How He Got His Picture-By Dressing As An Old Woman
Ingenious lot, photographers. Take Christos Poulides of Athens, for example. He was all lined up for a "scoop"- Princess Soraya of Greece had encountered furious seas when 40 miles off the shores of Myconos in her tiny yacht "Ellen", had spent a night on a desert island and was rescued the following mornings after 15 hours in peril. But her bashfulness was such that she refused to allow male photographers to get near her, and employed tough coast-guards to stave off the cunning telephoto-types. Away went out Christos, to return dressed as an old woman from the island. And the ruse succeeded, as his pictures show.
