"Primer súper 8 de Nicolás Echevarría, quien ya había realizado un trabajo experimental en 16 milímetros y veía en los superocheros una suerte de "comunidad de marginados" con la que se sentía a gusto, mostraba sobre el fondo de una pieza de Ravel las poses de un contorsionista que buscaba la autosatisfacción en un decorado que asocia la noción burguesa de confort al erotismo" (Vázquez Mantecón 2012)
"First super 8 film of Nicolás Echevarría, who had already filmed and experimental piece in 16 mm and saw in the supereighters a sort of "outcasts' community" that he identified himself with, it showed with the background of a Ravel musical piece the poses of a male contortionist looking for self-satisfaction in a setting that associates the notion of the bourgeoisie to the comfort of eroticism"
"'Europa Touring,' winner in the scenic class, was a 'honey' in any man's language. It was the film handiwork of Ellis M. Yarnell and C. Y. Kimball of Redondo Beach, Cal.; and was the story of a tour of Northern Europe, where the summer grass, as in northern countries, really is green — which last remark of course tells you the subject was in color. The two men have been making amateur motion pictures for seven years. Yarnell is a member of the Delta Kappa Alpha, Cinema Fraternity, U.S.C., and Kimball of the Amateur Cinema League." American Cinematographer, Jan. 1938, 28.
