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.
The Times-Picayune, New Orleans, samedi 28 novembre, 1896, p. 7.
Les représentations vont se prolonger jusqu'au samedi 5 décembre.

1899
Le Vitagraph de William A. Reed (Crescent Theatre, <9> octobre 1899)
"Mlle. Fifi" at the Crescent Theatre.
[...]
Besides the performance, a treat is given in the presentation for the first time here of the Dewey scenes by the American Vitagraph Company. They are good pictures and show the admiral and the Olympia, and each picture is strong and life-like. The applause was generous and proved the patriotism of the audience. The scenes are:
A panoramic view of the Olympia.
Receiving of Mayor Van Wyck and the reception commitee by Admiral Dewey.
Departure of Mayor Van Wyck and the committee.
Arrival of Dewey at the city hall.
Presentation of the loving cup to Dewey by Mayor Van Wyck at the city hall.
Start of the Dewey parade from Grant's tomb, led by Sousa's Band.
The West Point cadets.
Dewey reviewing the parade at the Dewey arch.
Parade from the white house, Washington, led by Dewey and President McKinley.
Presentation of sword to Dewey by Secretary Long and President McKinley.
The splendor of this part of the programme is due to Prof. W. A. Reed, who made a flying trip to New York, helped in getting the big task through and hurried back, reaching here yesterday morning, and with all this haste he gave a capital exhibition. Of this vitagraph exhibition the New York Sun of last Friday said:
At both Keith's and Koster & Bial's pictures of the Dewey celebration are shown. At the latter house remarkable rapidity in developing the films is manifest. On Tuesday pictures of the Washington reception to Dewey that were taken Tuesday were developed on the train from the capital and exhibited here at the Wednesday matinee. Aside from the remarkably quick work these photographs are as clear as any that have been seen. One shows the president presenting the admiral with the sword of honor. McKinley makes a speech employing many gestures, which are rather ridiculous when unaccompanied by words. Dewey wipes away a few tears and then makes his own address. Another picture of the admiral shows him pacing the deck of the Olympia shows him pacing the deck of the Olympia awaiting the arrival of Governor Roosevelt and his companions. Dewey stops frequently to look over the rail, and seems to become impatient. Finally the expected guests arrive and exchange greetings. Before they go the whole party poses for a photograph, which the vitagraph shows being taken, photographer and all. We are so used to seeing illustrations of groupe of well-known men that it is amusing to see them take their places before the camera.
