 T don't care for any fussing on my birthday" he said. 'I will not alter my daily routine in any way"
 This year also marked the fiftieth anniversary of MT. Eastman's first invention and the fortieth anniver- sary of the motion picture. In 1889 Thomas A. Edison invented the kinetoscope. the operation of which was made possible by the Eastman transparent flexible film.
