Curious to see what attraction was offered to induce this unanimity of acquiescence to the barker's invitation, the young man approached. "What's going on?" he asked. The barker appraised him with one sweeping glance. "Stereopticon lecture inside," he snapped, and turned his back. Bob made his way into a dimly lighted hall.
Instead of that he says, "A fellow at our school named George, a brother of Tom Tileston who goes to the Dwight, and is in Miss Somerby's room, not the Miss Somerby that has the class in the Sunday school, she's at the Brimmer School, but her sister," and already poor Frank is far from George, and far from the Stereopticon, and, as I observe, is wandering farther and farther.
There were no limelights or stereopticon pictures to add to the illusion, only the disconcerting faces and the light of day. He never before knew how bright the day could be but he continued to stand there, in spite of the ludicrous and trying position. He sang, a certain daredevil light in his eye now, a suspicion of a covert smile on his face.
The third curtain was simply a heavy, plain white one, perfectly fitted for the display of stereopticon views, and more especially for the moving panoramic views of the kinetescope, the vitascope and the biograph, which have proved such attractive and entertaining aids to the general lecturer, dealing with any special subject capable of such profuse illustration.
The Union Family Theater was the first of a succession of variety houses that was to spread, first to Harlem, then Philadelphia, and later gird the country like a close-link chain. Vaudeville prefaced with stereopticon views, designed to appeal to the strict respectability of the most strictly respectable audiences in the world.
In addition to the stereopticon and its attendant mechanism, which is only suitable when the pictures are to be shown to an audience, a machine has been invented for the use of an individual or a small group of people.
I think he restrained himself with difficulty from pronouncing the major excommunication against me, with bell, book, and candle, then and there. About that time I saw advertised for sale a stereopticon outfit, and bought it without any definite idea of what to do with it. I suppose it ought to be set down as foolishness and a waste of money.
Life in the oil fields became a phantasmagoria of ceaseless action and excitement a fantastic stereopticon that changed hourly. "Burk" was a sleepy little town, dozing amid parched wheat fields. The paint was off it; nothing much more exciting than a crop failure ever happened there.
Ringrose, 50,000 Catholic leaflets were distributed at the doors of Catholic churches. The picture slides and stereopticon talks, superintended by Mrs. Lucretia Watson Taylor, were very effective, particularly in the outlying districts. Posters, pennants and banners played a conspicuous part in the campaign.
There were at times stereopticon lectures on things historic and civic, and dramatic presentations of the Prodigal Son and other Bible stories which the pastor himself prepared and trained the people to present.
