History of film technology
Kinemacolor released the first drama filmed in the process, "Checkmated", in 1910, and the first feature-length documentary, "With Our King and Queen Through India", in 1912. 
Kinemacolor projectors were installed in some 300 cinemas in Britain, and 54 dramatic films were produced. Four dramatic short films were made in Kinemacolor in the US in 1912–1913, and one in Japan in 1914. However, the company was not a success, partly due to the expense of installing the special Kinemacolor projectors.
