L'animatoscope de Lyman D. Howe (Enterprise Hall, 27 janvier 1897)
Lyman D. Howe présente l'animatoscope à l'Enterprise Hall :
JERMYN AND MAYFIELD
The animatoscope and phonograph entertainment to be given this evening under the auspices of the Crystal Fire company in Enterprise hall promises to be one of the most successful entertainments of the season. *The Sun" of Danville recommends the entertainment in the following:
"Prof. Lyman D. Howe gave a highly interesting entertainment in the Opera house last made up of remarkable life-motion pictures of the animatoscope and a large number of very catchy selections from the phonograph reproduced from distinguished singers, orchestras, impersonators, etc., performing on the metropolitan stage. By means of a funnel-shaped appliance attached to the phonograph every selection reproduced was to be heard distinctly in all parts of the house. The audience derived much enjoyment from the realistic sounds issuing from the phonograph and expressed their appreciation by frequent applauses. It was the animatoscope, however, that was looked forward to with the greatest interest, as it was the first appearance here of this new and novel invention. Nor was the audience disappointed. On a large screen in the rear of the stage, scene after scene was reproduced from real life, the objects going through with their natural lite-movements. There were fire scenes, in which the smoke was seen to suddenly escape in a volley as the door of the burning building was opened, while several horses one after other came galloping out from the flames-scenes in which the fire engine rattled by to the scene of the fire and later of the fire itself with firemen on a ladder receiving from an upper window children in their night clothes who in succession they passed to the ground. There were a great variety of scenes many of them amusing, the phonograph reproducing the sounds suited to the action in the picture. The performance closed with a view of the ocean, the swelling breakers rolling in to the shore, carrying with them all the awe and sublimity of the original."
