The Great God of Google does not know a lot about the Ormonde Vivograph, except for this website about early cinema which reprints an advert about a similar performance in Bo'ness, Scotland in August 1901. Sounds like a sort of music hall live family act with photos ... "1901-08-30","\"MAHATMAS\" IN BO'NESS -- Dr and Mddle S. Ormonde, the \"Mahatmas of the West' and their 'Sunflower Coterie\", with the vivograph, which has lately been creating a furore of excitement in London and Paris, are announced to appear at the Drill Hall, on Wednesday, 4th Sept. The chief attraction of the evening is the vivograph, which shows pictures of the latest scenes of the Boer and China War, depicting guns and troops in actual action. A stirring spectacle of a complete Spanish bull fight is then produced. Following this are the wrestlers, the great prize fight between John Bull and Kruger, and innumerable sensational and amusing animated pictures from other interesting subjects. The entertainment is of a high-class variety nature, and includes brilliant violin selections by Miss Lottie Ormonde. Excellent as all the parts are, the real interest is centred on Doctor and Mdlle Stella Ormonde in their marvellous clairvoyancy. Mdlle. Stella enters into a mesmeric or clairvoyant condition, and then begins the marvellous revelations. The Ormondes undoubtedly present a great entertainment, and we feel sure that they will be welcomed with a crowded house in Bo'ness." From earlycinema.gla.ac.uk/DataTables-1.10.9/scripts/server_pr... , then use 'find on page' for "ormonde".

Just past the town hall (on High Street) I see Waldron and Cunningham

Absolutely brilliant, I love it! Is it Brogeen? since I was a wee lad I always wanted to meet Brogeen. Please tell me thats who it is;-)

Swordscookie I should have my librarian's toggles ripped off, but never read any Brogeen stories. Did you read all of these by Patricia Lynch: Brogeen of the Stepping Stones (1947) Brogeen Follows the Magic Tune (1952) Brogeen and the Green Shoes (1953) Brogeen and the Bronze Lizard (1954) Brogeen and the Princess of Sheen (1955) Brogeen and the Lost Castle (1956) Brogeen and the Black Enchanter (1958) The Stone House at Kilgobbin: a Brogeen Story (1959) Brogeen and the Little Wind (1962) Brogeen and the Red Fez (1963) The Lost Fisherman of Carrigmor: a Brogeen Story (1960) Guests at the Beech Tree: a Brogeen story (1964)

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Every single one of them and if the Library didn't have them I saved the pocket money, depriving myself of going to the pictures until I could buy them! Just realised that I went down to O'Mahony's books shop that featured recently in your Limerick shots to buy them. One of my sisters and later my niece worked there and they had (and still have) a fantastic stock of books.
