Le cinématographe de John Mackenzie (Drill Hall,  26 novembre 1901)

John Mackenzie organise une projection cinématographique :

BEAULY LIGHTING COMMITTEE'S ENTERTAINMENT.-The Committee who look after lighting and maintenance of the village lamps gave an entertainment on Tuesday in the Drill Hall in aid of the fund, the proceedings taking the form of a cinematograph exhibition by Mr Mackenzie, Inverness. The Hall was crowded to its utmost capacity, and it is gratifying to learn that the Committee will, after paying all expenses, have a good balance in hand. Among the most popular films thrown on the screen were pictures of Lord Lovat, the Lovat Scouts, the presenation of war medals by Mr Cameron of Lochiel at Inverness, the Invercharron Gathering, the parachute exhibition there, and the Cinderalla Pantomime. Many of the Scouts were from the Beauly district, and as they appeared in full marching order they were greeted with great outhursts of cheering. Mrs Wicks performed the musical part of the programme in efficient style, and Mr Mackenzie at the close thanked the audience for their attention. It is expected that the village may shortly be lighted with electricity, and so do away with these old-time paraffin lamps, which, besides their ungainliness, are a source of much expense to the villagers.
