Working alone in his Newark, N. J., laboratory Frederick T. O'Grady, inventor in his late 30's, produced a system of color cinemagraphy that has some advantages over the system recently worked out by the vast Eastman laboratories...

For Frank Ernest Gannett, long a power in Rochester by virtue of his evening paper, the Times-Union, rose to the ranks of the city's greatest, stood close beside Cameraman Eastman, when he went last week to his bankers and borrowed most or all of $3,500,000 to buy the Democrat and Chronicle...
