It always seemed odd that Natalie Kalmus, Mrs. Technicolor, would have attached her name to any B&W set.

I wonder if she was as controlling with this B/W TV as she was all those years controlling the colors used with Technicolor features? BTW, I have a 16mm Technicolor film produced in 1940 for use in the industrial field. The print was made in the late 60's. The color is stunning. Everything in it, including food product labels of the time, seems to jump out of the screen in vivid color.

Long story short. She and Herb Kalmus (the true inventor of Technicolor) divorced in 1922. She did remain with him at Technicolor until 1948 (possibly a divorce settlement) when Herb decided to get married again and she filed a suit against him. No more movies after that.
More at Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natalie_Kalmus The 50th anniversary book about The Wizard of Oz has nothing kind to say about her. To me it looks like the gravy train ran out and she loaned her name to a line of sets marketed for the So Cal area where her name was famous...b@#$h notwithstanding. Famous no where else.
