Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - August 08, 1949, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free Prog. Monday. August g. 1849 for years one of my favorite causes has been seeing that 4 an not Thomas Alva Edison was Given the Cre Dit Lor being the inventor of the first motion picture camera. The next edition of the encyclopaedia Britannica will credit William Friese Greene a photographer As being the Man who re ally started movies on their Way and i Hope that the encyclopaedia will also include some of the amazing facts about this most amazing of men. The career of Wiliam Friese Greene would if it were printed in a novel or shown on the screen be criticized As being too Fantas tic. William Friese Greene had an unhappy life. He was put in prison Lor debt his ideas were reviled and he died an unknown eccentric. Thus do we treat some of our great men. It seems a shame that More than 25 years after his death other people should be reap ing the fruits of Friese Green s labor simply because he was a trusting visionary who cared More Lor the idea of creating things than Lor the acquisition1 of Money. Friese Greene was a photographer in the Days when Glass plot i were used in the profession. He Felt that if he took 16 snapshots a second and moved them in rapid order he would be Able to have a Morie earners. However there was the problem of having some thin pliable to move through Hli machine. He solved this by making Ordinary paper in Cas Tor Oil to make it transparent. This was t too successful so he saw a Heap of the newly invented hot opaque material called celluloid. For months he and two assistants melted celluloid spread it thinly on Glass sheets coated with a sensitive emulsion. Then they Cut it in in 1889 he went to Hyde. Park with his new camera and too about 50 feet of moving traffic he developed the film and project it on the Wall. It worked. H was alone but he was so excite he ran out into the Street Grabbe policeman and dragged him int the House to witness the wonder not even dreamed of Mark you he used celluloid u the Days when it was not Dreame of for such purpose. He was the first Man to hit upon the idea o putting in the Little sprocket which Are now used to Preven the film slipping. Friese Green covered the windows of his shop with paper leaving Only a Little Hole to Peep through. He showed the films in this window and the passers by were so thrilled that they gathered in crowds. He dancing every night Roseland gardens admission Contu was ordered by the police to remove the thing because it stopped traffic. In june of 1889, Friese Greem wrote to Thomas Alva Edison in the United states. He gave a de tailed description of his camera and suggested it might be combined with Edison s phonograph to Mak talking pictures. Again you see the visionary who was 50 year ahead of his time Edison did even acknowledge Friese Greene. Letter but one of his assistants did he asked Friese Greene to sen drawings of the camera. He die and years patented in the United states but Noi in England a movie machine prison for debt by. This time Friese Greene had been put into prison for debt and was bankrupt. All through his life he met poverty and Rebuff of this kind. When he got out of prison he invented a camera for taking movies in natural color in a recent talk on the . In England Bay Allister told of some of Friese Greene s other inventions. This remark Able Man took out in All More than 70 patents. In his labor Atory he Hung models of an Airship and an air plane which he patented Long before Bleriot flew the English Channel. On the floor he had a complicated set of railway lines Over which moved a Model train controlled from another room by wireless beam. He also had an apparatus which was an Early version of television. But i think the Saddest and most disgraceful thing about Wil Liam Friese Greene was his death. In the Early 1920 s a Public meet ing was held in London to discuss the precarious state of British films which were being pushed right off the Market by the Holly Wood product. To this meeting came some of the More important of the film magnates of the Day and they Drew up to the Hall in expensive limousines. On foot and now a very old William Friese Greene. Shabby and unknown he got up from the Back of the Hall and made a speech in which he advocated some of the measures which were later taken by Arthur rank and sir Alexander Korda. During Hie latter part of the speech he dropped dead of a heart attack and was re moved from the spot in a policeman s Barrow. Everybody said poor old Man. Who was who was he indeed i Hope As the years go on that his memory will become stronger. He was neglected when he most needed help but we can at least pay tribute to my now.
