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.
