The Front Cover
The front cover this month shows the making of the rain sequence from the Frank Capra-Warner Bros, production, "Meet John Doe." We can't find Director of Photography George Barnes, A.S.C, but Director Capra (standing) and Operative Cinematographer Irving Rosenberg can be seen riding the boom. Note sprinklers used to provide the "rain." Still by Mack Elliott.
