NINETEENTH CENTURY WONDER.
The possibilities of instantaneous photography in fixing life motion on a moving film and of the Magniscope reproduce the life motion with absolute fidelity is superbly illustrated in the Magniscope exhibition which is now creating such a sensation wherever shown. The Magniscope is an American invention, and it is far ahead of all other similar devices for producing animated pictures that no comparison can do it justice. All the latest improvements known to science have been added to the Magniscope, and its reproductions are so life-like that it is impossible to describe the subjects accurately. Every scene is natural in movement and expression, the comedy scenes are cleverly taken, and those representing scenes from military life are realistic to a wonderful degree, and they are all made marvelously effective by the splendidly worked effects appropriate to each scene. The Amet Magniscope and Edison Concert Phonograph combined will furnish one of the most amusing, effective and marvelous exhibitions ever introduced in this or any other country. It will be at the Library hall Feb. 15 for a week.

L'Amet Magniscope (Library Hall, 14->17 février 1897)
Des séances de projections animées avec l'Amet Magniscope ont lieu en février au Library Hall :
THE MAGNISCOPE.
The Magniscope exhibition at Library hall last evening was worthy a much larger attendance. The entertainment is exceptionally unique and amusing. The Amet Magniscope will be presented each evening this week by Messrs. Philion and Kupp the hall should be crowded to the doors. The possibilities of instantaneous photography in fixing life motion on a moving film and of the Magniscope to produce that life motion absolute fidelity is superbly illustrated in the exhibition which created such sensation last night. The Magniscope is an American invention, and it is so far ahead of all other similar devices for producing animated pictures that no comparison can do it justice. All the latest improvements known to science have been added to the Magniscope, and its reproductions are so life-like that it is impossible to describe the subjects accurately. Every scene is natural in movement and expression, the comedy scenes are cleverly taken, and those representing scenes from military life are realistic to a wonderful degree, they are all made marvelously effective by the splendidly worked effects appropriate to each scene. This is especially true of the moving express train, its arrival at the station, the getting on and off of the passengers, the handling of the baggage, etc. This realistic production always arouses the greatest enthusiasm, and the same may be said of every subject exhibited. Nothing has ever been shown in this city to approach the effect of the galloping horses and the soldierly bearing of all their riders as they dash across the plain, raising clouds of dust that almost obscure the glittering armor of the military. The Lone Fisherman, the Comical Watermelon Party, Washington Market in New York, the Sea Waves, Niagara Falls, etc., etc. These are only a few of the many beautiful subjects that may be seen by attending the Magniscope exhibitions as presented with every attention to details. These scenes are occasionally interrupted by photographic and instrumental selections.

THE PASSION PLAY.
THE ATTRACTION AT THE TEMPLE THIS AFTERNOON AND TO-NIGHT.
At the Temple, this evening, Kline's cinematograph opens for two nights. This is an attraction of a class and kind that we see here but seldom, and can hardly fall of having packed houses, their prices being low and the entertainment first-class. They come here from South Bend. where, after ten nights of good business, their closing night was the largest in the history of the house for a popular-price attraction, as we are assured in a personal letter from Manager Williams. The subjects they present are the sublime Passion Play, in motion pictures, just as given at Oberammergau the past. summer, and the battles, camp scenes, marches, etc., of the Cuban, Chinese and Philippine wars. All of these are given nightly in masterful shape. Thus those of our people who have been Interested in the magazine and newspaper articles all summer of the wonderful passion play as presented at Oberammergau, and written by such writers as Stead, O'Rell and Bierce, can see it here at home. The crucifixion scene, for instance, film requiring fourteen minutes to run, opens with the nailing to the cross and closes with the death of Christ on the cross. The tableaus are intensely, almost terribly realistic, and no one should miss seeing them, or having their children see them. It la history, education, and divine sentiment. combined. The second part of the program deals with our last [wais] in all lines of action, from the departure of the troops to the 30 battle fields. The prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents: ladies free to-night. Matinee at close of school, 10 and 20 cents to all parts of the house.

