L'eidoloscope (Grand Opera House, 29 novembre-5 décembre 1896)
En provenance de Mobile, Rosabel Morrison est en tournée avec une nouvelle adaptation de Carmen, oeuvre de Proper Mérimée, dont l'originalité consiste à inclure, lors de la représentation la célèbre Bull Fight tournée au Mexique par Gray Latham :
Grand. Opera House.
Lewis Morrison and his "Faust" company gave another performance of "Richelieu" at the Grand Opera House last night. For the matinee to-day and to night's performance "Yorick's Love," the Morrison hit of last year, will be produced for the first time this season. On Sunday night Rosabel Morrison comes to the Grand Opera House with "Carmen." No play of recent years has attracted as universal interest as "Carmen." Its story is from the heart and its interest is intense. Its success is international, although but few actresses have been found who could thoroughly realize the possibilities of the character. It is said one of these is Rosabel Morrison, who has been known to American theatre-goers for her artistic performance of Marguerite in 'Faust." Her Carmen is reported to even excel her Marguerite. She has produced the new play without regard to cost, and has added the now famous eidoloscope to the equipment, with which is reproduced the famous bull fight in the last act.
