Austin Fay and Arthur Higgins

Arthur Higgins was born on 25 October 1891 in Hobart, the youngest of three brothers, after Ernest and Tasman, with whom he founded a film-shooting company. Launched by Raymond Longford, he became one of the great cinematographers of Australian silent cinema, known for his trick effects, and lit some forty feature films. He directed only two, a racecourse drama in 1928, now lost, and this film of 1930, with Austin Fay, who directed its sound sequences. He then worked as a cinematographer for the Cinesound studio, until 1946.
