Arthur Sullivan présente son Ripograph à Singapour en 1897. Il se rend par la suite à Calcutta :
THE RIPOGRAPH
Mr. Arthur Sullivan has reached Singapore with his "Ripograph" or giant cinematograph. A series of rapid photographs is taken of some interesting feature of everyday life, and these are reproduced by lime light on a screen forty feet square, every motion in the original scene being faithfylly reproduced. Mr. Sullivan claims that his are the largest life pictures in the world. They have certainly been much appreciated in India, and should not fail to attract good audiences to the Adelphi Hall, where there will be sessions every hour, commencing from 6.15 p.m. The Ripograph is due back in Calcutta shortly, and will only show for three nights here.
