A New Camera for Screen News Cinematographers

J. H. McNabb

There is probably no position in the motion picture industry that offers more trying and hazardous situations than that of the news cinematographer. His exploits in obtaining current events of the day in pictures are replete with thrills and adventures that would in themselves make suitable material for an ideal adventure photoplay. While a considerable part of the current screen news material is made by free lancers and is gathered from all corners of the globe, many of the larger screen news companies employ a trained corps of cinematographers stationed at important cities throughout the country, whose major duty is to scoop an important event or item of news interest.
