Three dimensional films are an optical disillusion. In their present form, the Tri-Opticon Pictures premiered in New England last week are more suited to a science classroom that a Boston theatre. Two of the five shorts are cartoons-abstractions of lines and triangles which seem to drift from the screen to an audience squinting through special gray-tinted glasses.

His only loss: the final of the Blue-Grey championship (to Tuero...
