3« THE FILM INDEX The Slides the audience look and wait for are made by De Witt C. Wheeler, he. 120 West 31st St. New York City The Slides that Please the Eyes 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. DeWitt C. Wheeler. "IF YOU PROMISE TO BEHAVE." — Words and music by Kendis & Paley; published by Kendis & Paley, New York. A set of illustrations rich in color effects and abounding in clever Wheeler novelties. "LOVE'S SWEETEST SONG DIVINE."— Words and music by Chas. E. Baer; published by Welch & Welsky, Philadelphia. A semi-classical ballad with a beautiful melody and an excellent set of illustrations has been turned out by Wheeler in which the models are attired in costumes of the Colonial period and in which posing and backgrounds are grand and stately, well befitting a selection of this class. Beautiful flowers and landscapes are utilized to advantage. The models are all that could be desired, and the coloring is praiseworthy. "OPEN YOUR EYES."— Words and music by Percy Wenrich; published by Jercme H. Remick, New York. As usual — another Remick hit. Illustrations by Wheeler are fully up to his standard and illustrate in a clever manner what a girl can do with her eyes. Let them open the eyes of your audience. Scott & Van Altena. "WHEN YOU'RE MISSING ALL THE KISSING OF THE GIRL YOU USED TO KNOW."— Words by Robert Roden; music by Theodore Morse; published by Theodore Morse Music Co., New York. A gcod melody and brilliant lyrics make this song a good one. If they didn't, a wonderful little set of slides by Scott & Van Altena would bring about that result. In moonlight scenes and beautiful coloring this firm's work is unsurpassed, and this set is no exception. A kiss or two neatly served and "novelly" received is a feature in this set. "SUMMER DAYS."— Lyric by Poe McCarthy; melody by Al. Prantadosi; published by Leo Feist, New York. Certainly an appropriate song for this time of year. In the illustrations we are shown the many different sports indulged in during the summer days, and it is sure to make one anxious for that time's speedy arrival. Some excellent posing. "LET ME SPEND MY VACATION WITH YOU."— Published by Harold Rossiter, Chicago. Another summer set bound to appeal to audiences at this time. The story is that he'll go anywhere at all for his vacation, provided he may be permitted to accompany her. Seashore, mountains, lakes and woods are all shown as possibilities and make an interesting set. Levi Company. "WHOOP-A-DAISY."— Words and music by Kahn & Le Boy, writers of "I Wish I Had a Girl," published by music house of Laemmle. This song is being used by Emma Carus and is a big hit. The slides are very good. "A TRIP WITH YOUR TIP TOP BOY."— Words by V. P. McKinnie; music by Aubrey Stauffer; published by Aubrey Stauffer & Co., Chicago, 111. A fine little waltz song with a very catchy melody. The models are well posed, making it a very fine set of slides. A. L. Simpson. "HONEY, YOU CAN TURN THE WORLD AROUND FOR ME."— By E. Nattes; published by the Musicians Publishing Co. This is a very original and clever novelty song, good comedy and real merit, melodious and catchy. In fact, it has all the earmarks of a popular hit. Simpson has originated a series of snappy, illustrative situations which both amuse the mind and delight the eye, showing it is possible to have both comedy and artistic merit in a picture. "SEEMS TO ME THE WORLD IS SINGING, MARGUERITE."—By Edmund Lyons; published by Edmund Lyons. A melodious ballad. Musically, beyond criticism. A poem of true merit also. This is not one of the ordinary ballads such as are turned out overnight now-a-days, but high class and good; in all that the latter word implies. Simpson has produced a series of pictures among the tropical, luxuriant foliage of the southland where these pictures were specially posed by him. The models who posed for this song are Miss Ruth Edwards, dainty and winsome, and Mr. A. H. Freeman, manly and graceful. This set of slides should make a hit wherever shown. Excelsior Slide Co. "ONLY A ROSE IN A VASE OF GOLD."— Words by Thomas J. Kennedy and Bobby Heath; melody by Chas. O'Donnell; published by the Fellheimer-Kennedy Co. This is the Fellheimers' biggest hit of the season and is some song. Slides by Excelsior Co. are excellently made and should help along the popularity of the song. "MAYBE YOU WERE MADE FOR ME."— Words by Alfred Bryan; music by Madwell Silver; published by F. A. Mills, New York. Slides were made for this song because of the great demand made almost daily for them by singers throughout the country. The slides are good. RECENT RELEASES. DeWitt C. Wheeler.
