Les origines (<1896)
Le nom de Frank St Hill apparaît, en Australie, au début de l'année 1894. Il propose alors, avec la complicité de l'opérateur J. Harcourt Fraser, des auditions avec un phonographe.
Gippsland Times, lundi 12 mars 1894, p. 3.
Il se dit représentant du Phonograph Edison
It will be seen by advertisement in another column that Messrs. St Hill and Fraser, representatives of Edisons Phonograph, are now visiting this town and have opened a Phonograph Parlor in those premises next the Bank of Australasia, when they will exhibit Edisons latest perfected Phonograph, as exhibited at the Worlds Fair, Chicago.
Warragul Guardian and West Gippsland Advertiser, Warragul, mardi 20 mars 1894, p. 2.
Les deux associés exploitent alors leur phonograph, principalement dans la zone de Gippsland et dans la Tambo Valley. Des rumeurs mettent en cause l'honnêteté des deux hommes, ce dont se défend Frank St Hill :
A FALSE RUMOR.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE ADVERTISER.
Sir,-As it appears some persons have made it their business to state publicly that Messrs St. Hill and Fraser's phonograph company left Gippsland in debt, I wish to emphatically deny any such statement. I am prepared to show receipts for their whole trip through Gippsland, including Omeo, Glen Willes, Bruthen, etc. I think it is a great pity such people do not pay more attention to their own business.-Yours, etc.,
FRANK ST. HILL.
Bairnsdale.
Bairnsdale Advertiser and Tambo and Omeo Chronicle, Bairndale, jeudi 22 novembre 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.
Les images animées (1896-1903)
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.
