L'eidoloscope (Academy of Music, 12 novembre 1896)
Allentown, Academy of Music (1891)
© Lehigh County Historical Society
En provenance de Scranton, 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 à Mexique par Gray Latham :
Rosabel Morrison's "Carmen"
The scenic portion of Rosabel Morrison's production of "Carmen" is as elaborate as that of her father's famous production of "Faust". Both attractions are under the same management, and the methods which have been so successfully exploited in Mr. Morrison's tours will doubtless achieve similar results with Miss Morrison, whose acting is artistic to the minutest detail. Her company is headed by Edward Elsner who occupied a similar position with Mr. Morrison for several years. The bull fight by the famous Eidoloscope introduced in the last act of Miss Morrison's performance is a decided novelty. "Carmen" will be presented at the Academy on Thursday evening, Nov. 12.

L'Animotiscope de Lyman H. Howe (Zion's Reformed Church, 11 janvier 1897)
Lyman H. Howe présente son animotiscope en janvier :
Something New.
Professor Howe has kindly consented to reproduce for the first time the Black Diamond Express running at the rate of sixty milles an hour in his animotiscope entertainment. The animotiscope is to the eye what the phonograph is to the ear, showing objects in all their life and motion. This entertainment will be held in Zion'a Reformed Church next Monday evening for the benefit of the Church Aid Society.
