FOREWORD
ssss1
Ask almost anyone about the origins of the motion picture, and you’ll get a glib and automatic answer. It will include a fast, indefinite reference to Edison and Eastman and will move on, with more-or-less authentic nostalgia, to Mack Sennett, Fatty Arbuckle, D.W. Griffith and maybe a few others. With luck, one or two titles—The Great Train Robbery, for example—may creep in.
The fact is, most of us simply do not know much about it.
It is good, therefore, to take a long look at the people, the events, and the discoveries—accidental and otherwise—which combined, during the years of many centuries, to produce the motion picture as we know it today.
