Origins of the the distinctive ‘Cinema’ name:
“At the turn of the century a vaudeville show based in New York occasionally toured through the Maritimes and Quebec. The Wormwood’s Dog and Monkey Show had animal acts, comedy, and burlesque. Edmund Porter also travelled with the show; he was one of North America’s earliest significant film directors. Porter’s early movies were probably the first ever shown to vaudeville audiences in the Maritimes.” [Vincent Tinguely]
