La presse commente largement les projections du Cinématographe Lumière :

AMUSEMENTS.
THEATRE ROYAL.
At the initiation of the present season at the Theatre Royal it was generally conceded that Mr. Wybert Reeve had established a record, the entertainment as then constituted providing a programme of marvel and mystery which could not fail to meet with the enthusiastic support of theatregoers. Records, however, are made to be broken, and happy is the man who having previously beaten his competitors is still able to continue his victorious career until he places his own early achievements in the shade. This Mr. Reeve, judging from the general excellence and sensational nature of his new programme as presented at the Theatre Royal on Saturday evening, has done. The living pictures as shown by Lumiere's marvellous cinematographe naturally maintain their unique position in the bill, and that position is strengthened by the introduction of several new and remarkable views of Continental scenes and people. By the magic aid of the new photography the audience are transported to the palace gate at Berlin, and in the twinkling of an eye stand before the doors of the Gebr Stollwerck Factory Cologne, and watch the constant stream of happy workpeople freed from their daily toil and hurrying to their homes. A short interval and they behold the 25th Prussian Dragoons at jumping practice, and so realistic is the scene that they cannot withhold their cheers as the well-groomed horses and their gallant riders clear the hurdle which apparently borders on the footlights, nor stifle a groan asfrightened by the flutter of a pennant from its rider's staff one of the chargers curves playfully round the obstacle. Mons. Trewez [sic], who appears to be an obliging subject for the latest development of photographic science, contributes a decidedly clever and ingenious exhibition of plate spinning, and in his serpentine manipulation of a broad band of white ribbon proves himself an agile and dexterous performer. Among the other new pictures presented on Saturday evening may be mentioned twoquaint and characteristic scenes, "Thieving Pierrot" and "Daylight robbery," while the famous charge of the French Cuirassiers, repeated by request, again proved the most sensational of all the views, as the exquisite picture of the sea and breakers is the most beautiful. [...] The Misses Delroy and Lynn [sic] were heartily welcomed in their song and dance specialties, and Mr. Alfred Bushby contributed a song and dance, in which he gave a fairly successful imitation of Reuben Fax as Svengali. [...]The programme provided by Mr. Reeve is a singularly attractive and diversified one, and its.-repetition.during the week should certainly draw crowded houses.
