HOLLYWOOD (®—Ray Jones, dean of Hollywood’s portrait pho- tographers, loosed some tricks of his trade today and took a rap at “skinny” movie queens. Jones has served longer behind the camera than any other glamor photographer now practicing in the studios. He started lensing Mack Sennett bathing beauties back in 1923 and has shot almost every film queen since then. About the only exception: Garbo. It’s his job to make the gals look sensational, and he said that diets are often against him. . “These actresses think they have to be thin as a rail in order to stay popular,” he said. “I think that’s a lot of nonsense. Audiences have shown that they like to see their favorites len’-ing healthy and filled out, not skinny. “The skinny ores make my job difficult. It’s bad enough with the with those approaching 40 or after. They get bags under their eyes, their cheeks get hollow and they get that sagging, crepe neck that. is a giveaway for age. It takes a lot of retouching and diffusion to cover those things up.” That brought us to.the tricke of his business. What is diffusion? That’s a method of softening tre lens and lights so the camera will be more complimentary about what it records.
