Gippsland Times, lundi 12 mars 1894, p. 3.

En 1896, il exploite un phonoscope :

THE PHONOSCOPE.-Mr Frank St. Hill, who informs us that he is Edison's sole representative for Australia for this new electric instrument, is sparing no expense for the opening season in Perth. The phonoscope is an ingenious combination of the Edison vitascope and the new loud-speaking concert phonograph, and shows distinctly celebrated people and famous artists, while all sound, such as music, song, story, &c., is perfectly audible.
The Inquirer and Commercial News, Perth, vendredi 26 mars 1897, p. 15.
 
 
À partir du mois d'août 1897, il fait équipe avec James Moodie. Désormais, il apparaît sous l'entreprise "St. Hill and Moodie's" (septembre 1898)
 

1902

Frank St. Hill -writes from Wellington, New Zealand, to the Melbourne representative of the "Referee," that he has been doing good business with his Blograph. He adds : "The Brough season is a big boorn here (N.Z.) ; Hawtrey is doing good business everywhere he goes, and Dix's companies are also doing very well. In fact, the show business hero is booming in all directions."Referee, Sydney, mercredi 26 février 1902, p. 10.

 

Frank St. Hill, proprietor of a biograph exhibition, was charged this morning before Mr. W. R. Haselden, S.M., with having exhibited to public view a certain picture of an immoral nature. Inspector Ellison prosecuted and Mr. Skerrett defended. His Worship incidentally stated that he had seen the biograph scene complained of Detective Rawle considered that the first object of the picture in question was an immoral suggestion, and the second object an illusion. After some discussion on the subject his Worship intimated that the exhibition had not struck him as being worse than was seen in some stage productions. The rapidity of movement was in favour of the scene, as it prevented the eye from gloating over it. The case had better not go any further. The police accordingly abandoned the prosecution.Evening Post, Wellington, vendredi 4 avril 1902, p. 4.
