CAMERAMEN GO ALOFT
FOR “LEGION OF THE CONDEMNED” William Wellman, the youthful director of Paramount’s air epic, “Wings," formed, during the production of that picture, a group of flying cameramen whom he trained in the new art. When starting on the second air picture for Paramount, “The Legion of the Condemned,” which will be released shortly in New Zealand, he sent these men into the air for an average of three hours each day, working out new positions and camera angles which could be used in the actual filming of the picture. Their pilots were aces of both sides who had fought in the Great War and were thus able to stage and manoeuvre their air battles with a realism born of actual experience. Fay Wray and Gary Cooper are cofeatured in the production.
