My First Fifty Years in Motion Pictures
This is an intimate, chronological account of the author's experiences as a partner of the world's leading travelog exponent, Burton Holmes. Their first meeting is described in 1893 as well as their world-wide wanderings through the years up to 1917, and the problems encountered in devising camera, developing, projection, and film-printing equipment in those early days. The period from 1917 to date is concerned with the establishment of the Burton Holmes Films Laboratory, the theatrical release of a weekly travelog for six years, and the author's invention and manufacture of 35-mm and 16-mm printers and automatic light-control boards.
