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. De Witt C. Wheeler. "KATIE O'SULLIVAN."— Words and music by John B. Gardner; published by the Gardner Music Pub. Co., Waterloo, la. An Irish waltz song with pleasing strains and a chorus in which one likes to join with the singer when the words are flashed on the screen. The illustrating is an excellent piece of work on the part of Wheeler. The models are agreeable, the scenic effects intensely interesting and the posing not to be beaten. "IF YOU BELIEVE IN DREAMS, SWEETHEART."— Words by Ole Silas; music by Samuel Speck; pub . lished by Jerome H. Remick & Co. This is a new love ballad with illustrations that are appropriate and beautiful. You cannot fail to like the models and their posing in this set. "HANNAH," WON'T YOU SMILE AWHILE WITH ME?"— Words by Jack Mahoney; music by Theodore Morse; published by Theodore Morse Music Co., New York. The class of songs these two authors turn out is well known. "Hannah" is well in keeping with the rest. The slides give us many views of plantation life in the South. Scenes among the cotton fields are enriched with soft moonlight producing a most beautiful effect. Scott & Van Altena. "WHEN THE HEART'S BEHIND A KISS."— Words by Arthur Longbrake; music by Ed. Edwards; published by Jos. Morris Co., Philadelphia. To illustrate this song, Scott & Van Altena have produced a set of slides, cleverly posed, beautifully colored, and containing more than the usual number of novelties. The novelties are very high class and the set as a whole is extremely artistic. "DOWN BY THE RIO GRANDE."— Words by Al. M. Herman; music by Roy H. King; published by Seminary Music Co., New York. A cowboy song in the illustrating of which cowboy costumes are used. The scenes are typical of the west, mountain scenery prevailing. The posing is good and each slide has a novelty of its own. The set is original and praiseworthy. "LET'S MAKE LOVE WHILE THE MOON SHINES."— By Harris and Robinson; published by Will Rossiter, Chicago. This subject has given the illustrators ample chance for beautiful, dreamy moonlight scenes which they have taken full advantage of. The set is an excellent one, exquisitely colored. Levi Company, Inc. 'GIVE ME YOUR LOVE."— Words by McWatters Tyson; music by Lewis-Bennett; published by Shapiro. This is one of the most novel numbers of the season. There is a laugh in every line. It tells in a humorous way the story of Othello and Desdemona. Much care has been exercised on the slides. In all, this should be a most satisfactory song. "PARTNERS." — This is another sentimental song that is bound to catch on immediately. The slides are most beautifully illustrated. Excelsior Slide Co. 'THE ENTERTAINING MAN."— Words and music by Armstrong & Clark; published by M. Wilmark & Sons, New York. A very catchy song, full of rhythm and swing, and very pleasing to the ear. Puts life into any audience. The slides are beautiful, the photography and coloring excellent. Get a set and judge for yourself. 'THE MORE I LIVE THE MORE I LOVE."— Words by Arthur J. Lamb; music by Gerald Wilcox; published by Jos. W. Stern & Co., New York. A beautiful ballad, with sweet music. The illustrations are very pretty, and have worked in quite a number of odd effects, that are very pleasing to the eye. RECENT RELEASES. De Witt C. Wheeler.

There has been so much printed of late about the harm caused the young by moving picture shows that I should like to add my little bit to the side of the defense. For my part, I have never attended a show yet that did not contain something worthy of human interest. Roger King, in the Dayton, Pa., News. CONFIDENCE IN MOTION PICTURE BUSINESS Mr. J. H. Hallberg, "The Economizer Man," states that there apparently is no lack of confidence in the future of the moving picture business, judging from the number of new installations he is selling and refitting of old places. He has just furnished 156 additional automatic folding chairs to J. G. Becker, New Kensington, Pa. One No. 5 Powers to Maxwell Hite, Harrisburg, Pa. One 1911 Motiograph, Keith's theatre, Columbus, O., and two additional motiographs for Keith's Cleveland theatres. One Powers No. 6, A. D. Frantz, Ackley, la. One 1911 Motiograph with Double Dissolver, together with Hallberg Economizers and complete lines of supplies to Theodore Sachs. Catskill, N. Y. One exhibition model, Edison machine to Fowler Bros., Philadelphia, Tenn. Considering the number of Hallberg Economizers already in use, the continued demand for same is surprisingly large. FOR SALE. My Nickelodeon outfit, complete, including Edison one-pin Machine, Upholstered Dover Chairs, piano, etc. Great bargain for any one desiring to start or re-equip moving picture theatre complete.
