Scott & Van Altena. "WHEN THE GIRL WHOSE HEART YOU LONG FOR HAS A HEART THAT LONGS FOR YOU." — Words by Robt. F. Roden; music by Geo. W. Meyer; published by F. B. Haviland, New York. A waltz song of merit just out. In the illustrations, Scott & Van Altena have allowed nature to play a large part in the form of rustic backgrounds, floral decorations and artistic settings. These, made resplendent by this firm's expert colorists, afford great attractiveness and sustain the interest throughout. Posing, too, is excellent. •IN THE LAND OF HARMONY."— Words by Bert Kalmar; music by Ted Snyder; published by Ted Snyder Co., New York. A popular song with a novelty theme by this well-known author. The lyrics are humorous and likewise the slides. Clever situations abound and novelty effects are present in their usual number. This song and these slides will get the laughs from your audience. ReWitt C. Wheeler. "ALAMO RAG." — Words by Ben Deely; music by Percy Wenrich; Dublished by Jerome H. Remick & Co., New York. This is the biggest ragtime hit of the season and makes a sensation wherever sung. It is now illustrated for the first time by Wheeler, and if slides count for anything, it ought certainly to be a winner. The set is without doubt the most original and novel one ever turned out by Wheeler and adds credit to his name. For real pictures and real art work in slides, get this set. "BABY ROSE." — Words by Louis Weslyn; music by George Christie; published by M. WTitmark & Sons, New York. Maude Lambert's song success, illustrated in the well-known manner of Wheeler, and bearing his high standard of quality. "SWEETHEART OF MY DREAMS." — Lyric by Will J Jones; music by Gus Kleinecke; published by Will Rossiter, Chicago.

A beautifully colored, appropriate set of slides illustrates the lyrics and contains the usual number of Wheeler novelty features. Levi Company, Inc.

This is one of those big instantaneous fire hits that has swept New York City and we predict a bigger sale for "Mary" than either "Any Little Girl" or "Josephine." The slides "DREAMING, MY LOVE, OF YOU."— Words and music by Charles Jolly; published by James D. Shipman Publishing Co., New York. A waltz ballad with very clever lyrics and a beautiful melody.

The models are well chosen, graceful and what is far better, extremely good A DREAM OF A GARDEN AND YOU." — Words by William Carter; music by H. Rennor E. Trautman; published by The Ideal Music Publishers, New York. A great ballad. A worthy successor to "Roses Brinr Dreams of You." As the name implies, this was a great picture song and Simpson has taken advantage of the situation— in the composition of a beautiful set of slides amidst the luxuriance of tropical foliage and blossoms.

As a notable example of the recent advances made in motion picture projection, the complete equipment recently installed for Mr. Henry Conners, at the New Empire Theatre, Coney Island by J. H. Hallberg, "The Economizer Man," stands pre-emineut. For this theatre Mr. Hallberg furnished a No. G Powers Cameragraph with Double Dissolving attachment, a 1911 Model Motiograph, together with a Special Hallberg Direct Current Economizer for use with both machines, delivering 40 amperes at the arc. \ new Mirror Screen was also installed. This theatre being at an amusement resort serving refreshments on the floor, has an entirely open front, allowing passersby to see the pictures from the thoroughfares in broad daylight and in the evening with an illumiuated interior. The brilliancy of the pictures, steady projection and splendid results all around are a revelation and exhibitors will do well to pay a visit to the New Empire and see for themselves. Mr. Conners has spared no expense but is well satisfied with the result of his outlay. FOR SALE OR RENT. Two motion picture houses and one Airdome. Inquire 642 2d St., Brookyln, N. Y.
