De Forest had even planned his cast. Arthur Edmund Carew would play Svengali and Hope Hampton would play Trilby.

This fancy ad invites film people to see a demonstration of a new natural color process created by Claude Friese-Greene. Claude Friese-Greene was the son of William Friese-Greene, who claimed that he had invented motion pictures in the 1880s. William went on to try to develop a natural color motion picture process and Claude carried on his father's work.

In lieu of successful and affordable natural color processes, many films were printed on tinted stock, or shots were tinted after printing.
