...parties united in stormily denouncing the British Newspaper Proprietors' Association last week. During the months and years in which the story of Mrs. Simpson grew abroad, the docile N. P. A. muzzled itself under Government pressure and kept mum as long as possible, but recently its reporters and cameramen have "got completely out of hand"-in the House of Commons' opinion...
...Emanuel Shinwell last week were typical of British extremes which met to give horrible examples of journalistic prying and peeping into British lives, high, low and intermediate. The coroner in a gruesome North London accident case last week was quoted in the House as remarking of N. P. A. cameramen: "They showed scant regard for decencies in their treatment of the dying patient!" Closing the debate, Home Secretary Sir John Simon warmly assured M.P.'s that he will remonstrate with the N. P. A., drew hearty cheers from all quarters of the House...
...Chatsworth, Calif., Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer rented 500 acres, carved a replica of a Chinese landscape complete with Great Wall.* Real farms were planted, a real water buffalo imported to turn the imported water wheels. A year and five months were spent shooting 5,500 extras. In China Good Earth cameramen ran through 100,000 ft. of film, in the U. S. 250,000. Only 14,000 are used in the final product.

With cameramen lurking everywhere, their owner hunts, fishes, and plays with them for a very entertaining quarter-hour. This not one of Grantland Rice's run-of-the-mine features. His men went out of their way to get these pictures, and the result was undoubtedly worth the trouble...
...perched on a snow-covered bluff, looked down on a yellow sea where its business district and part of its residential district had been. There Paul Schmidt, chairman of the local Red Cross, got a lift from a passing skiff which promptly sank under him. Before a boatload of cameramen would rescue him they made him turn his profile so they could take his picture (see cut). A few miles farther down the sloshing water seemed to have no shore. In Paducah, Ky., at the mouth of the Tennessee River, the Coast Guard reported that 30% of the town...
