P3D Plastigrams

[Dale Walsh <dwalsh1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some more info on Plastigram,

The movie's poster shows a man playing a trombone so perhaps it has
something to do with musicians?  It was shown as part of a double bill
with D.W. Griffith's Way Down East .

And from a fine site on the history of 3D from the BBC at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/the_net/e2/history.html

"William Friese-Green created the first three-dimensional anaglyphic
motion pictures in 1889, which had public exhibition in 1893. 3-D films
enjoyed something of a boom in the 1920s. Early anaglyphic films were
designated as "plasticons" and "plastigram s." These used only one strip
of film that was coated with emulsion on both sides. The Red image was
applied to the front and the green image to the back. In 1922, a novel
plasticon opened at the Rivoli Theatre in New York titled "Movies of the
Future," which gave the viewer optional endings. To view the happy
ending, one watched through the red filter. The green filter revealed
the tragic ending."
