'''Availability:''' Extinct outside of film preservation; was mainly used on early colorized silent films. It appeared on ''The Heart of General Robert E.

The logo should be retained if either film resurfaces. | '''Availability:''' Extinct outside of film preservation; was mainly used on early colorized silent films.
