"Majar" est l'un des deux responsables du cinématographe Lumière, avec "Pirot", qui est présenté à Lincoln (Nebraska) en février 1897 :
AT THE FUNKE.
Manager Moore of the Moore and Livingstone company, now playing at the Funke opera house, spent considerable time in investigating the merits of the different picture projecting machines now in use with the view of purchasing one. He could find nothing equal to the cineomatograph and as that cannot be purchased, was obliged to lease the machine at a very high rental. Not only do the Lumiere company absolutely refuse to sell these machines, but insist upon keeping them in their own possession. The machine now here is in charge of the original French operators, who brought it to this country. These gentlemen, Mons. Pirot and Majar guard the machine as if it were something sacred, never leaving it alone intact for a moment, and even refuse to allow the company to examine it closely. A visit to the Funke opera house any night this week will repay anyone interested in animated pictures. Tonight Moore and Livingston will present "A Brother's Crime."
