Quelques jours plus tard, un autre journal offre un nouvel article :

GIBBONS' PHONO-BIO-TABLEAUX.
Under favourable auspices Walter Gibbons' Phono-Bio-Tableaux were presented to fairly large audience in the Kinnaird Hall last night, and judging from the success of the entertainment crowded houses should the rule during Mr Gibbons' two weeks' sojourn Dundee. Quite a new feature in regard to animated pictures is the portraying of well-known music hall artistes, while by the aid of the phonograph the ditties particularly identified with the performers are. given the audience. Vesta Tilley, Vesta Victoria, Hawthorne, Alec Harley, and the American Comedy Four are introduced by this means. The phonograph played another important part in the pictures showing the C.l.V.'s leaving Southampton for London. It produced the puffing and snorting of the engine and the shouting of the crowds and the men as the train steamed off. The animated pictures were of great variety, local views taking prominent part, including the workers in Ward Foundry, Gilroy's factory, Lower Dens mill, Keiller's preserve and chocolate factory, and Chapelshade mill leaving their employment. Songs were sung by Mr Charles Baring, and orchestral accompaniments added greatly the enjoyment of the evening.
