CAMERAS ARE COLOUR-FINICKY

NANCY CARROLL MAKES IDEAL SCREEN TYPE. Red hair, blue eyes— eombined- with a flair. for .wearing apparel in harmo,nious shades of: green, brown, yellow and- blue— make the perfect girl for colour in' motion pitcuresj Camera men pronounce Nancy. Carrol, with her sparkling blue eyes and her wavy red hair, the ideal Techniclour girl of the screen. . Red and gTeen are the primary colours of Techniclour photography, just as- red, blue and yellow are the artists's primary colours. Eaeh camera contains a prism which splits each scene into two images, one image reaching the negative through, a red filter, the o'ther through a green fi^ter. Red reproduees on the i screen most j faithfqlly, by reason of the fact that it reaches the negative purq and clear through the .red filter. .Golden* hair ! and brown hair, not containing direct ' primary colours, do not reach the film

I ' . : ' . ' ■ ■ ; through such a clear colour track. Next to re^.fpr faithful reproduction are green, a primary Technicolour hue, and blue, which registers eff ectively thro.ugh . the green filter. Thus, the, girl with red hair and blue eyes is ideal for colour photography in pictures. .. . Costume flesigners, style creators and dress artists know that the colours most becoming to a girl with red hair are the various shades of green, brown, yellow "and blue, all of which are strong Technicolour colours. For this reason, the red-haired, blue-eyed girl, dressed in her most becoming colours, is ideal on the colour screen. Her desirable colouring was largely responsible for the choice of Nancy Carroll for the leading role in Paramount's new allTTechnicolour picture, "Follow Thru," the Majestic Theatre feature for Saturday, Qetober 24, which Laurenee Sehwab, of the famous Schwab and Mandel partnership, brought to the talking screen.
