There was an R. E. Baker credited with directing a bunch of silent pictures in 1911, including "The Gordian Knot," "His Friend's Wife," "The Rosary," "Her Dad, the Constable," "Fate's Funny Frolic," "The Burglarized Burglar," and "The New Manager," all starring Francis X. Bushman. But it's a pretty common surname, and "R. E." could stand for a lot of things....

Looks like a youngster in 1913. Wonder if it's this guy?: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9802E...

Smart kid. The college's alumni records could tell us what became of him.

French journalist, his wikipedia entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaston_Calmette He died in March 1914--assassinated by Henriette Caillaux, who was afraid he was about to reveal secret details of her personal life. (She was acquitted.)

I was just about to google his name. Thanks :)

pennylrichardsca: Thanks for the information on M. Calmette. Quite a story! We will add more details to the record.

Emil Abderhalden (March 9, 1877 – August 5, 1950) was a Swiss biochemist and physiologist. His main findings, though disputed already in the 1920s, were not finally rejected until the late 1990s. Whether his misleading findings were based on fraud or simply the result of a lack of scientific rigor remains unclear. Abderhalden's drying pistol, used in chemistry, was first described by one of his students in a textbook Abderhalden edited. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emil_Abderhalden
