Le Cinematograph de Joseph Poole (Music Hall, 11 octobre 1897)
Joseph Poole présente son Myriorama dans un spectacle qui comporte également des projections de vues animées avec un cinematograph :
POOLE'S MYRIORAMA.
Myrioramas have come and gone, but it is doubtful whether a better entertainment of this description has ever visited Chester than the one — Mr. Joseph Poole's — which commenced a fortnight's stay in the Music Hall on Monday. There was a good audience which occupied nearly the whole of the body of the hall. By far the major part of the views which, by the way are splendidly executed, are altogether new, such up to date subjects as the recent blockade of Crete and the Turco-Greek war being excellently treated. The spectator is wafted by the conductor's magic wand to and from all the ends of the earth with the utmost facility and inconsequence, while the progress of the journeys is at intervals interrupted by the appearance of the various members of a clever variety combination; On Monday Engist and Orsa gave a thoroughly enjoyable performance as eccentric musicians, while West and Selby (who bear a great resemblance to the other pair mentioned) were convulsing in their comic conjuring sketch. Mr. V. Jean de Henau earned merited applause for his wonderful skill in painting with his feet. He executed a capital landscape scene with extraordinary rapidity. Other excellent items were songs by Miss May Finch, a performance by Madlle. Bena Aladina's cockatoos, tight rope walking by Herr Vogeler, and a gymnastic turn by the Salettos. The latter troupe consists of a man, a little girl, and a smaller boy, and their feats are remarkable. Mr. Felix Somers, in his entertainment 'People we know,' introduced various characters and celebrities with more than ordinary ability, while the cinematograph views were the best that have yet been given in Chester. Mr. Fred Mayor acted as guide.
