HERALD SQUARE "VITASCOPED"
All of the animation, life and movement peculiar to Herald Square on any bright pleasant afternoon was depicted on photographic film by Raff and Gammon, by means of Edison's vitascope, yesterday afternoon, and the result will be shown at Koster & Bial's next week. the photographers settled down to work at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the square was crowded with cable cars, carriages and vehicles of all sorts, while now and then an "L" train would thunder by. They chose a window on the lower end of the square, where they were within full view of the Herald Building, and at the same time took in Broadway ans Sixth avenue for a radius of several blocks. Copies of the film will be sent to all parts of the world for use wherever a vitascope has been put up. The fountain in Central Park, with thousands of children playing about it, was also photographed yesterday.

The street cars moved along the elevated was visible at the extreme left, and men and women walked with various gaits and at different speeds along the street.

Boston Herald, Boston, 19 mai 1896.

A scene covering Herald Square in New York, showing the noonday activity of Broadway at that point as clearly as if one were spectator of the original seems incredulous, nevertheless is presented life-like. The cable cars seem to move in opposite directions and look real enough to suggest a trip up and down that great thoroughfare, while at the same time the elevated trains are rushing overhead, pedestrians are seen moving along the sidewalks or crossing to opposite sides of the street, everything moving, or as it is seen in real life.
