The series of slides were projected onto screens during the era, and these were created by the New York firm of John D. Scott and Edward Van Altena.
The photos come from Backstory (via The Film Stage), and they've also included a 1916 New York Times excerpt from a letter to an editor that discusses the movie going experience for audiences.
