• 'I' wen I y AMERICAN CINEM ATOG RAPHE R March, 1926 (Continued from Page 10) Perry Goes to Paramount Harry Perry, A. S. C, has been retained at the Famous Players-Lasky studios in Hollywood as chief cinematographer for Lucien Hubbard, supervisor on the Paramount productions of the Zane Grey stories. Perry's work in "The Vanishing American" gained wide recognition for bringing the beauties of western scenic country to the screen. Perry worked with Hubbard on the prologue in this production which was photographed with Charles E. Schoenbaum as regular staff cinematographer. Perry later served with Hubbard on Zane Grey's "Desert Gold," soon to be released. The A. S. C. member was scheduled to photograph Sol Lesser's production of "The Winning of Barbara Worth," the famous novel by Harold Bell Wright, but the sale of film rights to the vehicle to Samuel Goldwyn brought an end to the Lesser production plans. Started With Famous Players-Lasky The present affiliation is not Perry's first with Famous Players-Lasky. It was with that organization that he first rose to prominence as a cinematographer. Paramount pictures filmed by Perry include "The Easy Road," "The City of Silent Men," "White and Unmarried," "The Conquest of Caanan," "A Prince There Was," and "If You Believe It, It's So," all starring Thomas Meighan. When Tom Forman, who had been Meighan's director, left Paramount to direct for B. P. Schulberg, Perry went with Forman as chief cinematographer, filming a number of important productions including "The Broken Wing" and "The Virginian."
