Les Living Photographs de Frederick Downey (Avenue Theatre/Opera House, 10-23 juin 1903)

Frederick Downey présente des vues animées à l'Avenue Theatre en juin.

Sundeland Daily Echo and Shipping Gazette, mercredi 10 juin 1903, p. 1.

Un compte rendu publié par la presse locale offre quelques informations complémentaires sur le répertoire de vues animées :

THE AVENUE THEATRE.
The greater part of the entertainment at the Avenue Theatre this week taken up by two of Mr. John Lawson's own dramatic productions, and they and the variety artists' performances were last night witnessed by large audience. That thrilling act " Humanity" was one of the little plays produced, and the dramatic interest was as well maintained as ever, while the house wrecking struggle that leads to the final lost none of its excitement in last night's performance. The mounting was magnificent and the acting creditable to Mr Lawson and his company, Mrs Lawson, Miss Marian Rebecca Hood, Mr F. Bailey, Mr E. S. Vincent, and Mr J. S. Boom St. Joseph. The other production by these artists was "Sally in our Alley," a short play which certainly justifies the word "daring" applied to it on the playbills. Entertaining variety turns were also supplied by Witty Watty Walton, the comedian who made himself famous as the " Lady Slavey" bailiff, and who has a budget of funniosities ; Ben Nevis, another comedian who is clever in his line of business; Cissie Russell, a soubrette with charming dancing qualities; Leslie H. Murray, an astonishing magician and card manipulator, and Downey's living pictures, which include cinematographic views of the Newcastle Exchange Walking Contest, the arrival of Mr Chamberlain after his colonial tour, the launch of Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock III, and several comic sets.
