HEAR THOSE CHIMES Lantern Slide' Description This is a sheet music advertising glass magic lantern slide, beautifully colored, labeled, "Hear Those Chimes." GREAT VIEW!! It is slide #11 of a set produced by Levi's Perfection Slides and I believe it was written by George Hodgkins. Slide was meant to be projected on the screen of a theater, vaudeville house, or other auditorium to advertise the latest song hit. Usually it was the sheet music company who would hire someone to sing the song while the projectionist showed slides on the screen to illustrate the song. Often the last slide was the words to the chorus and the audience was invited to sing along--the idea being that they would like the song well enough to go out and buy the music. Slides were usually discarded after a relatively short period of use so are difficult to find. Slide is 3 1/4" x 4", is in very good condition, and can be viewed by projecting, holding it to the light, or placing it on a light box. This slide can be made into a photograph or poster. If you would like information on having that done AFTER you purchase the view, please let me know. You can learn more about magic lanterns and slides by going to www.magiclanternsociety.org.
