WILL CONNELL

Will Connell is that rarity–a photographer whose sense of

humor extends to his own work. Living in Los Angeles, he

has but to turn toward Hollywood to find ample material for

his humorous and satirical talents. "In Pictures" is its own

proof of the use to which he has put his gifts. More than a

picture story, these pictures are a surer, swifter satire than

"Once in a Lifetime" or "Boy Meets Girl." Connell show

how wide the abilities of the camera are when a thorough tech-

nician, a penetrating mind, and the all important satirical

impulse are blended in one talent capable of dissecting a

national institution with its own instruments of torture

. . . ground glass, shutter and lens.
