Le Biographe (Bruce Opera House, 1^er juillet 1897)

Le Biographe est présenté au public au Bruce Opera House en juillet :

The Biographe
It is doubtful if a more enthusiastic lot of people ever attended an entertainment in Canastota than the crowds that witnessed the work of the wonderful biograph in Bruce Opera House Thursday evening and last evening. After each picture exhibited the applause was tremendous. Canastonians are proud of the fact that the machine is a product of the village. George W Chapman announced the views [froid] the stage as they are about to appear and every time he mentioned the name of the inventor Herman Casler, or referred to the manufacturer, Marvin & Casler. Thursday night, there was lots of cheering. Thursday evening the engine that furnishes the power broke down as the thirteenth picture was being exhibited. The audience was somewhat disappointed in not being able to see all of the views on the program— there are twenty-seven different ones each evening-but as all present, who desired it, were given a half rate admission last evening, “there is no kick coming.’’ The biograph is to be seen again tonight and no one should miss being at the opera house.
