Motion Pictures in Color.

A serious effort is being made to reproduce motion pictures in color, but as yet little success has been obtained, and the pictures in color which have been show in recent years have been painted. Attempts to adapt threecolor photography, by using simultaneously three films, each with a sort of light of appropriate color, and combin ing the three Images on the screen, have to overcome great difficulties in regard to maintenance of register, because very minute errors of adjustment between the pictures on the films are magnified to an intolerable extent by projection. In a process devised by G. A. Smith, the results of which were exhibited at the Society of Arts of London, in December, 1908, the number of colors recorded was reduced to two.
