A NEW CINEMATOGRAPHE.
The well-known theatrical manager, Mr. James MacMahon, returned from a flying trip to Europe on Saturday by the R.M.S. Arcadia. One of the objects of his visit was to secure the very latest machines for the production of animated photographs, which, as the cinematograph, are exciting such interest just now all over the world. For the better achievement of his purpose Mr. MacMahon visited all the principal cities of the Continent, and finally secured In Paris the instrument of M. Deminy [sic], a French inventor. Mr. MacMahon has the machine with him, together with a large number of novel and interesting subjects. He has furthermore been able to procure the necessary apparatus and blank films for taking and reproducing local subjects, and intends beginning with the Melbourne Cup. The Instrument is said to be one of the most elaborate and perfect up to date, and up to the time of Mr. Mac-Mahon's leaving London (September 11) had not been exhibited there, not withstanding its great vogue in Paris.
