Exhilarated last week by news that a Mrs. Lawrence Eugene Quinn had given birth to a 14 lb. 7 oz. boy-a San Francisco record-the editors of the San Francisco Call-Bulletin rushed a cameraman to the hospital, snapped Lawrence Eugene Quinn Jr., splashed the result down the entire first page of their second news section (see cut), believed they had printed the first full-length, life-size portrait of a human being ever to appear in a newspaper...
...that the acting is undistinguished would be to miss the point of the film--the chief feature of which is the superb photography. Bali is, of course, a paradise for workers in color, and the cameraman for Legong made the most of his opportunities. Maidens bathing at dawn in pale green pools, beats putting out to sea at dusk, cockfights, dances and gaudy funerals appear in all their natural beauty of color and action...
...Herald & Examiner, the pictures represented a notable scoop. City Editor John Dienhart had long had a standing order from hard-boiled Managing Editor Victor Watson for an electrocution picture.

In his frontrow aisle seat slouched Senate Leader Robinson, disgusted beyond words at the "Kingfish's" performance. Around the walls of the chamber stood...
...distinction of bespectacled, imperturbable John Jay ("Jack") Price is that he is a news photographer who can also write English. Author (News Photography), longtime chief cameraman for the late New York World and now a Manhattan free lance, Jack Price has long campaigned for the improvement of his unpopular trade by supplying all reporters with cameras to take their own pictures. This procedure would effectively abolish Jack Price's vocation, except for the fact that reporters stubbornly dis dain so practical an accomplishment as photography. Jack Price's trade, how ever, is now further than ever from extinction...
