E. B. Du Par, A. S. C.

There are presented this month the photographic biographies of E. B. Du Par and John Stumar, A. S. C. members, who are recognized in the world of cinematography as master camera artists.

E. B. Du Par has a long line of photographic achievements to his credit, though he is still young and handsome enough, if he could ever be induced to desert the camera, to be a very romantic leading man.

For two years he photographed numerous successful Sennett [Mack Sennett] comedies. Then followed a three-year affiliation with the Fox [William Fox] studios in Hollywood, where he demonstrated his versatility in imbuing notable comedies and dramas with photographic excellence.

For the past two years Du Par’s genius has been radiating in Warner Brothers’ productions, among them being Little Heroes of the Street, From Rags to Riches, The Beautiful and Damned, The Little Church Around the Corner, The Printer’s Devil, and “Where the Law Ends.”
