Twelve AMERICAN CINEM ATOGR APHER August, 1926 Victor Milner, A. S. C, is working hard as chief cinematographer on Paramount's production of "Kid Boots" which is starring Eddie Cantor. E. Burton Steene, A. S. C, is photographing the Akeley camera shots for the production. Lengthy location trips on "Kid Boots" hold no terrors for Steene who has augmented his cinematographic equipment with modern seven-league-boots in the form of a powerful Marmon roadster with which to cover maximum distances with a minimum ticking of the clock. What with Milner's Lincoln, the new Marmon, all of Steene's cameras and lenses, not to mention Milner's auxiliary Ford, does not this make a high-powered pair of cinematographers? * * Harold Wenstrom, A.
