À la mi-novembre, le Biograph s'installe au Bijou Theatre pour projeter des vues animées :

“Barn Fire," “American Rapids,” "A Hard Wash,” "Trilby,’' “Herald Square— First Alarm,” "Herald Square— Second Alarm,” "Rip,” "Union Square,” "Empire State Express," “McKinley and Hobart Parade,” “Canton, Ohio," "McKinley at Home."

Le Cinematographe de Felix Blei (The Metropolitan, 11-17 janvier 1897)
Felix Blei présente le cinematographe en janvier :
At the Metropolitan
For the first half of the coming week the Metropolitan will have a novel attraction in the engagement of the Schiller Vaudevilles, composed of a number of high class American and European specialty performers, who scored such a hit at the Schiller Theater, Chicago, that Manager Felix Blei banded them into a company and sent them entour to the leading cities, in each of which they have met with the same success as in Chicago. The company is made up of Grant and Norton, musical travesty artists; Dorothea Grey, contralto; Major Doyle, the Liliputian comedian; Sherman, an anatomical marvel; Colby and Way, ventriloqual duo, and the Deltorelli Bros., musical grotesques. An added and striking feature of the entertainment will be the introduction of animated photography; this is the "Cinematographe," and it is said to be far and away the best yet produced, as its inventor has overcome the imperfections that were noticeable in the other machines.
The Schiller Vaudevilles and the "Cinematographe" will be the attraction at the Metropolitan the first four nights of the week, with a Wednesday matinee.

HOLMES HERE TO-MORROW
SOME ATTRACTIVE NEW LECTURES
All to Be Illustrated, as Usual, in Color Supplemented With Motion Pictures.
Probably no other lecturer on travel ever went so carefully, conscientiously and thoroughly about his work of preparation for telling the public what he has seen as does Burton Holmes, who is to be here to-morrow and Saturday with three new lectures. Mr. Holmes always starts on of his lecture-making journeys with every arrangement that the foresight of an experienced traveler can suggest, to make his trip profitable. Since the introduction of motion pictures, Mr. Holmes has carefully followed their development, and now he is able to offer them as an important supplementary feature in connection with the colored lantern slides which furnish illustrations of the texts of the lectures.
In the Friday night lecture on "Along the Trans-Siberian Railway," Mr. Holmes starts at the Moscow terminal of the great road, and pushes on to the east so far as the great railway is built, then travels by steamer to the terminus of the eastern part of the line, and finally arrives at Valdivostok. The moving pictures in this country, so new to Americans, will show a Rusian courier train, a panoramic view of the Cheliabinks railway platform, the departure from Irkutsk, Moujiks eastward bound, a roadside lunch market, "The Ferry From Manchuria," taking soundings of the Shilka river, and number of others.
In the lecture on St. Petersburg, to be given Saturday afternoon, Mr. Holmes describes the entry into Russia, the Polish frontier, Warsaw, and all the wonders of the city of Peter the Great. In this lecture the motion pictures will show a gathering in the Warsaw ghetto, pretty Polish children, an exhibtion fire drill, the animated Nevski, the czar, czarina and empress dowager passing in review, the empresses and escort, the Preobrajenski and Paxoloski regiments, a thriling charge by Russian cavalry, a motion portrait of the czar, and a number of others of equal interest.
After his trip across Siberia Mr. Holmes dipped into China, and saw Peking as it was during the international occupation. This lecture on Peking, to be given Saturday night, is prefaced by some little account of the trip from Nagaski to Taku, a glimpse of Chee-Foo, the Taku forts, the Pei-Ho river Tientsin. Some interesting side-lights are thrown on the defense of the legations during the Boxer uprising, and a vivid picture is drawn of the city during its occupation by the international forces. The moving pictures, with this lecture, include a panorma of Taku, the arrival of a train from Peking, the tide of Tientsin traffic, jaunting in jinrikshas, arrival by rail at the Temple of Heaven, (!) a stream of Pekingese traffic, a dash by the British royal artillery, a charge by Bengal Lancers, a fantastic funeral.
The information that Mr. Holmes gives so pleasantly, about the great expanse of the world between St. Petersburg and Peking, in these three lectures, can, from what has been said, be readily believed to be invaluable.
Seats for these lectures may be obtained the Metropolian music store. They will be given in the auditorium of Plymouth Church.

Le Bioscope d'Oscar Depue et Burton Holmes (Auditorium of Plymouth Church, 3-4 janvier 1902)
Burton Holmes organise une série de conférences avec l'aide de son collaborateur Oscar Depue :
Burton Holmes' lectures have always been remarkable for the excellence of their illustrations. With the co-operation of this illustrator, Mr. Depue, Mr. Holmes has been able to create a splendid reputation as a leader in the application of the latest devices of lantern-slide illustration to lectures.
In the lectures he is to deliver at Plymouth church, in the New Century course, this week. Mr. Holmes introduces a novelty, vz.: moving panoramic pictures in color. This is the first time Mr. Holmes has brought these pictures to Minneapolis, and photographers will doubtless be greatly interested in them from a professional or amateur viewpoint, while the general public will be more than delighted with them as marvelous spectacles.
In the Friday night lecture on Sweden there will be shown some magnificent moving panoramas of the imposing water fronts of the roya city of Stockholm, throned on its islands between the lakes and the sea.
The panoramic vies for the Saturday evening lecture on "The Land of the Midnight Sun" are said to be magnificent. They give a remarkable verisimilitude of a cruise along the fascinating and yet forbidding coast of northern Norway.
From the section of a panorama herewith produced it is possible to imagine what the stereopticon scene in colors is to be.
The motion pictures in the two lectures show the beautiful falls of Trollhatten, Swedish street scenes, the great fish market and scenes of city life in Bergen and make real the most interesting experiences of the Nordland cruise-the landing at Torghatten in rough weather-the departure from Hammerfest, most northerly town in the world-the visit to the Laps of the Lyngenfjord and their herd of reindeer-the flight of millions of auks around the Rock of Birds and the passing of the North Cape by the light of the midnight sun.
Add, to those mentioned, many other panoramic views and motion pictures and scores of stationary pictures in color and one gets an adequate impression of what spectacular delights these superb lectures promise to be.
Aside from their delightful illustrations these lectures have a great attraction in their general subject matter. Sweden and Norway are countries of great interest to northwestern people, and Mr. Holmes accounts of his impressions of the countries and their strong and healthy people will be full of matter that will entertain if not instruct his auditors.
