Le polyscope de William Selig (31 janvier 1901)
William Selig, à l'occasion du bal des mécaniciens, présentent plusieurs vues animées :
THE ENGINEMEN'S BALL.
Last Night's Event More Successful
Than Last Year's Ball.
The ball given last night by the Burlington enginemen was even more successful than the affair of last year.
[...]
The band from McCook played several selections before the first pictures were given and music alternated with each succeeding series. The pictures of railroad scenes showed the trains passing at lightning speed, with the smoke of the locomotives trailing behind. Another series illustrated the fireman's life and showed every detail from the time of the sounding of an alarm until the fire is reached. In a panorama view of a busy corner in Chicago the pictures had a double movement. The electric cars were seen rapidly passing in one direction with bicycles pedestrians and carriages crossing at right angles. W. N. Selig of Chicago was the cennamatograph artist in charge.
