Wonderland of California
Short film made up of various clips showcasing the Cinecolor process, including a visit to a Marx Brothers film set. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with The Film Foundation.
From the archive
Some unrelated scenes combined into a short film, probably to demonstrate the "Cinecolor" process. One scene depicts "The Marx Brothers" during shooting of what seems to be "Animal crackers". This title isn't to be found in "Catalog of Copyright Entries - Motion Pictures 1912-1939, LOC, 1951", so I'm confident it is Public Domain. Opening Title: Stanley Distributing Corporation (Ira H. Simmons, President) presents "Wonderland of California". Closing Title: B-607 - The End - Local Colour - An Associated Screen Picture Release date probably not before 1933, for on Nov. 19, 1932 the following note appeared in the trade magazine 'Film Daily': "Six single reels in color called „Wonderland of California,“ ... have been acquired by Stanley Distributing Corp."
