St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Missouri, October 25, 1896

Some one has been protesting against the cinematoscoping of royalty and the subsequent exhibition of the photographs, on the ground that in one of the series the Prince of Wales is represented scratching his royal head. The cinematoscopter has hastened to explain that “the movement referred to is simply a momentary placing of the hand to the ear, probably to brush away an intrusive fly.”Loyal subjects of the brown will now be able to sleep peacefully in their beds without being haunted by the horrid thought that the heir apparent could, under any circumstances whatever, descend to such a plebeian action as scratching his head.
