Le Cinématographe Lumière de Félicien Trewey (Empire, 15->9 juin 1896)
Félicien Trewey annonce son cinématographe Lumière :
THE THEATRES
[...]
At the Empire, the original "Cinematographe" will be introduced by M. Trewey.
Newcastle Evening Chronicle, Newcastle, lundi 15 juin 1896, p. 3).
La présentation a lieu le 15 juin à l'Empire Theatre :
EMPIRE THEATRE, NEWCASTLE.
Notwithstanding the excessive heat last night, there was a capital house at the Empire. in Newgate Street. Newcastle. Although the current week's programme is an excellent one from the purely music hall standpoint, the great attraction is the "Cinematographe" exhibition, which has been brought from the London Empire, where it has had a long and successful run. It is under the personal direction of M. Trewey, a sleight-of-hand artist and shadowgraphist of unique standing. Most music hail patron; are more or less familiar with the "Cinematographe" Local music hall goers have had ere this an opportunity of seeing what this marvellous production of photographic science is capable of doing, but since the last exhibition of the sort in Newcastle considerable improvement is noticeable in the clearness of the photographs thrown on the screen and in the distinctness of the movements of the figures in the photographs. Some of the views are most realistic, particularly that showing the arrival of a train at the station, the alighting and embarking of passengers and the departure of the train; that of a falling well with the accompanying cloud of dust; that of a small boat and its occupant rising and falling with the waves of the sea; and that of waves breaking on the shore. There are many other views representing a variety of incidents portrayed with remarkable fidelity. This engagement promises to be a great success.

Le Cinématographe Lumière de Félicien Trewey (Empire, 2 août 1896)
Félicien Trewey est de retour avec son cinématographe Lumière qui inaugure ses séances le 2 août :
THE CINEMATOGRAPHE AT THE EMPIRE THEATRE
Last-night at the Empire Theatre, Newcastle, there was a largely attended primate view of the original Lumiere Cinematographe. The great success attending its exhibition at the Empire a few weeks ago led to another week's production of this wonderful development in the art of photography. Monsieur Trewey. the manager of the exhibition bring to Newcastle on this occasion several new pictures, which are instinct with life and animation. The greatest interest was attached last night to the views depicting scenes connected with the coronation of the Czar of Russia. The picture showing the procession of the various Asiatic Potentates, with their well-defined types, was intensely absorbing, while that of Their Majesties travelling in the State Carriage depicted very clearly the magnificence of the Imperial pageant. A thrilling scene was that which showed the calling out of a Fire Brigade, the members of which responded very smartly to the alarm. "Hyde Park at Noon" showed to what extent the bicycle craze has extended in fashionable circles, as the greater proportion of those who were not on foot were seen to be careering along in the happiest of fashions, ladies as well as men vieing with each other in the pace they kept tip. "The Changing of the Queen's Guard at St. James's Palace" was peculiarly life-like, while the manoeuvering of a squadron of cuirassiers wan presented so clearly that one could almost imagine one heard the clatter of the horses' hoofs as they galloped forward. Amongst other good scenes was Trafalgar Square with its recruiting incidents and bustling traffic, the arrival of a mail boat at Folkestone, and the arrival of a train at a country station in France. The whole of the views are clearly produced on a considerable scale, without any hitch, and the exhibition may be said to be absolutely the best of the sort now before the public. The Cinematographe pictures will be shown at the Empire Theatre every evening this week, and at the afternoon performance on Saturday next.

EMPIRE THEATRE, NEWCASTLE.
The chief item on the Empire programme this week is the Cinematographe, under the direction of M. Trewey. This is one of the best, if not the best exhibition of the sort ever seen in Newcastle. It is not so long since M. Trewey was here with his marvellous exhibition of what can be accomplished by photography, but despite this fact the house was well filled last night. Since his last visit M. Trewey added new views to his collection, the principal ones being these of the wedding of Princess Maud of Wales and the coronation of the Czar. The various pictures called forth a good deal of applause. Those who have not already done so, should see this wonderful exhibition. In addition to the cinematographe, there is an average all-round variety company under engagement at the Newgate Street house.

Les vues tournées lors de la visite du Tsar au début du mois d'octobre sont présentées en décembre :
The series of animated photographs which were lately exhibited at the People's Palace, Newcastile, have since been reproduced at Windsor Castle before the Queen and Court. The views were shown by Messrs. W. and D. Downey, of London, assisted by Messrs. J. and F. Downey, of South Shields. Fac-similes of some of the films used in producing the moving secenes on the canvas were printed in last week's "Lady's Pictorial" Looking at the illustrations, it is curious to observe the changed positions of the figures as picture succeeds picture in the series. But only a small part of any one scene could be given in the periodical, which will be readily understood when it is stated that each reel of films, forming the complete picture as projected upon the screen, contains no fewer than 1,200 separate photographs. Mr. F. Downey, who had the honour of assisting at the exhibition in Windsor Castle, in well-known in the Northern Counties for his performances as a chess-player. It will be remembered that he was the first winner of the Silver Knight, the handsome chess trophy which is offered by the proprietor of the "Weekly Chronicle" for annual competition among the devotees of the fascinating game in the North of England.

