In an editorial under the
heading 'The Coming Of Color"
the May-June issue of Excep-
tional Photoplays gives high
praise to Paramount's first fea-
ture picture entirely in color,
Wanderer of the Wasteland,"
which was produced by Irwin

"'Wanderer Of the Waste
land" the editorial states. ais
done entirely in colors and
shows such a remarkable adj
vance that it puts every theo.
retical objection to flight. The
coloring is remarkably natural
and leaves no sense Of having
been super-imposed upon the
objects photographed. At the
same time the whole picture Is
endowed with new qualities. r.
Is much more vivid, more ami
mate than the uncolored film
and IS entirely soothing to the
eye.
There is also a remarkable
stereoptican quality which al
lows one to look further into the
picture, as If the colors made
it possible to look around Oh
jects. The colored picture tells
more, It is more arrestinc "a
the eye and it recreates the
past more wildly than the two
tone picture. This is of course
. development Of the Qreatest
importance for the future of
motion pictures"
