Edison 1& to Release Animated Cartoons by Haoul Barre
An article notes Edison 1& plans regular releases starting with The Animated Grouch Chaser by French cartoonist Haoul Barre. The pictures will blend acting by Edison players with animation, Barre personally staging player portions, and using movement animation while drawing to reduce drawings needed by about a quarter, enabling quicker releases. It also highlights Mildred Harris, born Cheyenne Nov 29 1901, as a leading child actress praised for talent and discipline, with a brief career history at Vitagraph, Oz, Inceville, and Reliance-Majestic studios under D W Griffith.
