gukonni I think the unidentified woman in hat prior to :51 is actually Hope Hampton. If you look at pictures of her and her silent film performances, especially The Light in the Dark (1922), it looks just like her. I don't know if the woman you're calling Hope Hampton is the same woman in costume or not. Incidentally, sources I found say that Hope Hampton was wearing a costume from The Light in the Dark, which indeed does appear to match the second woman that you say is Hampton.

Even more amazing is that Mark Twain wrote a story featuring the internet (or a version of it) in 1898. He imagined pictures being sent via telephone cables around the world. "As soon as the Paris contract released the telelectroscope, it was delivered to public use, and was soon connected with the telephonic systems of the whole world. The improved ‘limitless-distance’ telephone was presently introduced and the daily doings of the globe made visible to everybody, and audibly discussable too, by witnesses separated by any number of leagues." "From the ‘London Times’ of 1904" by Mark Twain People were imagining these technologies long before they were possible :)

The blog post is long gone but I was able to pull this from the Wayback machine: Recently I saw a piece of film at the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film that mesmerized me. It was a test of Kodachrome color motion picture film from 1922. To provide context, the first full length color feature film did not appear until 13-years later (Becky Sharp). Watching this little film clip was like time travel for me! I thought that it would be interesting to share during Oscar® week. In order to share we had to scan the original piece of film to create the version you will see below. That is where Kyle Alvut came in. Kyle works in our Entertainment Imaging division, the movie people, and is an expert in motion picture film and digitization. I visited our labs to get the film scanned and was impressed with the technology there. I knew that this little piece of footage was in good hands. I learned that the flicker that you will see is a result of two different things. First, early cameras were hand cranked, or hand wound, to feed the film through. This could result in slight variations in speed. Second, there could be uneven densities in the film itself because of its age. These two physical characteristics combine to produce the "flicker" that you see. There are digital enhancements that can be made to address this but we thought it better to keep this in its original form. I wonder, who were the ladies in this test? Were they Kodak employees? What kind of lives did they lead? Those questions are lost to the ages. So without further adieu, here from 1922, a full 7 years before the first Academy Award ceremony, is some of the earliest color motion pictures that you will ever see. That was kind of like time travel wasn't it? What did you think? UPDATE March 11, 2010: This just in from friend and fellow film geek Mike C. more information on this piece of footage from a Silent Film Festival site. Well done! "In these newly preserved tests, made in 1922 at the Paragon Studios in Fort Lee, New Jersey, actress Mae Murray appears almost translucent, her flesh a pale white that is reminiscent of perfectly sculpted marble, enhanced with touches of color to her lips, eyes, and hair. She 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. George Eastman House is the repository for many of the early tests made by the Eastman Kodak Company of their various motion picture film stocks and color processes. The Two-Color Kodachrome Process was an attempt to bring natural lifelike colors to the screen through the photochemical method in a subtractive color system. First tests on the Two-Color Kodachrome Process were begun in late 1914. Shot with a dual-lens camera, the process recorded filtered images on black/white negative stock, then made black/white separation positives. The final prints were actually produced by bleaching and tanning a double-coated duplicate negative (made from the positive separations), then dyeing the emulsion green/blue on one side and red on the other. Combined they created a rather ethereal palette of hues." Of Note: This footage is from the George Eastman House collections. Preservation was completed by the museum's Motion Picture Department, a project of Sabrina Negri, a student in Eastman House's L. Jeffrey Selznick School of Film Preservation and a recipient of the Haghefilm Foundation Fellowship.

I am a photographer. I used Kodachrome from roughly 1945 till it was discontinued, decades later. The first was Kodachrome I at 12 asa, the next was Kodachrome II at 25 asa, the third was Kodachrome 64. They were indisputably the finest color transparency films ever made, utterly grainless. Six Kodachrome chromogenic prints hang on my living room wall at the moment. No color film ever made, positive or negative, equals the rendition of Kodachrome. I believe Kodak ceased manufacturing Kodachromes for environmental reasons - chemicals used in processing Kodachrome left very toxic residue in the soil.

