Content: Manufactured by the Saint Louis Calcium Light Company. Lyrics by L. Wolfe Gilbert. Music by Kerry Mills.
Biographical/historical: Glass lantern slides were commercially created positive transparencies on glass that were viewed through a magic lantern, an early type of image projector. Slides were a popular medium for promotional materials from the late 1800s through the 1920s. They were commonly used to advertise new music releases, and typically screened at movie theaters before or between films. The images on these slides illustrated the songs' themes through hand-tinted photographs or transcriptions of the lyrics. Many illustrations depicted men and women enacting romantic scenes described in the music.
