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

John Arnold, A. S. C. is too modest to talk about himself, and as Viola Dana is away making personal appearances very little of John’s past life could be learned.

Miss Dana is always ready to give a boost to her coworkers and if you ask her she’ll tell you that there is only one cameraman in the world and that he is John Arnold.

Since the day the charming Viola stepped on the lot at Metro John Arnold was assigned her as cameraman and no other cinematographer has ever shot a scene of a Dana picture since that day. Among those are “Cinderella’s Twin,” “Blackmail,” “The Willow Tree,” “Dangerous to Men,” “The Chorus Girl’s Romance,” “The Off-Shore Pirate,” “Home Stuff,” “The Match Breaker,” “Life’s Darn Funny,” etc.

John Arnold is one of those consistently good operators who is sure of himself at all times and who always gets a picture no matter what the conditions. He is a member of the Board of Governors of the A. S. C. and a valued member of the organization.
