Ira H. Morgan — Little Close-Ups of the A. S. C. (1922) 🇺🇸

Ira H. Morgan, A. S. C, began work in the movie game in 1907, but has been a cinematographer only since 1911. He has had laboratory experience and is generally well equipped to shine as one of “the men who make motion pictures.”

We find Mr. Morgan with the American Film Company at Santa Barbara, seven years ago, where he helped make famous the old stars of the Mutual program. He spent two years and a half with Essanay at Niles, California, filming Broncho Billy [Gilbert M. “Broncho Billy” Anderson] westerns before he went to the American and it was with Essanay that he equipped himself for the bigger work of the future. Mr. Morgan’s work during his one and one-half years with King Vidor Productions proclaimed him a master of the camera and this he amply demonstrated in the filming of “The Jack Knife Man,” “The Family Honor,” “Poor Relations,” “The Other Half.” Mr. Morgan’s more recent work has been with Cosmopolitan Productions in New York where he has photographed “Enchantment,” “Beauty’s Worth,” “Bride’s Play” and others starring Marion Davies and this star has never appeared to greater advantage than since she has been under the cinematographic artistry of Mr. Morgan.
