In this music and orchestral arrangement has been so scored that the numbers can be played with maximum effect by any combination of instruments, large and small.

Many theatres have invested thousands of dollars in player pianos and pipe organs to give the proper musical setting to the picture and yet do not get the full benefit of their instruments due sometimes to inefficient organists. A good picture roll especially selected, arranged and played for pictures will bring out every good element of melody and action on an automatic organ or player piano. Of course there are good and bad picture rolls, but it pays to buy the best, those that are cut to accent the true pipe organ effects, with all the force and volume written into the original number. Most music rolls are so arranged to bring out the hand-played features for the various makes of players and also to synchronize with and accent every human emotion pictured on the screen. Prices range from 75c to $1.25. Automatic Music Roll Company, 1510 Dayton street, Chicago. III. FILMUSIC COMPANY. 6701-15 Santa Monica boulevard, Hollywood, Cal. Geneva Organ Company, Geneva, 111.
