FAMOUS INVENTOR COMES TO COLORADO SPRINGS AND WEDS YOUNG ORDWAY GIRL
G.M. Williamson, Who Invented Submarine Motion Pictures, Begins Honeymoon Here.
George M. Williamson, a young New Yorker, who married Miss Ruth McCann of
Ordway, Colo., in Colorado Springs last Wednesday, it has just been leaned, is
one of the famous Williamson brothers, perfectos of submarine motion
photography. Williamson and his bride went from here to Denver, where they will
remain until March when Williamson will go to the Bahamas to continue his
submarine research work, which has brought him fame and fortune.
Williamson's rise is one of the romances of the motion picture world. He
is the son of the inventor of the Williamson tube, a device for all kinds of
submarine work. He conceived the idea of utilizing his father's invention in
connection with underwater photography and went to Norfolk, where he and his
brother worked together.
PHOTOGRAPHED UNDER WATER
They evolved a plan whereby they could operate a motion picture camera at
great depth. They have taken successful photographs, by natural light, 150 feet
under water. The operator works at the bottom of the --- just as in a studio. By
------ sealed chamber filled with compressed air the pressure of 000 water on
the glass in front of the camera is removed, enabling the operator to work in
perfect safety.
The brothers did their experimental work in the Bahamas. They came back
with a series of films showing native divers plunging from their boats and
picking up coins and even battling with sharks. These films were first exhibited
at the Smithsonian institution and the National Press club in Washington. A
single demonstration before the scientists at the Smithsonian was sufficient to
establish the fame of the young inventors. Today they have a contract to take a
series of submarine dramas. The government is testing the Williamson device for
use in repairs of battleships and other submarine work.
BATTLES WITH SHARK
Williamson is intensely interested in the scientific side of his work and
intends to make his forthcoming pictures in the Bahamas transcend anything ever
taken in this line. The young men work together and on one occasion when a
fight with a shark was wanted and no native would volunteer, Williamson's
brother swam out and did battle while the inventor now in Denver took the
pictures.
Williamson's bride formerly lived in Denver and is a graduate of East
Denver High School and of Denver university. Her family now resides at Ordway.
