The climax came the next night at Shibe Park, home of the Philadelphia Athletics. Some 30,000 people, who paid 65? to $2.60 for seats, all but filled the vast, covered stands. Banks of blinding floodlights beat down on the speakers' platform erected near second base...

As the color is incorporated in the negative, making it possible to record it with an ordinary black & white camera, General Aniline hopes that Ansco will eventually compete with Technicolor.
