Little Close-Ups of the A. S. C. (1922) 🇺🇸

In these little sketches of the members of the A. S. C., no attempt has been made to give more than a casual glance at the records of the men.

Every member is worth many pages of space, but lack of data, time and room make such treatment impossible.

In subsequent issues of The American Cinematographer the careers of the members will be printed at length when justice will be done to all.

• Robert S. Doran
• William Fildew
• Ross G. Fisher
• George W. Hill
• Sam Landers
• Kenneth G. MacLean
• Roy F. Overbaugh
• Homer A. Scott
• R. W. Walters

Like the “Ninety and nine that safely lay in the shelter of the fold,” all the other members of the A. S. C, save these nine alone, are represented by brief biographical sketches in this number of The American Cinematographer, but like the one lost sheep “in the hills away, far from the gates of gold,” these nine left no available data in the archives of the Society from which the scribe could glean sufficient material for a sketch. However, it is enough to say that every name here is familiar to the fans of the whole wide world who go to see American pictures, and each man is not only an honor to his profession and a valued member of the American Society of Cinematographers, but is an artist in his line and has to his credit many notable cinematic productions.

The biographies of these cinematographers will appear in subsequent numbers of American Cinematographer.
