...Journal of Medicine, might well be the president of a local geriatric society "shooting for a record . . . What is his conception of his place in society, of his duty to his patients? Who is he to deny the old man the pleasure of passing the reviewing stand . . . saluting the colors, and, if God is good, falling dead at the long anticipated climax of his life? Who is any man to presume to prolong life at the expense of the sacrifice of every bit of its romance, bite, and color...
...subject of such superheated ban-nerlines last week was a new colored movie process called Rouxcolor. Though hardly as colossal as the excitable French puffs made out, the first Rouxcolor films made moviemen sit up & take notice. To many they seemed sharper and more nearly faithful to natural color values than Technicolor itself. Furthermore, Rouxcolor is an impressive cost-cutter: it can be made with an ordinary black& -white camera equipped with a special lens-at about the same cost as black-&-white film...
...working in their fifth-floor laboratory in a drab building on the Left Bank. Fortnight ago they invited famed Writer-Producer Marcel Pagnol to see some test shots. Greatly excited by what he saw, Pagnol (The Baker's Wife, The Welldigger's Daughter) asked to take some color shots of his own. They turned out so well that he decided to shelve the black-&-white film on Franz Schubert (La Belle Meuniere) which he had just finished, and shoot it over again in Rouxcolor. When he releases the color film next September, he expects to make "screen history...
...secret of Rouxcolor is a lens which is divided into four parts, each with a filter for a different color (red, yellow, green, blue). The four-in-one lens "decomposes" light, making four different images on the film. (A gadget prevents distortion of the images in relation to each other.) When projected through a similar lens, the four-color images are "recomposed" into one color picture. The color of the projected image on the screen is given, not by the film as in other processes, but by the four-in-one lens through which the black-&-white film is projected...
...filmed simply by attaching their four-in-one photo lens (a matter of two minutes) to a black-&-white camera, and shooting with black-&-white film. Projection is just as easy. Laboratories can process the film as if it were black-&-white, thus bypass the costly printing of color film...
