Progress in the Motion Picture Industry: 1924–1925 Report of the Progress Committee

The ideal motion picture has been described as one which is projected stereoscopically in natural color, is free from flicker and rain effects, and is accompanied by audible reproduction of the players' words. We are still some distance from this ideal, but it gives us some idea why developments during the past year have been carried along a few principal lines in efforts to reach this goal. They include the production of many mechanical devices, in which the Germans have been especially active, marked interest in color photography, reduction of non-visible radiation in the light beam before it reaches the film, and more attention to the theatre performance along the lines of co-ordination of the lighting effect, music, and screen picture.
