Perry Sherman Leaves for Hawthorne This Morning to Make Pictures of Beginning of Federal Work.
To "shoot" movies of the starting of building activities in the construction of the big U. S. government arsenal to be located at Hawthorne, Perry Sherman, Las Vegas movie man, plans to leave this morning for the northern community with his equipment.
Sherman will take motion picture shots for International Newsreel, with which he has had a commission for the past 18 years, and they will be used by the quartermaster's department of the federal government, Sherman said yesterday.
Work on construction of bunk houses and other subsidiary buildings will be commenced this week, it was stated. Sherman expects to remain in Hawthorne for possibly a week, and promised to send the Age an authentic report of conditions there.
T. A. Williams, of Houston, will accompany Sherman to Hawthorne.
Sherman, who installed the talkie equipment at El Portal, and who is now an independent motion picture man, has been spending some time within the last few days photographing scenic and industrial views around Las Vegas and dam site, including real estate subdivisions, public buildings, and other scenes which will have advertising value.
Some of these scenes will be used by Blackland's road show, traveling north and east, according to Sherman, who was the originator of this show which features Texas.
