Le cinematescope de C. W. Locke (Town Hall, 7 octobre 1896)
Charles W. Locke, accompagné de Douglas Beaufort, organise une séance de projections animées et de ventriloquisme au début du mois d'octobre:
ELGIN—" ANIMATED PHOTOGRAPHS."—On Wednesday evening the public of Elgin had an opportunity of enjoying, in the Town Hall, a unique form of entertainment—the "Animated Photographs." This is the first occasion these photographs have ever been exhibited in Elgin, and the way in which they were produced was so very natural—owing, no doubt, to the unconsciousness of the subjects while being taken —that their appearance called forth rounds of applause. The "photographs" thrown on the screen included scenes in the streets, the railway station, seaside views, and several processions, the principal one being the Czar's coronation. The movements of men and animals were so lifelike that one could almost fancy he was looking on the real scenes, instead of their being reproduces by means of instantaneous photographs. The cinematescope was manipulated by Mr C. W. Locke, London. Although the photographs were the most interesting part of the programme, the main part was sustained by Mr Douglas Beaufort, who performed conjuring tricks, gave a ventriloquial entertainment, and contributed several musical sketches. His card tricks were most appreciated, although his other performances were of no second-class order. The arrangements for the exhibition were carried out by Mr John Watt, bookseller, the local agent for Messrs J. Marr, Wood & Co, in a highly satisfactory manner.

ELGIN CINEMATOGRAPH. — Last night a cinematograph exhibition was given in the Salvation Army Citadel by Brigadier and Mrs Noyce. There was a very large and appreciative audience. The pictures were numerous and varied, and included such scenes as "Scenes at the Farm Colony, Hadleigh," "A Trip round the London Zoological Gardens," "Physical Drills by Scotch Children," "Our Shimmers at Work," "Our Slummers at Play," "The Illustrious Living," "Our honoured Dead." A large number of high-class coloured dissolving views were also thrown on the screen, the pictures being explained by Brigadier Noyce. The pictures were exceptionally fine, and the entertainment was thoroughly enjoyed.

Le cinématographe de l'Armée du Salut (Salvation Army Citadel, 29-30 avril 1904)
L'Armée du Salut organise des séances cinématographiques sous la direction de Frederick Cox et Henry Howse en avril :
CINEMATOGRAPH.-On the evening of Tuesday and Wednesday cinematograph exhibitions were given in the Salvation Army Citadel, South Street, before fairly large gatherings. Portraits of important Army officers were thrown upon the screen, and as each appeared, Major Cox, the lecturer, gave a brief sketch of the individual's life and field of labour. The exhibition embraced the following subjects: Emigrants boarding and leaving ship, Scotch children at physical drill, " slummer's' " trip to Canada at army's expense, journey on Canadian Pacific Railway, Hudson River and its traffic, funeral cortege of Consul Mrs Booth Tucker, a day in the Zoological Gardens, work of Salvationists in London, &c. Between the various runs of the cinematograph, coloured views, embracing notable American and Anglican landscape features, were interspersed. Sacred guitar solos were tastefully rendered by Mrs Ashby. Creditable as the pictures were, the remarkably slight flicker betrayed on the screen added considerably to the general satisfaction. Major Cox created repeated outbursts of merriment by his original and humorous remarks, while his skilful accompaniment on the piano was very effective. Adjutant Howse, the operator, manipulated his instrument with ease and readiness, the outcome of long practice. On the whole, the Army is to be congratulated on the quality of the exhibitions, which, considering the moderate charge for admission, were certainly well worth better audiences. Similar entertainments for children, commencing at 6,30 p.m. each evening, were equally interesting, with larger attendances.
