' cornerstone for a new 11:m exchange
in New York' was a gray-haired man
' who has the distinction of being the
first man to make and operate a p'rao
tical projector for showing photo-
graphic films of moving pictures. The
mans name is Jean A. Leroy. He is
a machinist and inot a very prosper-
ous
rosperous one. Yet he practically invented
tics process on which rests an Indus-
try that employs hundreds of thous-
ands of persons, turns over a great
many million dollars a year and.has
made fortunes for no one knows how
many picture producers, directors,
asters and theatre -owners, Mr. Leroy
ran the first strips of film through his
projector as long ago as 1894; but he
failed to get the machine patented and
has made little or nothing out of it.

Perhaps the world's oddest mail car-
rier is the Dane who plies between the
