Summary

Last night, an exhibition of the projectoscope was given by Professor Merrcovich in the rooms of the Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders. There was a small attendance. The names of machines for showing the animated pictures appear to be innumerable, and the projectoscope appears to be a combination of the kinetoscope, with an improved electric projector. The entertainment was very much enjoyed, some of the best pictures shown being the fan and umbrella dances, blacksmiths at work, and several boxing bouts. A series of pictures of Japanese scenery was also thrown upon the screen.
