movies on the magic lantern

Gebrüder Bing. Great magic lantern and cinematograph, made by Gebrüder Bing, Nürenberg, Germany. On the back the 'G.B.N. Bavaria' trade mark, on the wooden base a little plate with the text 'PATENT DIV DRGM'. Film transport is achieved by a rotating, buckled rod that hits the film continually near the sprocket, causing an intermittent movement of the film. In cooperation with the synchronic rotating shutter a flowing movement of the image is obtained. Dimensions: Ground plate: 11 x 6 inches (28.5 x 15 cm); lantern 9 inch (23.3 cm) high without and 17 inch (44 cm) including the chimney.
		Keystone Moviegraph c. 1920. Pat. date may 4, 1920. The lantern stands 13 1/2" (34 cm) high and is 10" (25,5 cm) long. Light source is a standard light bulb in ceramic socket. Also included are some original posters, announcing a BIG MOVIE SHOW, some tickets and last but not least the KEYSTONE OPERATOR button.

Lapierre Cinéma Model n°6 EL. French movie projector and magic lantern of the 1920's with original marked box. Fitted for use on electricity with a voltage of 110 or 220 V. On one of the sides of the lantern the name of the manufacturer is printed, and also the logo of UNIS-FRANCE (see photo). UNIS-FRANCE was an organisation in which a large number of French companies was united. It was established probably during or shortly after the First World War in Paris, and existed up to the 1930s. UNIS is short for 'Union Nationale Inter Syndicale'. Aim was the promotion of French products, while it was a kind of quality brand too. It can be considered as a counterbalance for the mention 'Made in Germany'. On this lantern the indication UNIS-FRANCE is placed in a sharp oval near which also some numbers are printed, but also other versions of the logo are known.
