44 THAT MARVEL— THE MOVIE the energy and far-sightedness of Richard G. Hollaman, head of the Eden Musee, of New York, the Lumiere apparatus, in the Fall of 1896, created something of a sensation in the American metropolis. To the Eden Musee, known to fame for its presentation of historic personages of the past, belongs the honor of making the path to glory easy to the celebrities of to-day. Fame was now to discard stuffed effigies as a reward for greatness to use the screen to bring the exalted of the earth down to the masses. The movie had been finally launched upon a career that was to lead it toward heights from which to-day it can see a future that, unless the human race wantonly commits hari-kari, will be unimaginably glorious.
