Presentation from Hettie Gray Baker to Paul Gallico to the front paste down. Baker was an American film editor of the early days of cinema, employed by Hobart Bosworth as a story editor in 1913. She worked on a series of silent films based on Jack London's novels, such as 'Burning Daylight' and 'The Valley of the Moon'. She may have been the first female editor to be acknowledged in a film's credits, though she was rarely credited for her work.

Paul Gallico was a noted novelist best known for 'The Snow Goose' and 'The Poseidon Adventure'.
