Summary:

Following the success of Movies of the Future, Jacob Leventhal partnered with Frederick E. Ives to produce the Plastigrams, a self-distributed 300-foot anaglyphic short that played January 1924 in New York at the Rialto, and the following month at the Rivoli. Educational Pictures picked up distribution rights not long thereafter, and the short was distributed nationally in March. Ives and Leventhal followed this up in June 1924 with a short for Educational called Stereoscopiks. The following year, the Ives-Leventhal Stereoscopiks brand licensed by Pathè films for a series of quickie 10-minute shorts with unusual names like Ouch, Zowie, Luna-cy and A Runaway Taxi which gained much national notoriety. Uncredited but an integral part of all these films was William T. Crespinel, who photographed and processed most of these films at Prizma and Kelleycolor laboratories. He seemingly put together this "best of" reel around 1927/1928.
