À l'Opera House, l'Amet Magniscope projette des vues animées en janvier :

The Magniscope
A decided novelty, one that has caused columns of favorable comment in all the scientific papers in the country, will be presented at the Opera House next Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings with matinee Friday and Saturday. The latest invention for projecting moving pictures the Amet Magniscope. This wonderful invention has been explained so often in the papers that a description is unnecessary.
In the Magniscope these pictures are thrown through a lens and appear on a screen magnified 600 diameters. So natural are the pictures shown by this machine that to one sitting in the audience it almost appears as if living people were on the stage. Every scene is an exact reproduction in color, size and action of the original from which it is photographed.
Edison's latest Elextrical Phonograph will also be introduced, playing all the popular airs of the day. 300 beautiful dissolving views will also be shown. Popular prices will prevail, viz: 15 and 25 cents.
