And a daily problem, if you can believe the cameraman, in the making of the movies. Because every actor has one—at least I've never met an actor without—and it's his fate to lose by a nose in the bajtle of the sexes for closeups. There's just nothing anyone can do about it. . It crops up, this problem, every time a movie hero cops a kiss. The hero can be the star, and the heroine, or kissee, just a struggling kid two steps out of the chorus, but it's always the same. The kisser loses by a nose. Actors generally have big noses or they wouldn't be actors.’ A small nose might be all right on a collarad but it wouldn't impress on the screen. When a prominent nose fights its way into close-up in a Kkissing scene it blots out the view of the Kkissee. This, of course, would never do. The kissee, whether she rates it or not, is dragged forth from behind that nose and brought into the light of the lens. .. Noses . . . Fascinat- The rule holds for the most romantic noses in town. It holds for Flynn and Gable, for Taylor and Cagney, for Richard Freene and Tyrone Power—and the latter two noses are small as acting noses go. It holds even when Cagney’s upturhed nose is placed in competition to leading lady Jane Bryan's also tilted nose in the romantic interludes of “Each Dawn I Die.” Cagney loses the close-up—by a nose. And there are two probosci (oh well, noses) which never, never know romance. One belongs to Mr. W. C. Fields, the other to Mr. J. Durante. No, there—I've just remembered Basil Rath- we’re modest ... but we still have to admit that we serve the finest plate luncheon in all Juneau — for only forty cents — Perey’s P Lo bome. The Rathbone nose does not preclude a movie kiss entirely —but it certainly calls for the conventional tréatment: Kissee gets the closeup, Kisser gets it in the neck. Director Willilam McGann has learned about horses, even more than he knew before. He was shooting on the Canejo horse-breeding farm of the E. and W. Janss interésts in Ventura county, making “Gantry the Great.” Gantry is the 15-year-old blind horse owned by Miss Eleanor Getzendaner of Des Plaines, Ill. Shipped west with Gantry, al- thought not for the picture, was thé owners: gray 17-year-old broad jumper, Suicide. Gantry and Suicide are stablemates and their owner never separates them. Just as McGann was starting his first scene a terrifi¢ commo- tion was heard in a nearby stall—as of a horse trying to kick his way through the solid plank walls. A stableman came running. “Sorry, boss,” he told the director, “Can’'t nothing be done about it 'cept take that blind Gantry horse and that gray over there and introduce 'em. You see that fellow in there making all the rumpus is Top Row, the old boy himself. And he don't like strange horsés on the ranch unmless he’s met ‘em.” McGann consented to the formalities—and it worked. 'Top Row, the great racer, went back to his oats, Gant.ry went back to the cameras, and Suicide back to sleep. -~ | There is no substitute for Newspaper Adveriising "
