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

George Schneiderman, A. S. C, has had charge of the great studio of the William Fox Company ever since the first camera began to purr on the Fox West Coast studio lot and he is there yet.

Mr. Schneiderman has handled every big production turned out by the Fox West Coast studio laboratories and this means such elaborate cinema spectacles as Salomé, Cleopatra, Carmen, A Fool There Was, all with Theda Bara; A Tale of Two Cities, “Les Misérables,” A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur’s Court, Over the Hill, Sheba and many others.

In Sheba the laboratory work was not less notable than the cinematography for there were tints and tones in places that largely added to the art values of the film.

But Mr. Schneiderman loves the camera and, notwithstanding his manifold duties in the laboratory, he finds time to shoot an occasional picture.

“The Hell Ship” with Madlaine Traverse; “Just Pals,” “Colorado Pluck,” “Sunset Sprague” and The Fast Mail, with Buck Jones; “Molly and I,” “Love’s Harvest,” “The Little Wanderer,” “Jackie,” “Queenie,” “The Flame of Youth,” all with Shirley Mason; “Bare Knuckles,” “The Saw Comes to Singing River,” “Children of the Night,” with William Russell, are examples of Mr. Schneiderman’s latest camera work.

The subject of this little sketch came from a family of artists and scientists and Mr. Schneiderman has joined the two in his profession, for the man skilled in all branches of photography must be both an artist and scientist.