Un compte rendu du directeur du Masonic Temple est publié quelques jours plus tard :
MANAGER'S ANNOUNCEMENT.
The excellent reception accorded the Passion Play as presented by Kline's Cinematograph during the past two days and nights has prompted me to secure them for a reappearance here, feeling that our people take great interest in these certainly very meritorious and interesting scenes. Their only open time this season is Saturday and Sunday of this week, and they will be at the Temple, giving a matinee for ladies and children at 2:30 this afternoon; price 10 cents to children, 20 cents to adults; this evening, prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents; a lady admitted free with each 30 cent ticket; plat now out. In order to afford an opportunity for those to see these pictures whose business will make it impossible for them to attend on Saturday, there will be a performance Sunday evening and the program will not start until 8:30, so that those who wish to come after church services are out can do so. Many will desire to bring their families, and to that end children will be admitted to any part of the house for 10 cents; adults, 20 and 30 cents. As this will be the last time this season, and probably for all time, that the Passion Play will be at my house, it will be well to see it at one of these performances.
Very respectfully, etc.
F. E. STOUDER,
Manager Temple.

Le Cinematograph d'Isaac Kline (Temple, 8 février 1902)
Isaac Kline présente son cinématographe en février :
THE M'KINLEY PICTURES.
An attraction of more than usual importance is the coming to the Temple on Saturday, Feb. 3 [sic] with Saturday matinee, of the famous Kline cinematograph. This is one of the very few moving picture machines touring the country which can be absolutely depended upon to do all that it advertises to do. It has been here each year for the past five years. This exhibition will be far in advance of those of former years, because the scenes, presented are of deeply engrossing interest. The main films to be presented will be the last scenes in connection with the life of President McKinley. Among them is a moving picture made of the president at the time he was making his last public address at Buffalo. Another film shows the remains leaving the Milburn house. Mr. Roosevelt and the members: of the cabinet walk down the steps and the likenesses secured of these distinguished Americans are wonderfully-life-like. Another is the complete funeral cortege at Washington, with the hearse, the carriages, the bands, the marching troops, the artillery. All march past in the rain. Then the camera follows the procession to capitol, and a picture is made of the imposing procession up the capitol steps, with the thousands of people standing, near by with raised umbrellas. These pictures are the finest and most realistic ever made, and at this time are particularly interesting. The prices for the matinees are 10 and 20 cents to all parts of the house. Evening prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents. Plat now out.

HIGH CLASSE VAUDEVILLE
Audiences Were Pleased With Entertainment by Shields Company
High-class vaudeville, with no horse-play; an acrobatic act that stands unequaled; beautiful pictures by the polyscope, a new impersonator of coon songs and interesting illustrated talks, sums up briefly the refined entertainment which the Edward Shields company is putting on at the Temple theater this week for four performances, beginning yesterday matinee.
[...]
Mr. Shields gave a short, snappy illustrated talk about the Mormons. Mr. Shields has the happy faculty of departing from any path set by any other lecturer, and he never loses his audience. The talk was not long and the most important slides depicted the "Garden of the Gods," "Royal Gorge," "Marshall Pass" and many views of Salt Lake City.
The production plays at popular prices and gives a two hours' entertainment. The picture stories are interesting and present pretty or thrilling stories, as Mr. Shields believes in only the clean and sweet sort of things, whether in pictures or acting. The programs name the subjects for the polyscope and it would be impossible to tell which was the most liked by the audience, as there is no time given for aplause. The shoot!ng of an oil well at Muncie, the "wonderful rose tree," which pictures the famous magical work of an East India adept; the runs by the Marion (Ind.) the Denver (Col.) fire departments were as lifelike as possible, without the accompanying noise of real life.
New specialties will be given by Miss Sherman and Mr. Shields to-day. The illustrated talk will be on Russia.
