American cinematographer (Jan-Dec 1926)

May, 1926 AMERICAN C I NE M AT OG R A PHER Twentyon" Article by A. S. C. Member Appears in April " American" Again proving his proficiency as a writer as well as a cinematographer, Herford Tynes Cowling, A. S. C, steps forth in the April number of The American Magazine as the author of ''Bringing the Ends of the Earth to Your Movie House." The article presents interesting points in Cowling's experiences as a cinematographer in all parts of the globe, and is liberally illustrated with rare "stills" taken by the A. S. C. member himself under the wildest and most primitive conditions. Cowling's career as a big-league writer includes a number of similar articles, one having appeared just recently in the Asia magazine. He returned last month from India where he filmed the coronation of Sir Hari Singh, having made the trip from Bombay to New York, in the record time of 19 days. A "flash" carries the information that he made 20,000 feet of the coronation. Carl Zeiss, Inc., Succeeds Harold M. Bennett in New York The photographic establishment of Harold M.
