L'eidoloscope (Foster's Opera House, 20 janvier 1897)
En provenance de Cedar Rapids, 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 eidoloscope is the most costly feature ever introduced in any thatrical performance. It is, however, worth the expense attached to it, as it has proven one of the most potent magnets that has ever been offered for the approval of a wondering public. The bull fight, which is produced in the last act of Rosabel Morrison's production of "Carmen," which is to be the attraction at Foster's opera house next Wednesday evening, is the most startling incident ever seen under similar conditions. The sensation on witnessing it is indescribable. Seats on sale at Opera House pharmacy.
