Del Andrews

Still from the American western film The Yellow Back (1926) with Fred Humes putting on theatrical makeup under the direction of director Del Andrews, on page 2170 of the May 8, 1926 Motion Picture News. The black and white film stock of the period recorded colors unnaturally, so care had to be taken with makeup to provide a good result.
