Mr. Lawrence has achieved considerable pr~minence in western musical circles and, . although he has been performing in ·theaters but a short time, he is said to he one of the highest salari ed cinema organists in thi s section. He ha s hee n featured in some o f Chicago's larges t picture house s. Lawrence, it is said, plays the classical.. anrl popular music with equal facthty. He ha s made a long and intensive study of sy nchronizing music with photoplays and has become particularly adept in this respect. He spends hours scoring each picture and - as a result his efforts greatly enhance the entertainment value of the photoplays he accompanie s. "Every picture," says Mr . . La\vrcnce, "requires a distinct musical interpretation of its own. Every picture has its own 'atmosphere' and this T strive to emphasize in my ac·companiments in order to make the effect as authentic as possible. That is whv l study each picture inclividuallv. jt is my aim to make music not a~ incident to a picture, but a complement to it. an integral part of the motif portran~cl on the screen."

Artist Braun Brothers Supply Trains· of Raw Material Oil for del Lago Heat Needed for New Theater Low gravity fuel oil is used for heating Teatro del Lago, which Braun Brot.hers Oil company, of 723 Oak street, Winnetka, are delivering by truck from their Winn~tka storage tanks. The large storage tank for this oil is underground on the theater premises, and has a capacity of onehalf car load, assuring a supply of fuel oil at all times, for the comfort of the theater patrons. Braun ~Brothers Oil company's tanks are located on Willow street at the Wau Bun station of the Chicago and Northwester 11 railroad, where, about t~o years ago, they erected numerous large tanks having a total capacity of 154,000 gallons, from which to supply their north shore patronage. They are also erecting storage tanks at Highland Park, where the tanks having a capacity of 200,000 gallons are expected to be installed in about two weeks, making this firm the largest dealers of fu~l oil on the north shore. The magic-l'ike speed with which Teatro del Lago, the new theater in ·" No Man's Land," has risen, becomes more impressive when one considers the materials used tin the structure as measured in carload lots. The materials for the building, except .t umber and tile, for the most part, were supplied by the Central Coal and Material company, of 1711 Church street, Evanstc,n, and Dundee road. Glencoe.
