En décembre, un article offre quelques informations complémentaires :

The wonderful Edison kinetoscope has been on exhibition in England Brothers store this week, and Pittsfield people have had a splendid opportunity to witness the workings of this most marvelous machine. As one gazes down through the aperture in the top of the cabinet, he sees a veritable "living picture." A French dancer was giving an exhibition when we looked into the machine, and every motion she made was perfectly reproduced. So perfectly is the thing done that one could almost hear the "swish" of her skirts as she circled gracefully about. At one side sat a man playing a violin, while every motion of two men at the back of the stage can be seen. Truly, enough, Edison is a "wizard." His kinetoscope is simply a marvel, and as one witnesses its reproduction of motion, he can but wonder "what next?'' We wonder if Pittsfleld people really appreciate the enterprise of England Brothers in bringing this wonderful machine here?
