L'eidoloscope (Grand Opera House, 7-8 novembre 1896)

Rosabel Morrison est en tournée avec une nouvelle adaptation de Carmen, oeuvre de Proper Mérimée, dont l'originalité consiste à inclure, lors de la représentation la célèbre Bull Fight tournée au Mexique par Gray Latham :

The bull fight- which Rosabel Morrison introduces in her production of "Carmen," through the instrumentality of the wonderful eidoloscope views, as series of still photographic views, as some of the more credulous might infer, but is an actual reproduction of the genuine article, with the living, breathing participants in action. Lasting continuously without cessation for a full quartet of an hour the effect cannot be adequately described in words. At the Grand on Friday and Saturday, with a special matinee on Saturday.

L'Animotiscope de Lyman H. Howe (YMCA Auditorium, 4 décembre 1896)

L'animotiscope de Lyman H. Howe va présenter des vues animées au début du mois de décembre :

The Animotiscope.
A new triumph of scientific photography will be exhibited at the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium Friday, Dec. 4. This exhibition comprises the most wonderful reproduction of living scenes and objects in motion ever witnessed. accompanied by realistic sounds and music. The machine is run by an electric motor and connection made with the regular electric light service, thus giving a brilliantly lighted scene. The pictures are alert with activity. They do everything but speak. Combined with the animotiscope a number of selections will be given by Edison's new phonograph, reproducing sounds from nature and music by the great masters. This phonograph is very powerful and can be heard by an audience of three thousand people at one time, The selections given are the very finest, such as Sousa's and Gilmore's, bands, songs, quartets, instrumental solos and humorous sketches by America's greatest musicians and vocalists. The proceeds will be given to the First Baptist Church to be used in the erection of their new church building.
