It is like an exhibition of the biograph, in which the scenes depicted go by at such a racing speed that it is difficult for the eye to follow them. There is an instantaneous vision of the old kitchen, seen at some abnormal unaccustomed hour of early morning in the winter-time. Three o'clock on the morning of January 3, 1865. A gas-lit scene of bustle and hurry. Gone.
Just outside the town stands the house in which George Stephenson lived his last days, and ended his great life of benefaction to mankind; leaving upon that haloed spot a biograph which the ages of time to come shall not wash out. From Chesterfield I diverged westward to see Chatsworth and Haddon Hall.
I didn't myself at first. Well here. Ye see ye know " He paused and swallowed hard, gazing at the ceiling for inspiration. Then he burst out suddenly: "Ye know the graphophone an' the kodak and the biograph an' all them things what ye can see down to Keene?" Rebecca nodded slowly, with suspicion still in her eye. "Well, the's a heap o' things ben invented since the Centennial of 1876.

Sardou, as represented by the biograph, is no longer a man of letters; but he remains, scarcely less evidently than in the ordinary theatre, a skilful and effective playwright. Hamlet, that masterpiece of meditative poetry, would still be a good play if it were shown in moving pictures.
The biograph ceases to whirl by at its original speed, and I can take breath here, and can begin to analyse myself and my own surroundings. To begin with, this is London; and to continue, I don't think much of it. This is a London egg, and this is London bacon, and this exiguous liquid which "laves the milk-jug with celestial blue" is London milk. All the flavours are strange.
"Well, I've got a better thing than that. A railroad couldn't plan anything more real than mine will be." I was intensely curious because of the novelty of the thing at that time. The "Biograph" was in its infancy. "This is it," he exclaimed suddenly. "You see how realistic this engine is, don't you?" I acknowledged that I did. "Well," he confided, "I'm building another just like it.
It was on this occasion that he confided what he called his great biograph scheme, the then forerunner of the latter day moving pictures. It was all so new then, almost a rumor, like that of the flying machine before it was invented.
Shakespeare's thought-life threw out a brilliant illumination, of wide circumference, at Stratford-upon- Avon, and no locality in England bears a biograph more venerated than the birth-place of the great poet. His thought-life was a sun that will never set as long as this above us shines. It is rising every year to new generations that never saw its rays before.
How did moving pictures originate? What and when were the beginning? It is popularly believed that animated pictures had their inception with Edison who projected the biograph in 1887, having based it on that wonderful and ingenious toy, the Zoetrope. Long before 1887, however, several men of inventive faculties had turned their attention to a means of giving apparent animation to pictures.
