L'eidoloscope (Grand Opera House, 4 janvier 1897)
En provenance de Shreveport, 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 :
Notes of the Stage
The scenic portion of Rosabel Morrison's production of "Carmen," which comes Monday to the Grand, is as elaborate a, 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 ss artistic. Her company is headed by Edward Elsner, who occupied a similar position with Mr. Morrison for several years. The bull-tight by the-famous Eidoloscope introduced in the last act of Miss Morrison's performance is a decided novelty. It runs fifteen minutes and shows the exciting scene in every detail true to the life.

Vitascope Pictures.
In the course of the entertainment, vitascope pictures showing a fire in a large four-story tenement building will be thrown on canvas. The pictures will shown people in the windows, waiting to be rescued by firemen, who climb up ladders through fire and smoke. One woman jumps from the third story and lands safely in a life net held by the firemen in the street. The pictures show the engines puffing and steaming in the streets, and the lines of hose, streams being played on the fire. The pictures were taken during a Chicago fire, and a fire tug is seen to steam up close by and go into action with a five-inch stream. The returning home scene, after the fire, is given. The complete set measures 450 feet, divided as follows: The start from the house and the run, 50 feet; the fire, the leap for life and the rescue, 200 feet; the return to quarters, 50 feet.

Les images animées d'Edward Shields (Unique Theatre, 8 janvier->4 février 1905)
Edward Shields présente des vues animées en janvier :
OBERAMMERGAU PASSION PLAY AT UNIQUE TODAY
Edward Shields of Portland, Ore., to Present Grand Moving Picture Spectacle.
There is an unwritten law that the original Oberammergau Passion Play, presented every ten years by the peasants of Oberammergau, Baviara, shall be presented no place else.
People have traveled thousands of miles to see it and it has been reproduced in paintings and stories. Cheap imitations of it have been attempted in this country, but with signal success.
Some time ago an enterprising firm of Paris went to Oberammergau and copied the seventeen big acts and twenty-six scenes and made a reproduction at a cost of $10,000.
The moving picture machine has made the nearest likeness to the spectacle which could possibly be presented without actually removing the play from its original home.
Edward Shields of Portland, Ore., will present the reproduction of the spectacle at the Unique Theater this afternoon and tonight in an entertainment which lasts more than two hours.
