June, 1934 The INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER Twenty-one KODAK HONORS BUILDERS Eastman Company Elects President Stuber Chairman and Sends F. W. Lovejoy To Presidency F. W. Lovejoy William C. Stuber The Eastman Kodak Company has a new president, Frank W. Lovejoy, who recently succeeded William G. Stuber when Mr. Stuber was elected chairman of the board of directors to fill the vacancy existing since George Eastman's death. Mr. Lovejoy has been associated with Kodak for 37 years. Three years after his graduation in chemical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology he came to Kodak Park as superintendent of the film department. In 1900 he became manager of the Kodak Park Works, in 1906 general manger of manufacturing departments, in 1919 vice-president, and in 1925, when Mr. Eastman relinquished active management of the Kodak Company, general manager. As president, Mr. Lovejoy retains the duties of general manager. Mr. Stuber resigned the presidency, with its more active administrative duties, two days after his seventieth birthday. Along with his functioning as chairman, he will continue to watch the quality of the company's photosensitive products, his specialty since he joined the Eastman organization in 1894. Mr. Stuber came to Rochester from Louisville, Kentucky, where he was a successful professional photographer. His original charge with Kodak was dry-plate manufacture. Shortly after he had assumed that work, he took charge of making the sensitive emulsion for films, NEW BOOK FOR THE CINEMATOCRAPHER MOVIE MAKING MADE EASY By William J. Shannon 219 Pages — 36 Illustrations Moorfield & Shannon, Nutley, New Jersey The title of this book is well chosen, because the author has approached the question of movie making in a simple and practical manner. One gets the feeling of wanting to get to work without delay for like the books of Dan Beard that told how to make tree houses, caves and all manner of boyhood contraptions, this book tells how to build many fascinating things that have to do with movie making. The glamor is all there. For instance, mention is made of one enterprising enthusiast who built a "theatre" in the cellar, boasting such refinements as a "procenium arch resplendent in mottled gold" and "glimmering drapes of soft rayon." The latter served a double purpose, acting also as a screen to hide the heater and the wash tubs. In fact, the whole book deals largely with the practical question of ivhat to do from the time the camera is selected until the finished picture is shown on the screen and for this reason it is bound to make a hit with boys young and old who, like Tom Sawyer, are showmen at heart. on the quality of which depended the prosperity of the company. Mr. Stuber was above all an expert in photographic quality, and his skill in that field supplemented Mr. Eastman's ability as an organizer and an executive. The rapid growth of the company was a result of that association, depending as it did on the continuous improvement in the quality of the Kodak products and on the developments necessary to adapt those products to the great variety of uses to which they are now put. In 1918 Mr. Stuber assumed charge of all the sensitive materials made by the company, adding the production of photographic papers to that of films and plates. In 1919 he became vice-president in charge of photographic quality. Upon the retirement of Mr. Eastman from the presidency, in 1925, Mr. Stuber was elected to succeed the founder as president. In that position he has led the company through the difficult problems that have confronted it, both in its domestic trade and in its international trade ; but at the same time he has continued to take a special interest in the quality of the sensitive materials.
