cHAPTER YIII

Almost Immediately Robert w.
Paul's manufacture Of the Edison
microscope, made possible by the
American inventors neglect to protect
his device by an English patent, de-
yeloped into q tremendous business
venture. However. it was far from
being all smooth sailing. 1t had its
ups and downs and more than once
was on the thin edge of failure. 1t
was probably these vicissitudes that
cooled the ardor of the two Greeks
who first carried the kaleidoscope to
England In any event they made an
early exit and Paul occupied the stage
by himself
The greatest problem that Paul had
to face. even after he had developed
world market for his machines,
reaching even TO New Zealand, Japan
and South America. was that of film
supply. For this he was dependent
entirely on the output of BLACK Ma
ria, the fantastic name by which
Edison's first crude motion picture
studio was known.
Finally two agents of this first Am
erican producer, who had secured the
exclusive control of both his kineto-
scope and his film for the European
market, conceived what they believed
to be brilliant idea. They would OBJ
viate the neglected English patent pro-
cedure by refusing to sell films for
any machine other than that Of Edi-
sons own make.
