Some of the earliest color motion picture film you will ever see

“In these newly preserved tests, made in 1922 at the Paragon Studios in Fort Lee, New Jersey, actress Mae Murray is joined by actress Hope Hampton modeling costumes from The Light in the Dark (1922), which contained the first commercial use of Two-Color Kodachrome in a feature film. Ziegfeld Follies actress Mary Eaton and an unidentified woman and child also appear.”

    Ironic that this wonderful archival film should come to light in the same year that Kodak discontinued the production and development of Kodachrome films for good.
