MOTION PICTURES IN NATURAL COLORS 281 been made under varying light conditions and with camera speeds as high as eight times normal, with perfect success. The results, in fact, were definitely better than the average of ultra-speed monochrome, but with perfect color added. By virtue of its simplicity, Multicolor offers the whole industry the boon of perfected, workable color, for not only may 'it be used by the greatest producing companies, but by individual industrial firms as well. There is a surprisingly great field for color in modern industrial filming, though not enough to justify the vast cost of special cameras and apparatus whose use would be limited solely to color work. In this field, Multicolor, requiring only a special magazine and film, is supreme, for once the film gate is adjusted to Multicolor work, any Bell & Howell or Mitchell is at once a color and a monochrome camera, for either process may be used without further change. Other experiments, too numerous to mention, are being conducted in various quarters. What the future holds for them is a problem. Undoubtedly some promise interesting developments. Among the most interesting is the three-color Keller-Dorian process, which in the 16-millimeter field is known as Kodacolor. For some time experiments have been under way to apply this to the professional field, but to date it has not proven practical. Without doubt, the coming year will see remarkable strides in the color field.
