"An experimental abstraction of dancing patterns of a kaleidoscope. The colors, patterns, and designs change to the tempo of accompanying music. The mechanics of the kaleidoscope patterns appear to come from a triangular tunnel formed by three mirrors, with the camera at one end and the subject material at the other. At one point there appears either a glass rod or a bottle neck which adds to the fantasy of designs" PSA Journal, Oct. 1962, 34-35.
"There are establishing scenes of the tugboat Carol Moran at dock in New York Harbor. We move aboard for an acquaintance with the captain. A call via radio comes from the dispatcher and very quickly the tug puts out for deep water. We are on the boat and live with the crew the experiences of a routine assignment, each of which must be just a little different. There are many things to see on these assignments and our cameraman has time for us to look. Carol has safely brought her mistress to dock; mission completed, Carol returns to her berth to await the next call. We have been part of a cycle of duty complete with the sounds attendant such a venture" PSA Journal, Nov. 1960, 39.
"If the lead title — Carolina Holiday — promises run-of-the-mill vacation footage, there is surely nothing else routine about this production. It is, rather, a rhapsody of color and a tone poem of contrasting moods, to which Henry K. Burns, jr., has brought fine technical skill and a perceptive eye for composition. Although rich in scenic beauty, his views are never static, for movement in a score of things — drifting fog, rustling leaves, an unexpected snow flurry — introduce animation unlooked for in the subject. An unfortunate commentary and hapless scoring (save toward the end) were detrimental to the film's achieving higher honors." Movie Makers, Dec. 1950, 466-467.
"Carousel is a colorful film that takes us on today's merry-go-round through an excellent editing job and the use of music. This 3 1/2 minute work of art is by Louis Grenier of Chicago" PSA Journal, Nov. 1969, 57.
"Charles and Robert Coles showed a fine knowledge of the use of filters in their twin subject, 'Cascade and World's Fair.' Also they showed a grasp of composition and camera angles that was refreshing." American Cinematographer, Dec. 1933, 342.
