Description | Harrison writes regarding the account Pexton submitted for seven pounds and 10 shillings for the use and operation of the cinematograph at their recent Soiree. Mr Simpson of the Royal Geographical Society, who mentioned Pexton, had engaged a cinematograph for a couple of official gatherings, stated that his charge might be expected to be between 2 1/2 and 3 guineas for one evening, and so Harrison asks if he can explain the high sum he has charged the Royal Society. |
