CKmate Gives Canadians Pep Hollywood Photographer Is Impressed by Canadian-born Stars Stanley Cortex, a director of photograp'hy in Hollywood, said in a newspaper interview at Toron- to recently that the Canadian clim- ate may have somethinjr to <lo with the success of Canadian screen stars. After sniffing the cold, clear air on learving his train Mr. Cor- tez said the atmosphere in Can- ada accounted for the fact that such stars as Nonpa Shearer, Deanna Durbin, Gloria Jean and Mary Pickford were not temper- mental and that "they seem to have so much more pep." The director was accompanied by his wife, the former Mildred Rehn of Vancouver, whom he met when she was in pictures in Hol- lywood.
