Lake St. News of the Trade ONE of the recent installations of the Fotoplayer, the wonderful musical instrument manufactured by the American Photoplayer Co., 62 West Forty-fifth Street, New York City, is in the Crescent Theatre, Greenwood South Carolina. This is a five and ten cent house, seating over five hundred people. M. G. Sheppard is the manager. Since the installation of the Fotoplayer the Crescent has been playing to capacity houses, showing that good music as well as good pictures are a big asset for every exhibitor. The demand for Power's projection machines has been especially lively recently and installations have been made in many houses, both newly opened and long established, as well as in many other places. Among this number are : The Boston Opera House, Boston, Mass., two Power's Cameragraph No. 6A ; Globe Theatre, Montgomery & Stone production of Chin-Chin, musical comedy, New York City, one Power's Cameragraph No. 6A; Y. M. C. A. of Bristol, R. I., one Power's Cameragraph No. 6A; The Central Museum of Brooklyn, N. Y., one Power's Cameragraph ; The New York American, New York City, one Power's Cameragraph ; the Santa Fe Railroad, Los Angeles, Calif., Safety Department, one Power's Cameragraph No. 6A and the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad, Safety Department, New York City, one Power's Cameragraph No. 6A. Lobby display banners have become exceedingly popular on account of the growing demand for the feature film. These banners are made up with the names of the features already printed on them. Probably one of the largest manufacturers of this class of goods is the Hennegan & Co., of Cincinnati, Ohio. They carry large stock on hand and make shipments on short notice. Still another motion picture screen has been put on the market, known as the Moon Screen. There are many advantages claimed by this screen over other makes and the manufacturers, the International Moon Screen Co., Inc., of 387 Grand street, New York City, report considerable business throughout the country. The screen is made in two different grades at suitable prices. The Precision Machine Co., manufacturers of the Simplex Projector, report that business is exceedingly brisk. Many sales are being made all over the country. It is claimed that their Type "S" Arc Lamp is a big improvement on anything yet produced. Many new features are claimed for the new arc lamp and a circular with full descriptions will be mailed on request.
