[The Moving Picture World, 23 November 1912, page 761] Kinemacolor Activities. / The Kinemacolor Company of America is all here [Los Angeles] now, several of the members who left the party on Arizona their way out from New York having rejoined it at the new studio near Hollywood. The stop in Arizona was made for the purpose of filming the Grand Canyon of the Colorado and its environs. Two full reels of pictures were obtained with all the gorgeous natural colors of the canyon and the indescribably beautiful tints of sunset and dawn. Heretofore it has been necessary for people to go to the Grand Canyon to gain any accurate idea of its beauty and grandeur because, although ordinary photographs showed the outlines of it they could not reproduce the colors. Through the Kinemacolor Company’s enterprise it will now be possible to take the soul of the greatest gash in the world’s crust to people who otherwise could never hope to see it.
