Biograph Will Stay
[...]
Several changes in the pictures will be made this week. Sandow's performance, exhibiting the marvelous muscular development of this modern Apollo will be among the new pictures. It is said to be particularly perfect. The twisting and writhing of his muscles lilke knotted rope is as clearly shown as if the living Sandow was before the audience.

The Biographe.-The greatest triumph of the biograph, the American invention being exhibited at Willard Hall, was reached last night, when a moving photograph in original colors was thrown upon the screen. Sandow, the strong man, was the subject, and every motion of his immense muscles was plainty seen, while the colors were perfect.
