The First Nickelodeon
By Al Sefl

In 1894 Edison introduced the coin-operated Phono-Kinetoscope so you
could see a motion picture and hear a cylinder phonograph within the
same cabinet playing accompanying music.  No doubt there are other and
earlier examples but that is the one that comes to my mind first.

Best wishes to all,
