The Verigraph

"The Verigraph is the result of the development of the third dimension (depth) in photography, shows a series of still pictures which seem blurred to the naked eye, but through the colored lorgnette distributed to the auditor with his program it brings the picture decidedly clearer, has a tendency to play up the background, and it rather novel in its own little way."

"From a scientific standpoint, the Verigraph, said to be another of Edison's discoveries, may fill a void and eventually become a prominent educational factor, but, figuring from the theatrical angle, it doesn't belong, for it lacks the necessary action and after the first thrill of interest approaches the monotonous period." "Might replace the illustrated song for a reliever, but with the movies in their present state of development the first and second dimensions will suffice."
