All who have attended the opera house
this week nave been highly edited,
charmed and mystiied at the wonderful
exhibition to be seen there. The source
of SO much wonder, as we'll as amusement
and instruction, Is the 'vltascope," one
OF Edison's latest and most remarkable
Inventions. 1t is an electrical apparatus
which throws life-size pictures OF persons
and objects upon q white canvas on the
stage. The pictures thus produced seem
to be endued with life and motion, and
the effect Is most natural and realistic.
For instance, an express train is seen
dashing across the stage at the rate OF
sixty miles an hour. 1t doesn't really do
SO, but it looks SO natural that the effect
is quite thrilling. Tit scenes which seem
to be most popular with the audiences are
of the mounted police of New York,
on fine horses, which come on a
swift gallop right up to the edge OF the
apparently; the New York fire
in action, showing the teams
a dead run to a fire; a mounted police
man catching a runaway team; a water
contest between a couple of
darkies; the "lons fisherman" which
never fails to create u~nbounded applause;
anu ihsLi ouI hob ioasIp Iho iauious AissihB
scene between May Irwin and John Rice.
This last scene is one of the most amusing
and interesting ones on the program, and
always sends the audience away In a good
humor, discussing the ~faithfulness with
which this little act of OSCILLATION Is pro-
duced. There are many other views of
equal interest and merit presented. The
effect of these scenes is increased by
mechanical apparatus, operated In such
ner as to give the proper combination
of sounds. All who have not seen this
wonderful entertainment should not fail
To do 30. There will be q matinee this
and tonight's exhibition will
close the weeks engagement,
