NEWPORT

Jean-Claude SEGUIN

Newport est une ville du Pays de Galles (Grande-Bretagne).

1896

Le Cinématographe Lumière de Felicien Trewey (The Empire, 21 juillet 1896)

Le Cinématographe Lumière de Felicien Trewey s'installe à l'Empire:

THE EMPIRE (NEWPORT).
The great attraction at the cosy Charles-, street Hall is the Lumiere Cinematography, under the direction.of M. Trewey. As at Cardiff- this new feat of science was greeted with hearty plaudits, one and all present testifying to the fact that they had not seen such a marvellous show before. An excellent variety company are responsible for the remainder of the programme, and under able leadership each performance is well executed.

Le Cinématographe Lumière de Felicien Trewey (The Empire, 25 août 1896)

Le Cinématographe Lumière de Felicien Trewey est de retour à l'Empire à la fin du mois d'août :

THE EMPIRE (NEWPORT).
As at Cardiff last week so at Newport. At both performances on Monday evening the original Lumiere Cinematographe, under the able direction of Mons. Trewey, delighted large audiences. Besides this big attraction, there also appeared Tom and Lily English, the entertaining Americans; Miss Belle Harcourt, the Perman Trio, Van Gofre, Haig and Haig, and Miss Lena Brunton. The performance all round is one of high-class excellence, and thoroughly deserves the patronage bestowed upon it on Monday evening.

Le Cinématographe Lumière de Felicien Trewey (The Empire, <29 septembre->2 octobre 1896)

Le Cinématographe Lumière de Felicien Trewey revient pour la troisième et s'installe à l'Empire :

THE EMPIRE (NEWPORT).
Here the incomparable Lumiere Cinematographe was the principal attraction, and the new pictures shown under the supervision of Mr Trewey were of a very interesting and entertaining description. Ogust, the French clown and mimic, who scored such a big success at Cardiff, was also there, and his performance met with a most flattering reception. Supporting him were such talented artistes as George Mozart, the Brothers Lang, and the Sisters Bonehill.

1897

The Modern Marvel Co. (Bltyth Hall, 22 mars 1897)

The Modern Marvel Co. présente un spectacle non précisé, mais qui pourrait être, selon toute vraisemblance, des projections de vues animées avec le Zoegraph de Thomas James West.

The Dundee Courier, lundi 29 mars 1897, p. 1.

L'American Biograph (Newport Theatre, 12->12 juillet 1897)

L'American Biograph arrive en juillet au Newport Theatre :

NEWPORT.
The American Biograph, which has been recently creating such interest wherever exhibited, will be the principal attraction at the Newport Empire this weak. That uniquely popular cornedienne, Peggy Pryde; the O'Malleys, in Funology; Phil Ray, comedian and the three charming Sisters Macarte are other contributors to an excellent programme.

South Wales Daily News, lundi 12 juillet 1897, p. 3.

Le lendemain, le même journal offre quelques informations complémentaires :

THE EMPIRE (NEWPORT)
As at Cardiff las week the American Biograph was the principal attraction as the pretty hall in Charles-street. The life-size reproductions of pictures by the Biograph created a sensation, and here alos were to be seen and heard the inimitable Peggy Pryde, as well as a host of artistes of acknowledged talent. It goes without saying that the audiences waxed enthusiastic.

1898

Le Cinématographe de Nestlé et Lever Brothers (The Empire, 17 mars 1898)

Les sociétés Nestlé et Lever Brothers organisent des séances cinématographiques depuis le début de l'année 1897. C'est H. Spencer Clarke qui est le responsable de l'appareil. À Newport, une soirée est organisée, à l'Empire, le 17 mars 1898.

South Wales Echo, Thursday 17 Mars 1898, p. 4.

Même si son nom n'apparaît pas, on peut penser, malgré tout, que Clarke est bien aux manettes. Pour le reste, nous ne connaissons pas le programme de vues animées qui sont proposées.

1902

Le Myriograph de Joseph Poole (Tredegar Hall, >1^er avril 1902)

Le Myriograph de Joseph Poole présente des vues animées au Tredegar Hall en avril :

POOLE’S MYRIORAMA AT NEWPORT.
The Tredegar-hall Newport was packed twice on Easter Monday with crowds who delight to see the sights of the world and to hear and admire the pleasantries of the variety stage clustering around the banner of Mr. Joseph Poole. That enterprising entertainer and skilful variety organiser has excelled himself in the programme which he is enabled to put before holiday-makers this week at Newport. Standing alone, the myriorama has sufficient intrinsic interest to captivate and to make a good round entertainment of the customary length, but reinforced by the Poole Myriograph of animated photography (in which war scenes are presented with all the moving interest of the actual events) and a big galaxy of variety artistes the Tredegar-hall attraction is clearly one which runs quite in the forefront of the holiday attractions. The programme has been previously been submitted, so that a revisit is a renewed pleasure.
