MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The vitascope.

NO NAtosCoPSs
Edison's vitascope, the latest thing on
the vaudeville stage, and triumph OF
the Wizards inventive genius, is sim
pie contrivance, and yet wondrOus in its
detail and mechanism. When Edison
named the machine vitasoope he did so
he explained, because it showed life, sand
he added that it WAS the very thing he
had in mind when he worked SO long and
so patiently on the kaleidoscope, with
which he has never been sat isfied. By
means of the vitascope lite size pictures
of men, women and animals and scenes
form nature are thrown upon screen
and present to the spectator an animated,
moving panorama. The result IL int nse-
ly interesting and pleasing. but Mr..
Edison is not satisfied. He wants now
to improve the monograph SO that it
will record double the amount of sound
that it does at present; and he hopes then
to SO combine this improved photograph
with the vitascope as to make it possible
for the audience to witness photo
graphic reproduction of an opera or Llay
Ito see the movements OF the actors and
hear their voices as plainly as though
they We're witnessing the original pro-
duction itself. And when it 10 remem-
bered what marvels Edison has produced,
1t would not seem at all improbable that
he may yet add this one to his many
others. The first exhibi tion of tho vita
scope IN Maine will be given at the Port
land theatre next week. The vitascope
will be seen at Portland theatre all next
week.
