SMPE— SAMUEL L. WARNER MEMORIAL AWARD FOR 1949 EACH YEAR THE SOCIETY has the privilege of presenting the Samuel L. Warner Memorial Award to an engineer selected by! the Society for outstanding technical work in the field of sound! motion pictures. This award was established by the Warner] brothers in memory of their brother Samuel L. Warner, who was a pioneer in the production of sound motion pictures. This year the award was presented to Ralph M. Evans on October 12, 1949, for "his outstanding work in color motion picture films and related subjects." Mr. Evans, a Fellow of the Society, is superintendent in charge of the Color Control Department at the Eastman Kodak Company, where he has served in this capacity since the formation of the department in 1946. The function of the department is to maintain quality control orl all color photographic processes at the Eastman Kodak Company and to carry on development work on these processes after their release to the public. Prior to the organization of the Color Control Department, Mr. Evans was in the Research Laboratories of the Eastman Kodak Company in charge of the development of color photographic processes. As part of this work he conducted a considerable amount of research on visual effects in photography, and this work is continuing under his direction. Mr. Evans first came to Eastman Kodak in 1928. Later he was away from the Company for six years, employed by the Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation and DeLuxe Laboratories. This; time was spent on color photography and control and development work in black-and-white motion picture photography. RALPH M. EVANS
