1896-THE FIRST PROJECTED MOVIES IN
THE U.S.- The first projection of Thomas Edison’s kinetoscope film by means of
Thomas Armat’s Vitascope at Koster & Bials Music Hall on 28th street and
Broadway in New York City.. Edison had to be nagged into this by his engineer
W.K.L. Dickson. Edison thought projecting movies like the Lumiere Brothers were
doing in Europe would never catch on and the future of film was nickelodeon
machines. The movie show featured the
sultry Annabella the Dancer and a boxing match, but the real hit of the evening
was footage of Waves Hitting the Rocks on Shore, which made people
instinctively duck to keep from getting wet.
