business has been SO phe-

the worlds seven wonders-not only
as = business proposition. but In its
scientific development OF photography.
Although several attempts at NOV
ing pictures had been made. the Edi-
son kaleidoscope. put on the market
in 1898. was the real beginning of the
moving picture industry. Inventions
and improvements followed each 9TH
er in rapid succession until the evolu-

the exhibition of the films became well
nigh perfect With this development
Of the industry and the excellence of
the pictures the number of patrons in
creased SO rapidly that hundreds of
movie halls seemed to spring up over
night and the average daily attend
ance in 1916 in each OF the cities Of
New York and Chicago is estimated
at more than 10000. The picture
makers soon found that It was a good
investment for their money and large
companies were formed for the pur-
