Really the first film in Kinemacolor?[edit]

While a film called A Visit to the Seaside was the "first scenic picture taken in KINEMACOLOR" according to the 1912 Kinemacolor catalogue, it is not mentioned the first time the public saw a Kinemacolor film, which was on 26 February 1909. The programme, called The First Presentation of Kinemacolor, consisted of several films:^[1]
