Among the subjects to be shown during the next two weeks are Civil War photographs taken by Brady, several portraits of Jules Verno by Carjet, together with the portrait work done in 1880 by Nadar. Outstanding in the field of local color photographs are the Paris scenes of 1890 that will be displayed during this period. Those were taken by the eminent Parisian photographer, Atget...

Critic Tom Taylor of the Times (he also doubled for Punch) promptly criticized it as "ignoring all accepted canons of good drawing, good color and good painting."

Contracts for releasing Silly Symphonies changed hands last March, from Columbia to United Artists. One reason Artist Disney decided to try using color was to distinguish United Artists' Symphonies from the old ones. Colored Symphonies cost about $6,000 extra each to produce. So far they have been so well received that Artist Disney will color the remaining eight of this year's 13 symphonies...
