The exhibitor who uses
an Edison Kinetoscope need
not fear competition.
To invest in an indifferent or inferior
picture machine is to invite failure. The
Edison Kinetoscope is unequalled for its
brilliant, steady, clean-cut work. There
is no unpleasant flicker, no wear on the

motion picture idea originated with Thomas A. Edison.
He offers it in its most perfect form in his Kinetoscope.
One of many decided improvements is its
IMPROVED LAMP HOUSE
This lamp house ismuch larger than other types, has better radiation,
takes longer carbons and, by reason of top, back and side openings, is much
moreaccessible. Acompletedescription of the Edison Kinetoscope, with
illustrations, in booklet form, sent free on request.

a character that does not offend. They range from thrilling melodrama to
brisk, lively comedy, They are made with unusual care by a process that
