By JACK W n Writer and vacationing Robbin Coons) pt. 6.—Billy Hamilton, the film editor “Too Many Girls.” really started me on this train of memori of that other World W; I met him on the set the other day. Billy’s the fellow who proved that he was a great film editor, even in those days, by 1g pieces of film so that when he was finished he had General Pershing drilling an awkward squad. And there were Billy Williams, the special effects photogra- pher; Lewis Milestone, Richard Walls and others on the lot to help me forget the horrors of the present war in nostalgic memories of the other. Billy Williams got lost when the Germans retreated in the first war. He was the only American in Luxembourg when the Germans poured through the city in their rout. He climbed into a window to film their retreat but was so excited he cranked the camera too fast. The result was slow motion on the screen the panicky Germans floated like elves through the streets. (Reminiscing f HOLLYWCOD, Cal on assen Before the war I was an assistant cameraman in Holly- wood. When they couldn't find another cameraman they'd let me grind an extra camera. When the war broke out I enlisted in the infantry and served with a tough outfit on the border. Just to be funny, I noted on my personnel card that I had been frst cameraman on “The Birth of a Nation” and other big pic- tures. In two weeks I was transferred to the school of military cinematography at Columbia University, New York. There I reported to a lieutenant who sat at his desk with his hat down PERCY’S CAFE OPEN ALL NIGHT [ ] sTopP at PERCY’S ANY TIME for Dinners or Light Lunches that all Juneau is talking about. TRY OUR FOUN- TAIN, TOO! over his eyes. “Corporal Wagner,” he said, “did you photograph ‘Birth of a Nation™?” “Yes, ir,” T answered brazenly. (Billy Bitzer had, really.) The officer looked up and I saw it was Victor Fleming, whose assistant I} been! £oon we ween to France and among those in my unit were Billy Hamilton, Billy Williams, Ernest Schoedsack and Wesley Ruggles. Until the Armistice we were assigned to different divisions to photograph shells and bullets in action. 1 After the Armistice we were sent to Paris where we learned .Sherman was wrong, in part at least. For want of something better to do we. made a comedy in which I make up to leok like Chaplin. George Marshall, who recently made “Destry Rides \¢ and ‘The Ghost-Breakers.” directed it. For no sensible reason, we went to Paris (o film location scenes in the Place de la Concorde. Within minutes, 20,000 milling Frenchmen had gathered, yelling “Charlot! Charlot " thinking the alleged com- edian really was Chaplain. I barely escaped being torn limb from limb by the affectionate Frenchmen. When Gene: Pershing dedicated a cemetery at Suresnes, I, was assigned to photograph the event with an old, worn out camera which made a horrible noise when it was cranked. Gen- eral Pershing glared at me every time I cranked it so I waited until he paused to turn a page, to get the footage T had been ordered to shoot. When that picture was shown on the screen it was nothing but a series of shots'showing Pershing turning pages. But we had one privilage no other enlisted men enjoyed. We could tell generals whit to do and where to go — for the cameral! %) v ( | ber 2, !saie at J. B. Burford & Co.
