involved in these sort of events.

Last Sunday, the Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus - thereafter referred to as the best krewe EVAR - made its debut in New Orleans. Here's how they described themselves:

The Krewe of Chewbacchus is a Carnival Krewe for the most revelrous of Star Wars Freaks, Trekkies, Whovians, Mega-Geeks, Circuit Benders, Cryptozooligists, UFO Conspiracy Theorists, Mad Scientists, and all the rest of Super Nerdom.
We are Bacchanalian Revelry + Sci Fi = BacchanALIENS.
[...] The Chewbacchus parade includes a fleet of UFlambOs, a Bar2D2 float pulled by an X-Wing Fighter bicycle, giant BacchanALIEN and Robot puppets, a 20 ft long Quetzalcoatl Space Dragon, and much much more...

Outstanding! I can't find any explanation at the link regarding why this process wasn't commercially exploited. Perhaps audiences were sufficiently awed by B&W, and this would have been more expensive.

Thanks for posting this.

very cool, i love old stuff like this, what was with the lady at the end though?? I'd give a dollar to know what she was saying.

Oh, so nice! I wished for a period sound-track.

Anyone up on their old silent movie actresses? I thought the last woman looked a lot like Mae Murray, but wasn't sure. Hopefully, I am not the only one left out there who knows who Mae Murray was!

According to the linked article, it is indeed Mae Murray.

Wow Marty you're good! My only reaction to her was hey she somehow looks familiar, but then again lots of these actrices from back then have a certain kind of stereotype look. Just like nowadays they all would look the same if we would look back at them about a hundred years later.

To see her in moving color is amazing- never thought to see that.