Ektachrome was meant as a replacement for Kodachrome, but it wasn't. It's its own animal. Not nearly as stable as an archival medium, but more resistant to projection fading. Not nearly as fine grained as Kodachrome, but still very good and with a color palate I always enjoyed. A very respectable runner-up to Kodachrome. If you offered me one roll of E100S or an entire case of Fuji Velvia (with its ghoulish greens), I'd take the Kodachrome. Unless they bring Kodachrome back and make it available as roll film (120), it's of no use to me. @Gordon Ackerman It's no Kodachrome, but Ektar 100 is a damned fine color reversal film - it has a good deal of E100S's soul. Assuming they didn't discontinue that too. Portra gets most skin tones right, if that's your focus.

I was born in 1951 and during the late 1950s and all the 1960s my fathers favorite film for family and vacation pictures was Kodak Kodachrome color slide film used in a Kodak Retina iic camera.

It's like peeking through a window into the past. I almost feel guilty.

"Cucharacha" in 1934 was the first Technicolor iv live action film. Gasparcolor ( a chromolytic system) was the first full Colour gamut subtractive print single film process (1932) , this had some limited success in Europe( mainly in animation). Gasparcolor was very "Slow" and could not be used as a negative, so beam splitter cameras/ successive exposure /colour filter wheel cameras had to used for the primary photography, so it was not really much of an improvement on Technicolor IV. Full colour gamut Kodachrome came on the market in 1935 ( & was the first chromogenic film process). Followed in 1936 with AGFA neu Colour chromagenic film with integral dye couplers.

@@reviewgodusa9613 That's right. Two color systems had to compromise a lot, usually with an orange and cyan filter giving ok skins tones; but odd looking other colors. They also where not that sharp either using duplicized film stocks or two films stocks glued together( Tech ii). Cinecolor for example; used a bipack film camera system ( two films back to back, one Othorchromatic ; for blue/green, ( front of the film) with an orange dye base( back of the Orthorchromatic film) behind the Ortho film they had a strip of Panchromatic film pressed tightly up against the Ortho film in the film gate. This film could only record what the filter on the back of the Ortho film let through= Orange/red). This was then printed on a duplicised print film stock, each side of the film had one compromise color after processing. It looks ok ..ish. but lasted until the early 1950s. They managed to adapt this process to a three Color process called SuperCineColor, which looks quite nice. It's a fascinating subject! This two colour version of Kodachrome was on the market for still photography around 1915 I believe. It was technically better than Tech ii; so I'm not sure why Hollywood seemed to have ignored it?

You will notice: RED >> GREEN >> BLUE Early color photography showed quickly that the longer the wavelength, the more intensely the color saturated the film. Accordingly, you will note that red hair on the ladies, red lipstick and red dresses dominated the spectrum. The green dress (intermediate color) was more subdued, and finally, any trace of blue was non existent -- it just didn't pick up It took years of color technology to cure this problem

Mae Murray was one of the most famous women in the world by the mid-twenties. She made a tragic mistake in '26 when she married a bogus "prince," probably because she was pregnant. He took control of her affairs and convinced her to make decisions that would eventually destroy her career. Within a matter of a few years the estimated 3 million dollars she'd made had vanished or was stolen by her husband. She would end up a destitute relic of the forgotten silent era; mentally unstable; obsessively planning her "comeback" up until the day she died (1965), penniless, at the Motion Picture Home she'd been part of creating 40 years before.

Straight men are so Hypocritical. Who do you think imposed these beauty standards? MEN! You think shes beautiful, but men back in the day were a lot more entitled and assholes then, and put beautiful women like these down constantly. Why do you think showgirls were popular back in the day? Because they wore a lot if makeup, bared their skin, and shimmied their assets. Regular women tried keeping up with the pinups and starlets, and here we are today!

