Welcome to the Half-Hour In-Depth Tour!
Here you can get a comprehensive sense of the huge range of magic-lantern screen performance in America from 1800 to 1965.
Since you’ve taken, we hope, the Ten-Minute Intro Tour, you’re ready to learn much more about early shows, venues, agencies, amateur and professional performers, women performers and Black performers.
Here you’ll also explore some of the major areas of lantern performance such as travel, religion, the arts, science, social justice, wars, and plain old tom-foolery.
And you’ll learn about the effect of the movies on lantern performances, exploring the ending of the era when the lantern had a major impact on American culture.
