...only film with the color screen applied directly on it. But because all color screens absorb some of the light they receive, all color films are "slower" than ordinary black-&-white film. Lumière film, the oldest, which is coated with fine starch grains, is 60 times slower. Agfa, which uses a solution of chemically discrete color elements, is 30 times slower. Not having geometrical screen patterns, these two films are susceptible to small inequalities of color distribution which may show up when a cinema projection is sufficiently magnified. Not only does Dufaycolor not suffer from this defect...
...Haeseler '23, head of the University Film Foundation, has announced that the organization is making a series of studies of the Arnold Arboretum, in Boston. 100 plates, manufactured by the Agfa-Ansco Company, in Germany, have been procured with considerable difficulty, and slides are now being taken of the various flowering shrubs in their natural colors. Oakes Ames '98, Professor of Botany, and the chairman of the Council of Botanical Specimens, is financing the enterprise, which botanists greet with conspicuous enthusiasm.

...held most of the original patents and processes upon which the present Photographic Industry is based; nor have you ever, by the very least typographical impress, even so much as given a fact-hungry list of subscribers, newsstandbuyers, Junior Leaguers, et al., the faintest inkling concerning the merger of Agfa, superpotent Chemical combine, German-owned, with the 86-year old U. S. owned Ansco Photoproducts, Inc. to form Agfa Ansco Corp.; neither did you give, in your article headed "Vanity Kodaks" on p. 45, June 4 issue, proper credit to Ansco for pioneering colored cameras three years ago, when Ansco...
