Show More Color Promised for Moving Pictures ROCHESTER, N. Y. Color, brilliantly true to life, promises to be the next widespread change in the cinema world. And in laboratories scientists are working1 on the difficult problem of giving depth or perspective per-spective to the movie screen. Color is used in some extent in commercial productions, but the engineers en-gineers look forward to the day when theatrical talkies will use color film almost entirely. Engineers Engi-neers point to the recent development develop-ment of amateur color film that in about a year has made black-and-white movies almost obsolete. The difficulty in applying the same process to the theaters is that it has not yet become possible to make prints by the color process most widely used for home movies. Usefulness of color films is not limited to entertainment or amateur use. The making of permanent color col-or movie records of difficult medical med-ical operations will be of use in teaching future surgeons. The compact, com-pact, home-type 16 millimeter color motion pictures can be used in this important work. More color in professional motion pictures is forecast by reports that the lenticular type of color film, although now largely superseded for amateur use, is adaptable to large theater projection. Present color movies are produced by a more complicated and costly method. |
