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.
