Twenty-two AMERICAN CI N EM AT OG R A PHER May. 1926 Frank B. Good, A. S. C, Films Special Film on Mexican Soil Frank B. Good, A. S. C, has returned to Hollywood from Mexico and Lower California, where he photographed a special film which was given a place in the governmental archives of Abelardo L. Rodriguez, governor of Baja, California. Good worked in conjunction with Col. Alexandre) Pelligren, personal aide to Gov. Rodriguez, and with M. H. Newman of Hollywood. By special permission from the government, Good filmed the governor's magnificent summer palace as well as the schools, hospitals, and the hardware and fishing industries in various Mexican towns, including Tijuana, Mexicali and Ensenada. The A. S. C. member covered the entire assignment without the aid of artificial lights and obtained excellent results which he attributes in no small degree to the Du Pont-Pathe super-speed stock which he reports he used exclusively.
