulful A dog is a dog, strictly
without temperament or ego.
But girl-aah A girl is any
thing YOU want to make of her. With
la touch of makeup and a piece of
silk and some lights you can turn
her into a 14-year-old or a woman
Iof the world. It's selection and dis
Termination that counts there"
Waxman was seated in his studio
gallery waiting for Bette Davis to
come in for sitting. He Is slight
lmild-mannered man who looks less
than his A years. He wears glasses
and has high forehead and likes to
dress comfortably In sneakers and
loafer jackets.
His gallery is modernistically fur
nished with lavish items from re-
cent romantic films. In store
room to one side are stocked all sorts
of props and incidentals that Wax
man uses for his photographs.
Valentino Favorite Subject.
He likes to lend a touch of the
surrealistic to his studies of the
stars and photograph people such
as Ioa Lupino, Nancy Coleman and
Alexis Smith being broken over
torture wheels, tied to stakes or
looking sultry in jungle setting
He once pictured Dolores Moran
Blond siren, reposing on bulls-eye
in target with arrows surrounding
her. 1t was widely reproduced.
Waxman photographs men, too.
The best subject I ever had was
la man-Rudolph Valentino" he
says. He had terrific energy and
was willing to work and pose as
much as necessary. Men, as a rule
do not offer as many Photographic
problems as women. You photo
