<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 4062659, member: 66&quot;]I would say British is probably a good bet but probably not a cinema.&nbsp; Even older.&nbsp; A popular form of Victorian entertainment were &quot;Magic Lantern&quot; shows.&nbsp; Moving pictures hadn&#039;t come along yet but they would have something similar to&nbsp; a movie theater but the projector displayed individual images from large glass slides up on the screen, often with a narrator to talk about the scene being shown.&nbsp; It was basically a slide show for large audiences.&nbsp; The image of the lantern makes me think it was more likely for a magic lantern show theater than a cinema.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
