Standard Slide Corporation Largest Lantern Slide Establishment in the World 211 West 48th St., NEW YORK Touriscope Stereopticon Projects "Stills" on Both Films and Slides Underwood & Underwood, 417 Fifth avenue, New York, offer the "Touriscope" to schools, colleges and churches and for all kinds of illustrated lecture work. The Touriscope is the stereopticon that uses non-inflammable films instead of glass slides. The makers claim for it a number of distinctive and exclusive features well worth the attention of all those interested in the screen. A description of the Touriscope system of picture projection reads as follows: "With the Touriscope film there is no taking out of one slide and putting in another. By simply operating a lever, one picture is instantly dissolved and another released. Since the slides are a part of and comprised in one continuous film, the slides are never out of order and cannot go in upside down, or rights and lefts reversed — annoying incidents frequent in any stereopticon display where glass slides are used. With the Touriscope film you handle 100 slides with the same convenience and time required for one glass slide. Being in one film roll, the individual slides are not handled at all, and so are protected from finger marks, from which glass slides are kept free only by constant inspection, involving trouble and expense of cleaning. "Practically all the expense and bother of preparing and checking over glass slides for shipping to customers and in receiving Cop.vright by Underwood & Underwood Film Cartridge for use in the Touriscope. < opyright by Underwood & Underwood The Touriscope, an attachment which fits on to the ordinary lantern and takes slides or film rolls instead of glass slides. from customers is done awaj' with, since each set of slides is in one continuous roll. This is a considerable item of saving, particularly to an^-one sending out sets of slides for use by their patrons. The Touriscope film being only a small fraction of the bulk and weight of glass slides, time, trouble and expense are saved all the way along. "Glass slides may also be used with the Touriscope. The Touriscope magazine and system of projection may be easily adapted to leading standard lanterns." Prizma Will Feature an Occasional Drama The latest release of Prizma natural color pictures is "Memories." It is a picturization of John Greenleaf Whittier's immortal poem. This marks the first departure of the Prizma company from the line of scenes so far released by this company. With "Memories" the exhibitors and the patrons of the picture theaters will get an inkling of the big things that are going to be done by the Prizma organization. Having met with pronounced success in presenting the wonders of nature in colors, it is now the intention to release from time to time short subjects in which drama has much to do with the product.
