Theatrograph

The use of Paul's Theatrograph in music halls up and down the country popularised early cinema in Britain.

It was first revealed to the public at the Egyptian Hall in Piccadilly, London.

Carl Hertz sailed from England on 28 March 1896 aboard the Royal Mail Ship RMS Norman and during the voyage exhibited Paul's Theatrograph to the passengers.

He also exhibited films in South Africa and Australia.

After Australia, Hertz took the Theatrograph to Ceylon (Sri Lanka), India, China, Japan, the Fiji Islands, and Hawaii.
