1897
L'eidoloscope (Dolan's Opera House, 13 janvier 1897)
Logansport, Dolan's Opera House (Broadway Theatre) (début XXe siècle).
En provenance de Dayton, Rosabel Morrison est en tournée avec une nouvelle adaptation de Carmen, oeuvre de Proper Mérimée, dont l'originalité consiste à inclure, lors de la représentation la célèbre Bull Fight tournée au Mexique par Gray Latham :
Logansport Reporter, Logansport, samedi 9 janvier 1897, p. 5.
L'unique séance est prévue pour le 13 janvier 1897 et la presse s'intéresse, en particulier, à la nouveauté de l'eidoloscope introduit dans le dernier acte de Carmen :
THE BULL FlGHT
Introduced in the Play "Carmen" is a Wonderful Bit of Realism.
The bull fight which Rosabel Morrison introduces in her production of "Carmen" through the instrumentality of the wonderful Eidoloscope, is not a series of still photographic views as some of the more incredulous might infer, but is an actual reproduction of the genuine article, with the living, breathing participants in action. Lasting continuously without cessation for a full quarter of an hour the effect cannot be adequately described in words. At the opera house tomorrow night.

1899
Le cinematograph d'Isaac Kline (25-27 mai 1898)
Isaac Kline présente des vues animées en mai :
Pictures of the War.
Another large crowd greeted the Kline cinematograph exhibition at the rink last night. Some of the feature pictures of Monday night were repeated and a great many more fine views of the late war were added. The war scenes are extraordinarily vivid. One could almost imagine he could hear the report of the cannons and the clash of smaller arms. Music accompanied the exhibition. The mechanism of the machines and films is quite, worth the notice of all. The pictures for the films are gathered by a photographer, who, for instance in taking the battle of Santiago, was situated upon the bluffs with a large camera containing several thousand unexposed films and with a telescopic lense which will make an object three or four miles away appear as close as twenty feet, takes a continuous string of photographs. The negatives are then sent to an expert, whose business it is to develop the pictures and made a celeloid film, which is used in the machines. The films are run through a machine before a very strong light and are kept continuously in motion so that the actual battle was really enacted at the rink last evening.

Un compte rendu est publié le lendemain :
TONIGHT THE LAST
Kline's Moving Picture Entertainment to Close.
Tonight will be the last opportunity Logansport people will have for some time of witnessing Isaac Kline's cinematograph entertainment, for tonight he closes his week's engagement here, and goes to Muncie for a week, after which he will start on an extensive tour of the great northwest. But to-night he promises to give those who go to the rink the richest treat of the week, or for that mater of their lives in the way of an entertainment of this class. Last night he received, on the midnight train from Chicago, a new series of films that are pronounced by those who have seen similar ones in other places to be the finest of the kind produced. These will be shown tonight, among them being a scene of the great Brooklyn bridge, New York, in all its activity of hurrying, crowding, pushing humanity. In addition to these new scenes will be shown the best of those that have delighted the la large audience during the week, and tonight will be the banner night of the week, which no one can afford to miss.
Last night Mr. Kline was again greeted with a crowded house, in fact the admissions at the door showed it to be the largest of the week. Everyone, as on previous nights, was delighted and again tonight the rink will be crowded to its capacity and more.
