ANNIVERSARY
OF PRINTING

finally reached Morocco in the
twelfth century. Three mighty re-
ligions, Buddhism, Mohammedism,
and Nestorianism, helped the
spread of paper and also delayed
its arrival in the western world.
Papermaking first fell into Eu-
ropean hands by conquest when
the ancient kinkdom of Aragon
captured the Moorish kingdom Of
Valencia, in Spain, about the year
1150. Even after that, the Ara
gonians allowed papermaking to
remain in the hands of infidels, be-
cause of the value of the export
trade. The earliest paper mill in
Christiandom was erected at Fab
riano, in Italy, still an important
paper manufacturing center, about
the year 1910. BY 1348 paper was
being manufactured in France and
in 1890 papermaking was introduc-
ed into Germany. 1t was fatefully
fortunate that few years prior
to the start of Gutenberg's expert
ments with printing at Strasbourg
in 1895, a paper mill had been
erected there. Papermaking was
not introduced into England, the
American colonial source of supply
before the establishment of the
Rittenhouse mill, until the end of
the fifteenth century.
Joint Celebrations
Paper manufacturers through
out the United States, its posses
sions and Canada, are joining the
International Association of Print
ing House Craftsmen and other
graphic arts groups during 1910 in
joint city-wide celebrations honor
ing the Anniversary Of the estab-
lishment of Americas first paper
mill and the 500th Anniversary of
Gutenberg's invention of printing.
In principle, the process Of pap
ermaking differs little today, ex-
cept for improvements in machin-
cry and processes to increase pro-
duction, from the methods employ
ed by the early Chinese papermak-
ers.

Smith Good Enough
For This Starlet

Hollywood has finally shattered
one of its ancient traditions. There
is to be an actress by the name Of
Smith on studio roster.
Ever since Gladys Smith Of Canada
changed her name to Mary Pickford,
actresses have avoided it. OF course,
there's Kate Smith, whose film ap-
pearances have been brief. And
Queenie Smith flashed across the
cinematic sky. There are few male
actors by the name Of Smith, and
there are Smiths who are writer's,
directors, executives and camera
men. But no actresses named Smith.
Warner Bros. Studio has one now.
