Edith Dunham Foster (1864–1950) was an American educational film maker who served as the editor of the Motion Picture Community Bureau, which furnished nearly all of the films seen by American armed forces during World War I. Foster's son Warren Dunham Foster was president of the Motion Picture Community Bureau. During World War I, the Bureau supplied the Y.M.C.A War Work Council and the Committee on Training Camp Activities with nine million feet of film a week used in the United States and two million feet of film a week used abroad. The films were watched by soldiers from the United States and its allies worldwide. After the war Foster continued working with her son, a patent attorney and an inventor, on the production of educational films and the invention of motion picture apparatus. During World War I, Foster oversaw the development of a projecting machine that put pictures on the ceiling so that injured soldiers could watch films from their hospital cots.[1] References1. ^{{cite news |title=Mrs. W.
