An Improved Kinetoscope
NEW YORK, April 4.-A new invention by Thomas A. Edison was shown to a few favored persons at West Orange laboratory tonight. The new machine is really a grown-up kinetoscope, and is a success. Edison calls his latest invention the "vitascope," which, he says, means at machine showing life, and that is exactly what the new apparatus does. The vitascope is an improvement on the kinetoscope, by which moving life-size figures of men, women and animals are thrown upon a screen by means of bright lights and powerful lenses.
The first picture shown tonight was a colored panorama of a serpentine dance by Annabelle. The film roll on which the photographs were attached were arranged over a half-dozen spools and pulleys, and the machine was set in motion. Even the inventor himself was surprised at the result. Annabelle danced for five minutes and then a panorama of the English derby was thrown upon the screen.

Come and see the Graceful ANNABELLE perform the Serpentine Dance; every movement faithfully pourtrayed, and by a new and ingenious process, the NATURAL COLOURS of the face, hair, &c., and the beautiful tints of the drapery are shown, giving an absolutely lifelike affect to the reproduction.
