The Kinetophor e.-Inye ntive genius has
again brought forth a novelty-this time a
combine ton of the kaleidoscope and graphic
phone-known as the kinetophone. This
new instrument has just been placed on eX-
hffition in the attractive parlors OF the
Columbia Photograph Company, and has
been surrounded, since ats Introduction. by
an interested and curious throng The
patron places the ordinary graphophone
tubes to his ears, looks through the little
window of the kinetophone, and, while he
watches the antics of the pickanlnn1es
from 1.-The Passing Show" hears the lively
strains of the orchestra accompaniment In
perfect time with the movements OF the
dancers. In like manner Carmencita may
be seen in her characteristic dances, with
the accompaniment of Spanish music, so
true to life that one can imagine the tap
ping of the castanets comes from the tiny
hands waving so gracefully before the eyes
of the beholder. The kaleidoscope and the
graphophone are on exhibition and are
constantly being supplied with new scenes
and new music, while the addition OF the
kinetophone increases the throng of Wis
itors, who, all day and evening, attest the
popularity of the novel exhibition.
