...done. Why wait?'' Born in Waterville, N. Y. in 1854, he started Eastman Dry Plate Co. in Rochester in 1880. First man to realize the possibilities of amateur as opposed to professional photography, he devoted himself to making cameras simple, handy, foolproof. The first Kodak appeared in 1888, contained film for 100 pictures which, when taken, were sent back (camera & all) to the Kodak factory for development. Hence the famed slogan: "You press the button. We do the rest." The development of a flexible, transparent photographic film in 1889 coincided with Thomas Alva Edison's early cinema experiments. Edison bought...

When the new film began with the playing of a Toccata and Fugue of Bach and set the key beautifully for what was sistently imaginative telling of an im-to follow, this reviewer hoped for a conaginative story. But no; before long, sandwiched in between the most admirable scenes in the London fog, there had to be a lot of silly dialogue and a wholly gratuitous love affair. Mr. March, after rattling the locks of old doors so splendidly, had to rattle the bones of old melodrama with such observations as "I give you up because I love...
