Norbert F. Brodin, A. S. C, is a product of the Los Angeles Polytechnic High School, which proves that the said L. A. P. H. C. is quite some school, for Norbert has been a success ever since they handed him his sheepskin.

It was six years ago that Mr. Brodin turned his talents to the cinematographic art, his first experience being at Columbia University, New York, where he was when the draft gently but firmly ushered him into the photographic division of the United States army.

After leaving the army he made connection with Goldwyn [Samuel Goldwyn], his first feature picture being Gay Lord Quex. This picture fixed young Mr. Brodin in his job, and there followed quickly Going Some, a Rex Beach–Goldwyn, Toby’s Bow, The Great Accident, Officer 666, Stop Thief, all starring Tom Moore; five Edgar comedies; A Tale of Two Worlds, The Grim ComedianThe Man from Lost River, The Sin Flood, Grand Larceny, A Blind Bargain, “Remembrance, the last a Rupert Hughes production.

Mr. Brodin’s [Norbert Brodine] succes at such an early age gives promise of a career of great brilliance and usefulness in his chosen profession.
