1896
The Biograph (Grand Opera House, 4 et 12 décembre 1896)
Une soirée de vues animées est organisée au Grand Opera House avec le Biograph :
CLEVELAND’S MINSTRELS.
The World' Latest and Greatest Wonder, The Marvelous Biograph.
The talk of New York City. The identical views will be presented precisely as were shown at Hammerstein's Olympia—at which to wonder vast multitudes gathered at every exhibition. Among the most notable are Niagara Falls and Niagara Upper Rapids, a most Realistic Reproduction of "America's Greatest Wonder." The overpowering effect of Niagara's tireless rush of seething waters vividly reproduced. Empire State Express taking water and running at a speed of 60 miles an hour. Stable on fire, vivid picture of rescuing live stock. etc. Trilby and Lillie Billie kissing scene. Joseph Jefferson, toast from Kip Van Winkle. A Hard Wash, from sunshine-to storm in a Darktown home. McKinley and Hobart Parade at Canton, Ohio—note antics of the now famous Racoon which is carried upon a pole alongside of Hobart's Portrait, and Major McKinley at Home. After having entertained representatives of the New York Sound Money Delegation, he walks across his lawn, receives, opens, and with a look of joy, reads a telegram from the Republican National committee informing him that he has carried "The Golden East" and several doubtful States, after which he bows to a lot of enthusiastic admirers as they doff their hats, cheer, and wave their hands and handkerchiefs, etc. In the different political parades, at Canton, to be seen, are those from every section of the United States, and the faces of many Prominent Men from this vicinity will be recognized. All the above and many other striking views, all so true and real, as to cause the auditors to fairly jump out of their seats, and to stand amazed and applaud Edison's Vitascope Eclipsed. Lumiere's Cinematograph Completely Outdone.
The wonderful Biograph can be seen at the Grand Opera House, Fredonia, on Friday evening of this week. Reserve seat tickets now on sale at Matteson's at from 25c to 75.
