As a result of the tremendous reception at Grauman's Chinese in Los Angeles and the Roxy in New York of the first Silly Symphony in natural color, Walt Disney, its creator, says all the Symphonies to be released this year by United Artists will be done in Technicolor and that later the Mickey Mouse may also be photographed in natural color.
The first Silly in Technicolor, "Flowers and Trees," was in the nature of a feeler. It was made to touch out the public reaction to color in an animated short feature. After the first showing in Hollywood, in conjunction with M-G-M's "Strange Interlude," Disney decided that he had hit upon one of his most popular moves. Sid Grauman also was highly enthusiastic about "Flowers and Trees."
The same thing happened when the picture was shown at the Roxy. And now the second Silly, "King Neptune," will have its premiere at the opening of "Mr. Robinson Crusoe," Douglas Fairbanks' new feature, at the Rivoli next Wednesday.
