En provenance d'Adelaide, Charles MacMahon va installer son phonoscope sur Argent-street :
The Phonoscope, a most interesting combination of the phonograph and kinetoscope, each in itself a marvellous invention, is now on view in Argent-street, and was on Saturday night visited by a steady throng.
Mr. Charles M'Mahon, the well-known Victorian entrepreneur, has secured the Cosmopolitan Hall, and will bring up a strong company to open there on March 7.

Il semble pourtant que Frank St Hill reprenne l'exploitation du phonoscope comme on peut le lire dans l'article suivant :
THE PHONOSCOPE.
IF scientific men were asked what was the latest standing wonder in the electrical world they would almost undoubtedly fay the phonoscope. Though wonderful at the phonograph may appear, recording by means of its delicate mechanism songs, band music, speeches, and instrumental selections of today for the benefit of those who live generations hereafter, yet here we have another miracle which enables us to see the actual living artists as they appear in their professional occupations, and at the same time to hear all round uttered by them. It should be distinctly understood that these are not imaginary scenes, emanating from the pencil and brush of an artist, but are actual reproductions of scenes and events which have actually taken place. The phonoscope is on exhibition in Argent-street, next the Oriental Hotel. Three subjects are being reproduced at present, namely, the American auctioneer, a French danseuse, and an English comic singer. To watch the French lady artist as she glides along in her white satin dancing costume, keeping time to her accompaniment, to see her movements throughout the dance-it is wonderful indeed. The manager (Mr. Frank St. Hill) has spared no expense in making the exhibition both attractive and comfortable, and it should be witnessed by many.
