L'Edison Cinematographe de Frank St. Hill (Mechanics Institute, 9.11-12 janvier 1897)
Frank St. Hill organise quelques séances de projections animées en janvier au Mechanics Institute.
Coolgarie Miner, Coolgarie, jeudi 7 janvier 1897, p. 2.
Un article publié dans Coolgardie Miner offre quelques informations sur le cinématographe et son répertoire de vues animées :
The new startling electric wonder. Edison's Cinematographe. which during the past few months has been the rage of the Eastern capitals, and has caused such a furore in Perth, has now arrived in our midst. Extensive preparations are being made by Mr. Frank St. Hill for a grand initial opening at the new Mechanics' Institute to-morrow evening, when two separate exhibitions will be given, the first at 8 p.m., and the second commencing at. 9 p.m. The Cinematographe performance stands alone—nothing like it has ever been seen or been shown before. The audience seat themselves in the usual manner, and are immediately introduced to famous persons and celebrated artists as they appear nightly in their professional occupations on the reverse side of the globe. Not a stationary view, but as actual, living, moving, breathing individuals. To give an idea of its illimitable possibilities, the Melbourne Cup was taken, and shown on the stage in Sydney. We have not the slightest doubt that the public of Coolgardie will be quick to recognise it as one of the greatest scientific wonders the world has yet seen. The boxplan will open at 12 noon at Mr. Stein's, Rayley-street.
