Kinetograph

We put on today for the first time the daylight moving pictures (which is an improvement on the old kinetograph) invented by S.L. Rothapfel. Although the size of the picture is not as large as our former pictures, at the same time the immense intensification of the picture makes it look so brilliant with the black border that the size does not enter into the interest at all. In fact, the innovation is such a positive hit that as soon as the public gets on to the fact, patrons who usually go out on the pictures will remain on account of the added interest given the films. The colored travel films were especially beautiful by this process.
