Who's Who on the Screen J. STUART BLACKTON Commodore J. Stuart Blackton, a pioneer in the film industry, was born in Sheffield, England, in 1875. Shortly after he matriculated at Eton, his family re- moved to New York City and the Commodore attended New York University, from which he was graduated. His first professional work was as a newspaper artist and in 1897 he left that field to enter the motion picture industry. In 1900 he and his associates founded the Vitagraph Company. He also founded the first Motion Pic- ture periodical for the motion picture fan and organized the Motion Picture Board of Trade in 1915and was its first president.
