Edward A. Kull — Little Close-Ups of the A. S. C. (1922) 🇺🇸
Edward Kull, A. S. C, undoubtedly has a biography — most people have — but Edward is another one of the modest men who shrink from the public prints and weep tears of grief when they see their names emblazoned on the screen, the printed page, or the festive billboard.
Some day Edward and his kind will wake up to realize that printers’ ink is the never failing reservoir of enchantment — the Aladdin’s Lamp that makes fortunes over night and the good fairy that brings all things to them who work well and patiently.
Well, anyway, we are glad Mr. Kull’s failure to kick in with a biographical sketch of his cinematic career gave us this opportunity to pay a tribute to printer’s ink while we wait for the opportunity to catch him, rope, hog-tie and brand him and give him the third degree to drag from him the secrets of his past.
About all we can tell you of Edward Kull is that his name is a familiar one on the American screen, always identified with worth while productions and always to the honor of the profession and the A. S. C.
He [Edward A. Kull] is now directing serials at Universal. He staged “The Vanishing Dagger” in eighteen episodes and is now directing “The Queen of Diamonds” a serial in eighteen episodes featuring Eileen Sedgwick.

L. Guy Wilky — Little Close-Ups of the A. S. C. (1922) 🇺🇸
L. Guy Wilky, A. S. C, began his career as a cinematographer with the old Lubin company in the days when Lubin, Kalem, Selig and Essanay were names to conjure with in the movie world.
L. Guy’s first work was under direction of Romaine Fielding, a director who knew his business in those early days, and with whom Mr. Wilky remained during the three years he spent at the Lubin studio. He went to the American at Santa Barbara after leaving Lubin and remained there one year during which time he photographed Westerns which were among the best of that time.
Thos. H. Ince [Thomas H. Ince] sent for Mr. Wilky and he joined on at Inceville for three pictures featuring Enid Bennett. They were “Her Mother Instinct,” “The Girl Glory,” “Free and Equal.” His next engagement was with Warren Kerrigan whom he photographed in “A Man’s Man” and “The Turn of a Card,” two of Kerrigan’s best pictures.
Mr. Wilky was with Louise Glaum for one year. Among the pictures he photographed for her were “An Alien Enemy,” “A Law Unto Herself,” “Shackled,” “The Goddess of Lost Lake.” Following this he went to Bessie Barriscale for “Two Gun Betty,” “A Trick of Fate,” “Josslyn’s Wife’ ‘and “The Woman Michael Married.” He left this connection to accept a berth at Lasky’s where he has been chief cinematographer for William De Mille ever since. Some of his best known Paramount releases are “The Tree of Knowledge” with Robert Warwick; “Jack Straw” also with Warwick; “Midsummer Madness,” “The Lost Romance,” “What Every Woman Knows,” “The Prince Chap” with Tom Meighan [Thomas Meighan], “Conrad in Quest of his Youth,” etc.
If you ask Mr. Wilky what, in his estimation, is the best picture he ever shot, he’ll tell you it was the picture of his six months’ old baby.
