Featuring an elaborate facade and seating for more than 2 000 people, the theatre was instantly established as one of the city's largest, and grandest, buildings.</p> <p>As was usual at the time, the Prince of Wales presented a variety of live entertainment; everything from vaudeville and three penny opera, to live music, local comedians and animal acts. They also showed more notable works; the first performances of 'HMS Pinafore' and 'The Pirates of Penzance' in Australia were staged at the Prince.</p> <figure id="attachment_948" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-948" style="width: 203px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" data-attachment-id="948" data-permalink="https://www.museumoflost.com/australias-first-movie-screening/a110397_246x550/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.museumoflost.com/wp-content/uploads/A110397_246x550.jpg?fit=203%2C304&ssl=1" data-orig-size="203,304" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}" data-image-title="A110397_246x550" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="<p>Harry Rickards</p> " data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.museumoflost.com/wp-content/uploads/A110397_246x550.jpg?fit=203%2C304&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.museumoflost.com/wp-content/uploads/A110397_246x550.jpg?fit=203%2C304&ssl=1" data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" class="wp-image-948 size-full" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.museumoflost.com/wp-content/uploads/A110397_246x550.jpg?resize=203%2C304&ssl=1" alt="Melbourne promoter Harry Rickards" width="203" height="304" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-948" class="wp-caption-text">Harry Rickards</figcaption></figure> <p><a href="http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/rickards-harry-8207">Harry Rickards</a> was a Melbourne actor with large ambitions.

The Lumiere's remarkable invention was an all-in-one film studio, capable of filming, and projecting, images.</p> <p>The movies had arrived.</p> <p>The first public screenings involving the Cinematographe took place in Paris in September 1895, where the Lumiere's screened short films they had shot themselves.

Paul, a British inventor who had created his own copy of the device, which he imaginatively named the 'Theatrograph'. While similar in design and construction, Paul's version was less sophisticated and was considered inferior to the Lumiere's model.</p> <p>Nevertheless, Hertz was determined to have one of Paul's machines. Again told that they were not for sale, Hertz convinced Paul to show him his workshop and demonstrate the workings of the device in person.</p> <blockquote> <p style="text-align: right;"><strong>'He (Paul) took me on to the stage and showed me the whole workings of the machine. We were there for over an hour, during which I kept pressing him to let me have one of the machines. </strong></p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: right;"><strong>Finally I said, </strong><strong>"Look here! I am going to take one of these machines with me now!"</strong></p> <p> </p> <p style="text-align: right;"><strong>And with that, I took out a hundred pounds in notes, put them into his hand, got a screw driver and unscrewed one of the machines from the floor.'</strong></p> <p style="text-align: right;"> <p style="text-align: right;"><em>- Carl Hertz</em></p> </blockquote> <p>Paul would later claim that Hertz had stolen the machine from him.</p> <p>Harry Rickards had been in England at the same time, booking acts for the Australian summer. Having also witnessed a Cinematographe in action, he was anxious to have one for his Melbourne theatre; a pioneering coup that he thought would make him a fortune.</p> <p>Rickards learned that Hertz had acquired a device, and offered him a series of engagements in Melbourne. Hertz accepted, and departed England in June.</p> <figure id="attachment_955" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-955" style="width: 400px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img data-attachment-id="955" data-permalink="https://www.museumoflost.com/australias-first-movie-screening/hertz-bill/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.museumoflost.com/wp-content/uploads/Hertz-bill.jpg?fit=400%2C343&ssl=1" data-orig-size="400,343" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="Hertz bill" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.museumoflost.com/wp-content/uploads/Hertz-bill.jpg?fit=400%2C343&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.museumoflost.com/wp-content/uploads/Hertz-bill.jpg?fit=400%2C343&ssl=1" data-recalc-dims="1" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-955 size-full" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.museumoflost.com/wp-content/uploads/Hertz-bill.jpg?resize=400%2C343&ssl=1" alt="An ad for Australia's first screening" width="400" height="343" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-955" class="wp-caption-text">An ad in the local press, for Hertz's show.</figcaption></figure> <p>Hertz arrived in Melbourne in August, 1896.</p> <p>He commenced his run at the Melbourne Opera House on the 15th of that month, and unveiled his Theatrographe to a private audience of city officials and VIPs on the 17th.
