I have a question. You said that the most famous performers on the vaudeville circuit were not accessible to most people because they only played major cities. However I imagine that the kinetoscope exhibitions would have only been available to people who lived in cities as well. I understand that kinetoscope exhibitions would have made entertainment accessible to more people because the specific performer didn't need to be in a specific location for someone to see his or her work. But I don't how the same people who went to kinetoscope exhibitions would not be able to go a show on the vaudeville circuit. Can you elaborate on the reasons that the kinetoscope exhibitions made vaudeville performances more accessible?

Louis Le Prince is the real inventor, the only problem is, his patents registered in France and Britain were not considered international patients as he did not demonstrate to the Public of his device, he of course planned to go the US and demostrate his camera, taking along him all the papers involving of his patent working Camera in which it along with him disappeared never to be seen again. While the Camera didn't disappear since he was not taking the camera with him when he disappeared, legally by law his wife couldn't be allowed to demonstrate his product until after a certain period of time, but by then Thomas Edison had demonstrated his camera to the world.

EDISON IS A THIEF he took credit for inventions that were not his -- INCLUDING the film camera, the original inventor of which vanished before Edison presented the idea as his own (not entirely impossible that Edison was the cause of the disappearance. While he may have been smart and an inventor of some things, Edison was a con and a horrible person overall who took far more credit than was his to have. Tesla is always better and Edison is a steaming trash bag.

Thomas Edison did not make the first motion picture camera
The first film/movie was done in Leeds about a 15 minute walk from my house
The true man who invented it was the Frenchman prince
