Will a new, modern, moderate price hotel in Norwalk pay 1?
That is the question uppermost in the minds of all those who believe
that such a hotel is an absolute necessity to the growth of the city.

Do You Know

There Is

A Motion Picture“ Studio
Right Here In No rwalk

 

But Don’t Go There to Get Job as “Leading Lady” Because
Mr. Bray Uses Pen and Ink for Characters—He Tells

About His Work to

a Sentinel Reporter.

 

B y KA'I'HhE EX LYDON

Out, of the. \Vest like Lochinvnrs of
old came the famous cartoonists of
today. And leading this caravan is
John R. Bray. now a bona tide. East-
erner and for the past two years a
resident of East Norwalk.

Mr. Bray is the producer of the fa-
mous Bray moving picture comedies
and the originator of the animated
cartoon. He has his own studio in
New York city. and just at present is
engaged in the filming of comedies
and educational features.

According to popular opinion prom-
inent personsgcs are pompous indi-
vidual; but Mr. Bray is anything but
pompous and meeting him at. his
beautiful home on Samoa litli. one
would never suspect that he began
life as a humtie cartoonist on a small
Detroit daily. Ills assignments. while
with this paper .caliod for caricatures
of all the leading citizens from the
Mayor down to the Selectman's prize
rooster.

Having depicted the Mayor at his
best and wheedled a raise out of his
boa. he succumbed to the lure of tho
wanderlust and with New York as his
Mecca. bade farewell to the “open
spaces. where men are men" and
boarded the first train East. Here. he
Joined the staff of the Brooklyn Eagle
but remained with them only a short
time. resigning to become associated
with Judge. Pluck aid the McClure
Syndicate; "

Anklng a cartoonist to name his fav-
orite character is akin to requesting
William Jennings Bryan to point'out
his presidential choice. In the case
of such a Versatile artist as Mr.
Bray. however. you really are very
curious to know which one occupies
the favored place. So with abated
breath. we put the question to him
and without a minute's hesitation. he
answered “Colonel lit-sailor." Remem-
ber the Colonel? If not on the pages
of your newspaper. then in the mo~
vies? He is the eldest of Mr. Bray's
several "brain-children" and you.
even pro-dates the Selectman's roost—
er.
Mr. Bray is very fond of the Col-
onel. for they have had some wonder-

ful adventures together. And it was
the (‘olonel who turned his creator's

attention to the movies.
At the time Mr. Bray was free-
lancing. doing cartoons and comic

supplements for several syndicates.
One day as he was putting the top
button on Hezailar's vest. the thoughl
occurred to him. that If cartoons were
so popular in newspapers and maga-
zines. why would they not be just as
popular on the screen? The. Colonel.
returning his gum. repeated. "Why
not?”

And so Mr. Bray and Hexalinr want
into seclusion for s. your and devoted
themselves to tho perfecting of the
animated cartoon.

At the same limo \Vindsor McCay
was similarly engaged. Mr McCay
was the first to complete his feature.
but. it was such a laborious process

that it was not very favorably re-
ceived. Then along came Mr. Bray
with the antics of the Colonel. lite

procedure was much simpler and less
‘expcnsive and was a great success.

"Out of the Inkwcll." "The Screen
Magazine" and the Bray series 0.
animal comedies are some of his ear-
lier offerings. The maJority of Mr.
Bray's early features were of the ani-
mal type. due. no doubt. to the fact
that he Was still under the influence
of that Detroit rooster.

Encouraged by the reception a0
corded his animated cartodns. for
which. incidently. he holds the patr
out. he next turned his attention to
technical drawings. Ry this means.
during the war. he made features ex-
plaining the mechanism of the Brown-
ing and Lewis machine guns. which
were shown in the training camps in
lieu of verbal instructions. They were
such a success that after the war. the
government again summoned him
into service and requested him to
make features for the army and navy
training schools.

Mr. liray has also made several
commercial films. including one for
the Burroughs Adding Machine com-
pany. showing the advantages of tho
adding machine over the old~fashlon-
