Notes:

Coronet Instructional Films was born out of Coronet Magazine, a publication that was owned by Esquire, Inc. Coronet’s films were bought by schools and libraries, and were shown in US schools starting around 1941. They enjoyed much success with over 1 million films sold.

Most of Coronet’s films were shot using Kodachrome, the first mass marketed color-film. It uses a method called “subtractive color”.

Little is known about Viola Theman, though she did publish a book called “A Good School Day”, which is a book on education.
