Kotavachrome Professional Prints contain dyes which, in common with those used in printers" inks, artists' paints, and other similar materials, may, in time, according to the Eastman Kodak Company, change.

The dyes used in Kotavachrome Professional Prints are stated by the Eastman Kodak Company to be as stable as possible consistent with their other requirements. It is important that the prints should not be exposed for long to direct sunlight. When they are used for display they should be shielded from the direct rays of the sun. Kotavachrome Professional Prints can be made up to 30 x 401 inches, a size never before successfully obtained in full color prints. For personal, or private use. Kotavachrome prints of landscapes, seascapes, and general views on walls or tables, will add much to the beauty of home interiors.

Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois. "No Relation to Persons . . . '" The old saw about "this has no relation to persons living or dead" is definitely contradicted by the majority of character and business names in most films. In many 20th Century-Fox films sets, signs carry the name "Weinberger Clothing Co." or "Weinberger Brewery." Assistant Director Henry Weinberger is the donor of the name in this case. In another recent film, a very nasty character was named "Charley Hall." The owner of this name is an assistant director at the same studio. The reason for this is that in any case where someone might offer a possible objection to the use of a name, a name for the purpose is "borrowed" from someone on the studio lot. In one recent picture, the names on tombstones in a gangster section of a graveyard read practically as a roster of the studio's assistant directors. But they don't seem to mind.
