Le Bioscope d'H. Spencer Clarke (Grand Theatre, <12> août 1899)
H. Spencer Clarke, qui a collaboré pendant quelque temps avec les sociétés Lever et Nestlé, propose désormais des séances avec son bioscope. À Gravesend, les séances ont lieu au Grand Theatre, vers la mi-août :
GRAND THEATRE.-This music hall was crowded in every part on the evening of Bank Holiday, a fact which the proprietors thoroughly merited, seeing that an excellent programme had been prepared. A feature was Mr. H. Spencer Clarke’s Bioscope, and not a few of theses animated photographs were of an amusing character. The descriptive songs by Mr. Arthur Combes were exceedingly well rendered, and Miss Doris Vere, comedienne; Sisters Vanderbilt, duettists and dancers; Miss Dot Forde, serio; Dante and Duval, tramp comedians; and Charles Rutland, comedian, were all immensely enjoyed. A military sketch by Harry Calden’s Combination, and entitled “Love and Duty,” had plenty of sensational parts in it and was pourtrayed with great success. “The Agent’s Office” was a very laughable sketch by the Eccentric Three. Another good programme is advertised for next week.

Mais on ne connaît pas le titre des vues présentées au public.

Le Myriograph d'Harry et Fred Poole présente des vues animées au New Public Hall and Theatre en mai :

1903
L'Eventographe de Charles W. Poole (Public Hall, 20-25 avril 1903)
L'Eventographe de Charles W. Poole présente des vues animées en avril :
POOLE'S MYRIORAMA AT THE PUBLIC HALL.-This entertainment-a household word-is too well-known to need introducing. Go all over the country, and you find that Messrs. Poole have made friends everywhere. Old and young alike look out with pleasure to their visit. Why? Because they are always producing something novel and fascinating for the amusement of the public. Their present visit to the Public Hall is no exception to their rule. [...] The Edison Poole Eventographe gives one an excellent impression of the Indian Durbar, the long procession of elephants in their georgeous trappings, with the howdahs occupied with Indian princes, being very realistic. Milton's marionettes, quite a show of themselves, conclude a popular entertainment. Those who have not yet visited the Public Hall should do so this (Friday) evening or to-morrow (Saturday) afternoon or evening.
Gravesend & Norhtfleet Standard, Gravesend, samedi 25 avril 1903, p. 5.
