The INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER
September, 1933
PIONEER GOES TO HIS LONG HOME
The sudden death of Mr. Archibald H. Van Guysling at his home in Los Angeles, California, August 6, from heart attack removes one of the early outstanding figures in the moving picture industry of Southern California.
Born in Albany, New York, January 10, 1871, he was a descendent of the fifth generation of Elias Van Guysling who arrived in New Amsterdam April 15, 1660, from Zealand, Holland, one of the early Patroons of New York City.
He arrived in Los Angeles in March, 1893, and later located with his family here. In 1904, upon the advice of his brother, Mr. G. E. Van Guysling, who at the time was general manager of the old Biograph Company, at 11 East 14th Street, New York City, he went east, spending a year there in familiarizing himself with the moving picture industry. Returning to Los Angeles he became associated with Mr. Otis M. Gove, a photographer of outstanding ability, and they opened a branch at 2623 West Pico Street, Los Angeles, under the name of the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company.
The first moving picture made on the West Coast for general exhibition service they shot June 10, 1906, at Plummer's Rancho in Colegrove at Santa Monica
Boulevard and Vista Streets in the present Hollywood, this occasion being the annual field day of the Vaquero Club of which Mr. Van Guysling was a member. This event, in greater details, presenting titles of moving pictures and productions with names of parties participating, etc., was covered in THE INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER of June, 1932.
Mr. Van Guysling retired from active business some years ago to devote his last years to his family circle. He was a member of the Holland Society of New York, Golden State Lodge No. 358 F. & A. M., Los Angeles Consistory S. R. 32. His funeral, held August 8 at Pierce Brothers' Mortuary, under auspices of the Masons, was largely attended ; burial in his family lot at Inglewood Park Cemetery. Deceased left wife, two daughters and a son, all married, to mourn his loss.
DO YOU KNOW
[Back Flow from Out of Focus)
That this department supports the N. R. A. and does not hire child labor; though at times it may seem as if a child were writing it.
That CHUCK GEISSLER donates the following: "Hallejuha! I'm a dime again," as sung by the dollar.
That I have been in a jurisdictional dispute and have been locked out since last September.
That I wonder if anyone sent for the free, week's trial of Normalettes.
