WONDERFUL MOVING PICTURES.


An Exhibition of Great Interest ... The Kinodrome Show with its wonderful MOVING PICTURES of President McKinley at the Pan-American Exposition.... / See ... CINDERELLA, and the GLASS SLIPPER.... Dekalb Opera House, December 10-11, [c.1901]. Double-sided printed broadside on pink paper, 300 x 195 mm. 2 inches of discoloration to lower margin, upper margin with some light creasing, otherwise fine. A rare early cinema broadside announcing the Kinedrome Show to appear for two nights at the DeKalb Opera House (probably in Indiana, although there is a Dekalb County in Alabama as well). For only 15, 25 or 25 cents, once could watch moving pictures of President McKinley at the Pan-American Exposition in New York followed by his funeral ceremonies in September of that same year. The verso of the broadside announces a showing of "Cinderella, and the Glass Silpper [sic]" (probably a screening of Georges Melies' 1899 production), the 12 minute tour of a canal ride through the Pan-American Exposition, "Panoramic Views, All in Motion" of the Atlantic City Beach, "the Famous Horse Shoe Curve," Niagara Falls, and more.
