Arthur A. Cadwell (often credited as A.A. Caldwell) was an American cinematographer and race car driver who worked in Hollywood in the 1910s and 1920s.[1] [2]
Arthur was born Indianapolis, Indiana, to Ethan Cadwell and Lida Haney. He married actress Florence Vincent; the pair had a son, Arthur Jr., who would become a child actor.
He began shooting films around 1913, working primarily with Thanhauser and then the California Motion Picture Company during those early years.[3] During this decade, he was also known for racing cars in Southern California.
In 1925, he and writer/director Hamilton Smith banded together to launch the Asheville Motion Pictures Corporation with the intent of developing a film industry in North Carolina.[4] Little seems to have come from this venture.
