Leaving a Los Angeles concert, wily Cinemactress Greta Garbo chose a rear exit. In the alley outside she came face to face with a wilier cameraman. For a moment camera-hating Garbo hesitated. Then, hoisting skirts and cloak, she covered her face, exposed her petticoat, fled straight past the delighted photographer...
...First World War (Fox) starts in 1895 with Germany's old Prince von Bismarck ("The Iron Chancellor") saluting for a cameraman. In 1904, the Prince of Wales is playing soldiers with his sister Mary and brother Albert, the Kaiser is visiting an orphanage, the Tsar is praying for his sick son, Alexis.

Last year at Miami, Hearst's brash Cameraman Sammy Schulman snapped Chicago's late Mayor Cermak bleeding from his fatal pistol wound (TIME, Feb. 27, 1933). Far more striking was William Warneke's famed shot of New York's Mayor Gaynor, taken a second after a bullet struck him in the neck. But no complete view of an assassination-before, during & after...
