The phenomenal development of the Moving
Picture business is interesting subject
When the worlds fair was held in Chicago NO
moving pictures had ever been projected upon
screen. 1t was while the inventor was visit
Ing the fair that the idea conceived. The
first public exhibition was given by Mr.. Armat
at the Atlanta exposition in 1895. Shortly
thereafter Roster & Balls of New York gave
the first exhibition in a theater under Mr..
Armat's personal supervision. The New York
papers were full Of the exploit, and the next
morning the New York Herald gave the greater
part of page, with u large three column Illus
tration to an article fully descriptive of the
wonderful achievement. Shortly before this
exhibition Mr.. Armat solicited by his
agents, Messrs. Raft & Cannon Of New York.
to allow the use Of Mr.. Edison's name in con-
nection with Mr.. Armat's machine. They
thought Mr.. Edison's prestige would enable
them to make quicker success of the bust
ness. Mr. Armat consented and a contract was
entered into with Mr.. Edison under which he
made 100 machines which were exact dupli-
Gates OF Mr.. Armats model. In this way they
became known at first as Edson's Vitascopes.
But Mr.. Edison does not single patent
on projecting machines. did he ever pro-
duce one, except above described; and the
recent sweeping decision in Mr.. Armat's favor
leaves Mr.. Edison along with every other
manufacturer. without any right to manufac-
ture or deal in the projecting machines which
he has heretofore made.
The above was the start Within a short time
after that 100000 in cash had been paid in as
license fees for the Of Mr. Armat's ma
chimes. This rapidly growing business was i'm
mediately broken up by infringing machines
which would, of course, not respect Mr.
Armat's licenses; and not until he obtained
