jo THE F LM INDEX There are more and better novelties in a set of WHEELER'S Song Slides than were ever thought of before, GET WISE ! DE WITT C. WHEELER, Inc. 116-120 West 31st Street New York Largest Song Slide Makers in the World The Slides that Bring Applause Scott & Van Altena's 59 Pearl Street, New York City SONG SLIDE RELEASES Synopsis of Productions by the Leading Song Slide Manufacturers RELEASED THIS WEEK. De Witt C. Wheeler. "WHERE THE. DESERT MEETS THE NILE."— Lyrics and music by J. R. Shannon; published by Grinnell Bros., Detroit, Mich. Mr. Shannon is the popular writer of Grinnell Brothers, who is well known because of his successful and out-of-the-ordinary compositions "My Spanish Rose," "My Old Girl," etc. The slides for this song are of the scenic kind. They give us excellent views of the Sierra and Nile, and are posed in gorgeous native costumes that afford a study in color. "MY ROSE FROM THE GARDEN OF LOVE."— Words by Jesse M. Glick; music by Irving M. Wilson; published by M. Witmark & Sons, New York. This song, Edith Mote's big success in vaudeville, has had such a wonderful sale so far that the publishers predict it another "Love Me and the World is Mine." Indeed, if anything were needed to aid its success, the slides alone would effect that result. Posed in colonial costume amidst flowers and bowers, they will afford an imposing presentation on any screen. Scott & Van Altena. "LOVE ME WITH YOUR BIG BLUE EYES."— Words and music by Kendis and Paley; published by Kendis and Paley, New York. A song of the appealing type, illustrated with a novelty set of slides that is both original and clever. "KISS ME, MY HONEY, KISS ME."— Words by Irving Berlin; music by Ted Snyder; published by Ted Snyder Co., New York. This author's name on a song is proof enough of its excellence. Of the slides too much cannot be said. The model is she who posed in last week's release, "I Wouldn't Give My Heart to Anyone But You;" she whom we spoke so highly of in the description of that song. Her ability as a model is unquestionable, and the gift nature has bestowed on her — beauty — adorns every slide in which she appears. "YOU CAN WIN ME— IF YOU'LL WOO ME— WHILE WE WALTZ." — Words by Sylvester Maguire; music by Alfred Solman; published by Jos. W. Stern & Co., New York. That this set of slides is a brilliant piece of workmanship will be self-evident to those who have followed closely the progress in this line of work. Extraordinarily good posing by models whose likenesses reproduce to excellent advantage is bound to make this set applauded by all audiences. Alfred L. Simpson. 'AS DEEP AS THE DEEP BLUE SEA."— By H. W. Petrie. author of "Asleep In the Deep," "Down In the Deep Let Me Sleep When I' Die;" published by the House of Haviland. A beautiful ballad of great poetic and musical merit. Simpson has made a meritorious set of slides for this popular hit, showing exquisite marine views and the sailor boy and his sweetheart in typical surroundings. Scenes on vessels, etc. •KELLY'S GONE TO KINGDOM COME."— Words by Sax Rohmer; music by T. W. Thurban; published by Will Rossiter. The song that Maude Lambert, the dainty comedienne, featured in Lew Field's "Midnight Sons." In the slides Simpson has shown a real aeroplane, Kelly under the ocean, Kelly in an airship, and any number of humorous situations. Most of these pictures were made during the recent International Aviation Meet. with good lyrics and a beautiful melody. The slides contain a great many novelties, all artistically made and from local expression of opinion it is one of the best sets ever turned out by Levi. 'DON'T WAKE ME UP, I AM DREAMING."— Words by Beth Slater Whitson; music by Herbert Ingraham, writer of "Roses Bring Dreams of You," "You Are the Ideal of My Dreams" and "All That I Ask is Love." This is his next ballad, and judging from the melody it will undoubtedly prove as big a sensation as its predecessors. Shapiro is the publisher. The Levi Co. have made a special effort on the slides and the result has been more than satisfactory. Beautiful scenery, excellent models and good photography. Excelsior Slide Co. 'SWEET ANNA LIZE."— Words by Bartley Costello; music by Henry I. Marshall; published by Ted Snyder. " A tuneful love ballad with a fascinating movement that should appeal to lovers of this class of music. Appropriate illustrations by Excelsior. 'DER DEUTSCHE RAG."— Words by Sam M.
