Case Files: Francis Jenkins (Motion Picture)

Case File Catalog Summary

"The man who will receive tonight these awards for a useful invention, cunningly conceived and skillfully executed, has probably done more to perfect the Moving Picture Machine and to widen its field of usefulness than any other. This simple statement should be sufficient to excite in us a feeling of gratitude to him who has so largely contributed to our amusement and education by materially assisting in bringing the Moving Picture Machine to its present high state of development."
