A matter of particular interest was the innovation of exhibiting ‘stills’ of the programme outside the theatre, an entirely novel idea for the times, which did not escape the attention of that indefatigable commentator, Cecil M. Hepworth:

‘The management has hit upon an attractive method of advertising this new “turn.” Outside the theatre there are four enlargements of considerable size, each labelled, “One of a series of several thousand Mutoscopic Photographs, taken at the rate of forty per second for the American Biograph by the American Mutoscope Company.” One of these represents the firing of a 10-inch disappearing-carriage gun, and if the rest of the film is as wood (sic) as this particular photograph it should mark a step in the direction of utility as well as of general interest. Anyway, the subject is a distinct departure from the general run of these things, and as such should be welcome.’102