MR. C W. POOLE'S MYRIORAMA.
THE OPENING PERFORMANCE LAST NIGHT.
Mr. Charles W. Poole's Myriorama is back once more in Newcastle, and is located for the season at the Olympia, in Northumberland Road. The visit of this interesting exhibition and excellent entertainment at Christmas time is always expected with great pleasure, and in the holiday season there would be, without it, a very appreciable blank. It is, in every way, a delightful entertainment, refined, instructive, and amusing, combining a multitude of attractions for young and old alike. This is the No. 1 Myriorama, established in the year 1837; and no one will quarrel with the proprietor for calling it "a huge and divided triumph," with its "brillant, bright, startling, realistic, and beautiful scenic specialities. These the people of Newcastle, and of all the district round about, have seen time after time, and are always eager to see again. That is not to say that the same pictures and the same incidents are seen each successive year. Mr. Charles W. Poole's Myriorama is always thoroughly up to date; and while as many as possible of the more popular pictures are retained, the recent events that have held public attention and evoked popular enthusiasm, are added from time to time; so that the exhibition is always fresh, and interesting, and -when occasion requires--exciting. Now, for instance, when all people are still talking of the Soudan campaign, the whole story of the doings between Cairo and Fashoda is vividly described. The picture of the charge of the Lancers is painted with great skill, and has quite a thrilling effect upon the spectacors. Then there are startling descriptions of the incidents during the Hispano-American War, beginning with the explosion of the Maine, and with pictures following of the Cuban insurgents, the destruction of Cervera's fleet and the occupation of Santiago. The third series of pictures is devoted to events in India, from the Indian Mutiny, with the blowing up of the Cashmere Gate, down to the charge of the Gordon Highlanders at Dargai. There is much, also, about Africa—pictures of the gold fields, of Stanley's travels and adventures, and of Dr. Jamesons' conflict with the Boers. The war between the Chinese and the Japanese is admirably illustrated. Nor are these all. There are beautiful views of many notable portions of the world, and there are illustrations, with exquisite effects, of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. At intervals, a capital programme of amusements is given, by an excellent company of entertainers. Mr. McCart's dogs give a really wonderful exhibition. They dance, and skip. and turn somersaults, in the cleverest and most amusing way imaginable. The Cameo Troupe is a company of acrobats, who are exceedingly clever. Miss Jessita Arnelli is an excellent vocalist, and Prince Hassan gives a very clever performance upon a wire stretched across the hall. The 'Three Ogdens go through an agile and amusing performance of an acrobatic kind. Dock Watson is a most entertaining negro comedian, singing his songs admirably, and at times fairly convulsing his audience. Facio, with the aid of wigs and slight additions to his toilette, and wonderful changes of facial expression, gives representations of a great number of well-known characters. The American Team, with silver-mounted maces, give a very pleasing exhibition, in which a pretty drill is gone through with admirable precision. Beni Zong-Zang entertains the audience with a humorous acrobatic performance; and the two Augostes have a comical and clever horizontal bar performance. The Brothers Catto are sensational flying gymnasts. Then there is the eventographe, which shows a series of living photographs upon the screen with marvellous realism. Mr. R. H. A. Williams is an efficient guide, explaining everything lucidly, and with a clearness of enunciation that is not always found on such occasions. There is an excellent orchestra, conducted by Mr. C. Weldon. The myriorama opened for the season last night. There was a large audience, who enjoyed both the pictures and the entertainment greatly. The first matinee will be given to-morrow (Saturday) and there will be two performances daily during the Christmas holidays.

THE GRAND THEATRE.
Messrs. Morris and Bickford's company in the musical comedy " Somebody's Sweetheart," are giving quite a sparkling entertainment at the Grand Theatre this week. The piece is not new to the town, but its visits have not been so frequent as to lessen in any degree its freshness. Miss Mena Eckermann is a dainty little lady who sings and dances very nicely and makes much of the name part. Mr. Lennox Chandler carries himself well as a young English gentleman in search of adventure, and has a capital baritone voice, his singing being a pronounced feature of his performance. Mr. Melville Bickford makes the most of his part, and Mr. Harry Elliston is inimitable as "Blobbs," valet to the young gentleman just mentioned. All the parts, indeed, are in capable hands. Dining the evening there is an exhibition of Downey's living pictures, one of the subjects being the recent Newcastle Exchange walk, and, as the walkers and their friends were present in strong force last night, it is hardly necessary to say that it was enthusiastically received.

Le cinématographe de l'Armée du Salut, sous la responsabilité d'Henry Howse, offre un séance de vues animées en novembre :
The City Temple, Newcastle.
An admirable series of pictures was shown at the Salvation Army Temple, Westgate Road, Newcastle, on Saturday by the Army's own cinematograph to a large and appreciative audience. The pictures, which show General Booth's Motor car tour, scenes from the international congress, the band festival at which between two and three thousand brass instruments were played at one time, the march past General Booth, in which all nations took part, and the Army's birthplace, where General Booth stood alone 39 years ago, are exceptionally good, and the evening was made most interesting by the remarks made upon the scenes, by Adjutant Howse, of London, who was also lanternist, and who had taken most of the photographs himself. Scenes at a London fire, with the turn of the brigade, was a most realistic film and elicited muche enthusiasm. Throughout the pictures were instructive and interesting.
