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

Jackson J. Rose, A. S. C, now filming “With Stanley in Africa” at Universal, has had nineteen years” experience in every branch of photographic work including, of course, newspaper, commercial, portrait, photoengraving, photographic chemistry, and ten years of both still and motion picture laboratory practice.

Mr. Rose started on his cinematographic journey with Essanay, at Chicago, shooting one, two and three reelers, of which he filmed more than two hundred and fifty. When the feature was instituted he was assigned to Bryant Washburn with whom he made the famous Skinner pictures.

Francis X. Bushman was his next assignment and with this star, supported by Beverly Bayne, he filmed “The Slim Princess,” “Graustark,” “One Wonderful Night,” “The Plum Tree,” “The Isle of Love,” “Under Royal Patronage,” “The Crimson Wing.” He did “The Discard” for Harry Beaumont and filmed Richard Travers in three features, the best known being “Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines.”

His last assignment at Essanay was Charley Chaplin [Charles Chaplin] in “His New Job” and then he took his camera to Commonwealth, Apex, Selig, Rothacker, International, in succession, and then came west to join the staff at Metro. Here Mr. Rose photographed Mitchell Lewis in “Burning Daylight” and “The Mutiny of the Elsinore;” and “The Star Rover” with Courtney Foote. With May Allison he photographed “The Marriage of William Ashe,” “Extravagance,” “Big Game” and “The Last Card.”

Mr. Rose [Jackson Rose] was the first cameraman attached to a motion picture studio to use a Bell and Howell camera. He is an inventor of appliances for motion cameras and is now perfecting a device to develop and test film in the field.
