feel that this form of exploitation will be of
much benefit to the trade in those cities where
the presentation is used. The slide version was
prepared by Jack Meskill. The familiar strains
of "School Days, School Days" and many other
old popular favorites pertaining to the life of
kiddies are used to advantage, and "Tin Pan
Parade" is brought in at the finish.

for the past fifteen months, it is a remarkable
fact that the song still sells on a large scale. As
witness of this, the Oakland, Cal., branch of
Sherman, Clay & Co., publishers of "Char-
maine," enjoyed a large turn-over of sheet
music copies not long ago as the result of an
attractive window display. The window held
copies of "Charmaine" only, tying up with the
appearance of Roscoe Ates and Dorothy Dar-
ling at the T. & D. Theatre, in which they fea-
ture the song in their act.
The foreground of the window is given over
to the display of small instruments of all kinds.
Several tiny dolls at intervals along the front
of the display serve to enliven it without dis-
tracting attention from the central caption of
the vaudeville artists. The background of sheet
music finally carries over the sales message of
the window, which is altogether a fine example
of a display that means something.
