From The Indianapolis Sun, Tuesday, April 7, 1914: Tomlinson Hall has been converted into a true art gallery for the Eastman Kodak Company’s touring exhibition of amateur photography from all over the world that opened last evening. The show is the largest collection of amateur work ever assembled and is a revelation of what may be done with a Kodak. It contains 505 individual exhibits of enlarged pictures depicting sport, travel, and adventure; the display of child studies is especially large and interesting. Thousands of lantern slides, made from amateur negatives, will be shown in connection with a series of popular travelogues given by Dr. William Torrence Stuchell. A special feature of the Kodak exhibition is a moving picture story of a “Honeymoon Journey.” Free admission tickets may be had for the asking from any Kodak dealer.
If you would like a collection of these “100 Years Ago this Week” the Bona Thompson Memorial Center, 5350 E. University (Irvington) has the last 3 years in 3 booklets – $10 per set. They are open Wed. 1-3pm, Sat. & Sun.1-4pm. All proceeds benefit the Irvington Historical Society.
