544 ARTHUR S. NEWMAN MR. RAYMOND: I would like to pay a tribute to Mr. Newman's memory, for he has covered the ground very well, but there are one or two things which ought to be corrected. Regarding the first show, the first place in London where Lumiere's first machine was exhibited as a commercial proposition was at the Polytechnic. Mr. Newman mentioned Chard's machine. He had seen the mechanism of Lumiere and went away and instead of having one hole per picture he used four holes. He remarked that some of the old showmen made a lot of money; that is flatly wrong. There might have been one or two who did, but most of them lost money. When we got the first rotary projector, that was the first thing that was very good for the exhibitor. Then America sent us over the cowboy films and we were able to make money.
