Charles Schoenbaum

"[8] He was frequently a cinematographer for Cecil B. DeMille, Louis B. Mayer, Jesse Lasky, and his good friend Victor Fleming.

"[14] When director Rouben Mamoulian capriciously fired Oscar-winning cinematographer Charles Rosher from Summer Holiday (1948), he replaced him with Schoenbaum.

[15] Cinematographer Karl Brown called Schoenbaum one of the "notable studio photographers," and interviewed him for a Photoplay article on technique.

[16] His ongoing pictures and past work were often mentioned in the "In Camerafornia" column or other sections of the trade magazine The American Cinematographer.

"[18] [19] He was also frequently uncredited on films when he was brought in on other people's projects to help fix problems.

[25] Charles Edgar Schoenbaum is buried at Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, California.

On the set of The Heritage of the Desert in 1924. Schoenbaum is probably wearing a cap at center right, with one hand in his pocket and the other on the camera.
