"The Rochester Cinema Club has been formally organized and has had two meetings. Sixty-nince members were present at the last meeting where Dr. C. E. K. Mees, scientist of the Eastman Kodak laboratories, lectured on "The Formation of the Photographic Image," using motion pictures made at Kodak Park illustrating by microscopic photography the actual turning of gray particles of photographic sensitized material to black in the developing process. This is the first time such a film has been shown. Hey Hay, the second release of the Motion Picture Club of the Oranges, was screened before the club. In preparation for photoplay production, an exhibition of unusual professional films is to be given soon. The officers of this club are George Eastman, honorary president; Dr. C. E. K. Mees, president; Mrs. Helen Probst Abbott, vice-president, and George W. McBride, secretary-treasurer. (Gale 165)
