THEY MADE MOTION PICTURES POSSIBLE 1 WO Americans of our own times — great inventors, both — deserve more than anyone else the credit of making possible the motion picture as we know it today. The theory itself — that a series of differing postures when flashed before the eye would give an illusion of motion — is very old. For many years devices existed for showing successions of pictures which seemed to move. But only one person at a time could view these. Mr. Edison perfected and patented a camera for the taking of photographs so rapidly that the various phases of motion might be recorded. But he had no plate or film which properly could receive the impressions. Mr. Eastman perfected the continuous flexible ribbon of celluloid coated with sensitive emulsion, and the combination of this with the Edison camera provided the means of taking the motion pictures which we now all enjoy.
