Coprright, 1920, by the Press Publish HE first step toward getting a good photograph is to have something inside—as well as Be made. That is the text of a most imteresting talk with Pirie Mac- Donald, who at Atlantic City recently tok the Photographers’ Association ef the Middle Atlantic States that more simplicity and less flattery ‘would make better photos. In his studio at No. 576 Fifth Ave- fue he showed me what amounts to @ pictorial “Who's Who” in big busl- Ress, politics, literature, war and the _ehurch. He did Mrs. Roosevelt's fa- vorite picture of her huyband; on his walls is a picture of Henry Cabot Lodge; another shows Henry Wat- terson as the splendid old fighter, who never used buttons on his foils; Im the eyes of the photograph of Amundsen are all the explorers Schwab, Arnold Bennett, . Vail, Sir Oliver Lodge, Dan- tel Willard, Root, Darwin P. King: ley, Henry Van Dyke, Major Ian Hay Beith, Arthur Woods, the Archbishop of York, Sir Robert Baden Powell and Eégar Lee Masters are among the other notable men who have gat for Mr. MacDonald. “American faces are best for +my 3,” he explained; “not be- cause they are more beautiful, or even more animated, but because they are more frank. There was a period, of course, when no women was satisfied unless her husband's photograph was more beautiful than he was. “The old idea of a photograph was that it should ‘be beautiful at the ex- pense of everything else—character, strength, wisdom, truth, When I first began to work—I have been in business thirty-six years—I had in my estudio a beautiful picture of Maurice Barrymore. Maurice Barry- more was an exceedingly handsome mean, And every man who came to me took one look at that photo- graph and said: ‘That's exactly what Iwant Make me look just like him’ So I turned out scores of photographs whioh were not likenesses at but more or less effective imitations ef Maurice Barrymore. “Now I believe that the secret of taking a good photograph consists amply in grasping the essential char- ecter of the man, then eliminating everything which takes away from that character and NOT eliminating anything which is a part of it ‘That is why there are wrinkles in my photographs. lt is a deta!l—but the fact remains that a mature man of power and achievement has worked and thougtit into his face the lines which are there.” “What are some of the most inter- esting types of American men that you have found?" I asked. “a characteristic New York type,” said Mr, MacDonald, “is the great executive—not the iman who could be am executive in Dayton, O,, or At- Janta, Ga, or Baltimore, Md., and get away with it, but the man for whom these towns and others have been too smail, who has come to New York under his own power be- cause in no other place could he so well express himself.” “Not every man,” I suggested, “has a character fit to print, If a photo- graph should be @ revelation of the sitter’s soul, what happens when he is cruel, or unscrupulous, or a plain yellow dog? Sargent is said to be rather unpopular with his sitters, because he paints character too Yaithfully,” “The man you describe is married, sn't he Mr. MacDonald back, “Then there be thing in him, somewhere, which wife bind that!

As for defects, ugliness and strength are not necessarily synonymous, and I do not try to make my sitter ugly. But neither is beauty which is a lie real beauty. | We spoke of women’s photographs, | which Mr, MacDonald never does, 0 |he merely offered the general sus-| gestions that a woman should not use powder and makeup before hav- | \ing her picture taken, and that her | |dress and its accessories should be | as simple as possible, in order not | to date the picture and not to dis- tract attention from the face. “If a photograph should show the | | character,” I asked finally, “how do} you manage to take a picture of the | chinless ineffective, the young man with no character at all?” “I don't,” laughed the brutally candid Mr. MacDonald. “I tell him to go over the way to Mme. 8, who makes beautiful photographs!" : The Jarr | Family By Roy L.

Conprish!, 1920, by The Preas Publishing Co, (The New York Prening World) In Lent, 1920, Some people are giving up sugar, (And at least the: venteen to twenty-one cents on each pound); Others are swearin otf butter; Ever so many men are denying themselves prohibition cocktails. Wouldn't it be won-der-ful save If we should surrender some of those indulgences which give US most Pleasure And other people LEAST? Why shouldn't Every husband give up being late to dinn'er, And petting his before-breakfast grouch, And moaning over the meat bill, And swearing when his wife says that he probably never loved her, and, anyway, he doesn't now, And fussing because she keeps the taxi waiting five minutes, And criticising because she powders her nose in public, And calling her “hypocritical” because she is reasonably polite even to persons she dislikes, And explaining to her all the mistakes in her method of dealing with the cook, And talking to her with his cigar in his mouth, And kissing her with his hat on, And looking reproachful because she has forgotten to remind him to buy a dozen new collars, And ajways, forever, eternally holding HER responsible Because the milkman is late, the iceman doesn't come, the furnace fire goes down, the sugar bowl runs dry, the maid stays out all night, the grapefruit is sour, the children never get up when called. Yes, it would not only please Deity, it would THRILL a wife, If her husband “gave up" some of these little pastimes during Lent. As for her, She might give up “ragging” him whenever she happens to be tired, Putting him through the third degree, Trying to convert him in any argument by the foree of maddening iteration, Trying to ma him wear rubbers, Scolding because he drops matches on the floor, Expecting him to be r ntic and impassioned and sentimental when the poor man is tired to death and has had a fight with his sales manager besides, Spoiling his best stories by “butting in” with the point of them, ‘Telephoning to him about nothing during office hours, Registering public disapproval of his neckties, Reading the riot act when he wants to go to a “stag” dinner, Opening his letters and picking his pockets, And, for the sake of getting her own sweet way, Whimpering, whining, sulking, weeping, nagging, sputtering, spong- ing, lying, uplifting, playing the martyr, Giving up all these ingenious wifely tricky during Lent Might put marriage on a peace basis Which not even the bill for the Easter hat and frock could dist urd; (And it will be Dear Lent And then $OMIE bill this year!) penitent, why not “give up until it hurts?” 4 HIM do it-—with a SMILE! ace ares Do You Reach Down to Lift Up?
