army of skilled craftsmen who
make movies for which publi-
cized stars and directors take
credit, but who rarely are put
on public display.
Mr.. Allan, in fact, may be
the first still photographer
ever sent off on a public ap-
pearance junket to ballyhoo
an upcoming movie, in this
case "Sergeants Three" This
one stars Frank Sinatra and
friends and his work on it won
Mr.. Allan the position Of court
photographer to that group
other people call the Clan, with
the title of Farley Focus.
-
Mr.. Allan got into photog-
raphy almost by accident. With
aspirations as an artist as we'll
as an actor, he worked be-
tween acting chores in the
early days for a firm making
theater lobby displays. A COM
petitor came along doing the
same sort of thing cheaper
with photography, so Mr.. Allan
had to turn to a camera to
meet the competition.
BY the time the depression
arrived he had acquired a wife
and daughter and it occurred
to him that a family man
ought to have something more
substantial than an acting ca
reer for a foundation. He
started working in the various
Photographic labs in Holly
wood.
In the early 1930s he opened
his own photo studio and in
no time at all was hired away
from himself by Goth Century
Fox. The first films on which
he worked we're those old
Charlie Chans that starred
Warner GLAND.
Later he moved to MGM,
graduating from Charlie Chan
to Tarzan. Soon he graduated
again, this time from TarZan
to Jean Harlow. Later he did
the still photographs for a
number of the big films at
MGM, then became head of the
studios portrait gallery. He
has worked also for David o.
Selznick. the Columbia Broad
casting System, Columbia Pic
lures and Cecil B. DeMille.

While all of this was going
on, Mr.. Allan kept returning
to acting periodically, possibly
because he couldn't help no.

The Bandit of Sherwood For
est" and The Fabulous Susan"
Mr.. Allan must have per-
formed satisfactorily both as
an actor and photographer. De-
Mile hired him again, any,
how, first as still cameraman
on Samson and Delilah," then
as an actor in THE Ten Com
mandments."
The still photographer, one
gathers, does not have an easy
life, though good directors
know how valuable the fruits
of his labors are in the selling
of movies. Even the most un-
derstanding directors, however,
do not like to see the budget
battered by scenes fouled up
by the still cameraman.
So the photographer has to
get his pictures from as close
as possible to the position of
the movie camera, without get
ting in the way or falling over
things. 1t is not always, in
fact it is hardly ever, easy.
Mr.. Allan managed to do it
often enough during the max
ing of "Sergeants Three" to
come up with 10000 still pic
lures. He occasionally had to
resort to such subterfuges as a
telephoto lens, but subterfuges
or no, 10000 stills must be a
track record.
- -
AS many of these as could
be crowded onto the walls of
the living room of his hotel
suite made an impressive back
ground for lunch with Mr.. AL
Ian the other day. More i'm
pressive, though, was his en-
thusiasm for his work, evident
in all his talk about it.
And he really expanded
whenever a news photographer
arrived to take his picture. This
was a dual joy. First, it gave
Mr.. Allan a chance to act (his
style is more DeMille than Me-
thod) while posing. Then it
gave him an understanding ear
SO he could talk about his
favorite subject in that jargon
that only another cameraman
can fathom without an inter-
prefer.
He disappeared completely
while engaged in talk of shut
ter speeds, lighting, apertures
and whatnot during one of
these visits, but his wife
(Singer Jeanette Brooks when
they married. was unworried.
You ought to see him at
home" she said. The phone
rings at all hours. Somebody
with problem has been told
to call Ted Allan and he's al
ways ready to talk photography
and help find a solution. IT
may be a friend, a casual ac-
quaintance or even a complete
stranger; it doesn't make any
difference to Ted if somebody
wants to talk pictures.

Major Patterns

cate that youngsters expla-

major patterns:
/. They are involved in crime
"for kicks"
2. They have participated
mainly because they wanted to
be accepted by friends who are
inclined to lawbreaking.
3. They are unwanted at
home and turn to crime simply
for something to do"
4. They have turned to
crime in rebellion against pa
rental strictnesS.