Jacob Cannon Way to cast a net over a whole group of people. If the cosmetic surgeries we have available today were around back then, they'd likely be just as popular. The 1920's saw an overall relaxing of pre-war social norms.

Thankfully some archived this. Great work!

Just beautiful....and mesmerizing. Thank you Kodak for sharing.

She is Mary Eaton. Mary Eaton (January 29, 1901 - October 10, 1948) was a leading American stage actress, singer, and dancer in the 1910s and 1920s. A professional performer since childhood, she enjoyed success in stage productions such as the Ziegfeld Follies and early sound films such as Glorifying the American Girl and The Cocoanuts, but found her career in sharp decline by the mid-1930s. A battle with alcoholism led to her death in 1948 from liver failure.

This is not the 1936-2009 Kodachrome. This is a 2-color film, so the colors are not quite right.

Thank you for posting, Times have really changed. What a wonderful time to have lived. Also, a very young Mae Murray too, beautiful!

This is absolutely breathtaking.😍

These film footages are amazing.

Why am I so attracted to the Color scheme of this? Everything is either very bright or Light looks amazing.

This is two-tone color. Blue is missing, but anyway astonishing! From Wikipedia: Technicolor originally existed in a two-color (red and green) system. In Process 1 (1916), a prism beam-splitter behind the camera lens exposed two consecutive frames of a single strip of black-and-white negative film simultaneously, one behind a red filter, the other behind a green filter. Because two frames were being exposed at the same time, the film had to be photographed and projected at twice the normal speed. Exhibition required a special projector with two apertures (one with a red filter and the other with a green filter), two lenses, and an adjustable prism that aligned the two images on the screen.

No, I don't think this is two-strip Technicolor. It's Kodacolor. It reproduces the full spectrum, but it's very slow. You don't want to set the actors on fire while you're trying to photograph them.

I cried watching this video. It's so, so wonderful to see... so enchantedly charming! It's a huge pity that sound wasn't there, that wouldn't have made this video even more perfect than it is. The music is... beautiful. Suits the film like a glove. OMG this is wonderful! kudos to the Kodak people, from someone who LOVES the movies with all her heart :=) Thanks very much for posting this!

this is why pages like youtube are good, make public so historical registers, is pure magic.

BangMan007 Apparently she is none other than "America's Sweetheart" Mary Pickford, who was actually Canadian. She lived to the ripe old age of 87 and died extremely wealthy. She was a co-founder of United Artists. The color footage really accentuates her beauty.

Beautiful music to match the beautiful model. Who was she? What does she say? Can anybody read her lips? Leave it here. Thank you.

+George Strum I have no idea where the original blog post from Kodak went, but here's an excerpt: "In these newly preserved tests, made in 1922 at the Paragon Studios in Fort Lee, New Jersey, actress Mae Murray appears almost translucent, her flesh a pale white that is reminiscent of perfectly sculpted marble, enhanced with touches of color to her lips, eyes, and hair. She 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.George Eastman House is the repository for many of the early tests made by the Eastman Kodak Company of their various motion picture film stocks and color processes. The Two-Color Kodachrome Process was an attempt to bring natural lifelike colors to the screen through the photochemical method in a subtractive color system. First tests on the Two-Color Kodachrome Process were begun in late 1914. Shot with a dual-lens camera, the process recorded filtered images on black/white negative stock, then made black/white separation positives. The final prints were actually produced by bleaching and tanning a double-coated duplicate negative (made from the positive separations), then dyeing the emulsion green/blue on one side and red on the other. Combined they created a rather ethereal palette of hues."

Call me what you will, but looking at this videos and these young women, makes me miss the femininity that women used to feel pride off and nowadays want to seem to want to shed ASAP, (not all women, I understand), like it's somehow taboo or shameful to be feminine and or embrace that gender role.
