THE EMPIRE On Monday the Empire, where the popular animated photographs were first introduced with success to London audiences, Professor Jolly showed by means of his improved apparatus a continuous view of the whole of the Jubilee procession. The films of photographes taken by the different instruments had been skilfully joined together, and the almost entire absence of vibration and flare and the extreme interest of the pictures made Professor Jolly's contribution to the evening's programme as successful as he could possibly have wished. On a good-sized screen were projected the moving photographs from no fewer than 22,000 negatives. The views had been taken from a good situation in St. Jame's Street, and the procession was seen approaching at a distance, and turning a corner came once again before the audience. Of course all the prominent people recognised were heartily cheered, especially Lord Roberts and the Colonials. When the eight cream-coloured ponies were seen approaching there was much enthusiasm, and everybody was pleased to see that the Royal carriage made two short stops, which gave the onlookers all the more time for showing their loyalty. The photographs were beautifully clear, and in the process of enlarging lost no detail. Two other subjects, which were inllustrated in colour, were a couple of Spanish dancers and an effective serpentine dance. The Empire entertainment is particulary good at present, including, as it it does, the last tableau from Monte Christo, the admirable divertissement Under One Flag, and some really clever variety performers.Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News, 24 July 1897, p. 15.
