The Velograph (Town Hall, 7-9 octobre 1897)
Le Velograph présente des vues animées à la Town Hall en octobre :
THE VELOGRAPH—One of the most interesting inventions of the day—to people generally—is the velograph, by means of which scenes and incidents that take place far away can be reproduced with all their life-like reality and movement. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday this week our readers have had opportunities of seeing the velograph at the Town Hall. Among the pictures produced were the Royal procession in London and other functions at the Diamond Jubilee, episodes of the Green-Turkish War, and a miscellaneous selection varied each evening. The pictures were successfully presented, but a more rapid manipulation of the mechanical apparatus in some instances would perhaps make them still better, and do greater justice to the photographic artist. The entertainment is varied with recitations, humorous and otherwise, by Mr. J. Blascheck, the Australian monologue entertainer. Those who desire to pass a couple of hours pleasantly should go and see the velograph.

POOLE'S ENTERTAINMENT.-The same of Poole has long been recognised as a guarantee of abundant amusement in pleasing variety, without vulgarity and at a very cheap rate. It was, therefore, not surprising to find a good attendance at the Town Hall on Monday night, when Messrs Harry and Fred Poole, with their entertainment sustained by gifted artistes, commenced a week's engagement with a programme of great variety. The old and tried Myriograph pictures were as popular as ever, and though we remember having seen some of them before, there was a number quite new, chief of which were those graphically portraying incidents of the war in the Far East and of modern submarine warfare. Animated photography has lost none of its charm, and two sets of excellent films were shown, including scenes of the Russia-Japan hostilities. The tub and high ladder performances of the Mitsutas, natives of Tokio, who have been secured at considerable expense, rank among the most sensational and clever once we have seen for some time Admirers of juggling were well catered for by Houston, "a wonderful Chinese magician," whose feats were very interesting. Geo French's troupe of bicyclists provided a capital show of trick riding and balancing, and the entertainment was brought to a close by an amusing skating performance by the Snow Family. Music was provided by Messrs Poole's own band, under the leadership of Mr M. Brierley. The entertainment was a thoroughly enjoyable one. Commencing on Thursday evening, an entirely new series of animated pictures was shown.
