"A party of Bangor newspaper men
enjoyed private exhibition of Edi-
sons Vitascope Sunday evening,by the
courtesy of Manager Owen of the
Opera house and Mr.. Richardson, who
owns the right to exhibit the apparatus
in Maine. The exhibition was given in
the Opera house, and seven pictures
were shown-a scene in a bar room, an
incident in Hoyt's "A Milk White
Flag" the umbrella dance, the serpen-
tine dance. the bucking bronco, the
surf at Dover. England, and May
Twins kiss in The Widow Jones"
No adequate idea can be given on
paper of the effects made possible by
the recent discoveries in the photog-
raphy of motion. The illusion is per-
feet. and the action seems continuous,
producing the impression that the OBJ
server is gazing on living figures.

explained the apparatus to his guests.
