Summary edit

Description
English: Newspaper advertisement for "The strongest man living - Young Sampson, Modern Hercules" who "pulls more than a team of horses" and "breaks chains by expanding his muscles". Moore's Musee Theatre at 91 and 93 Yonge Street (now the site of Dundee Place) opened as Robinson’s Musee in late 1890 as a combination theatre/lecture hall/dime museum featuring a rotating roster of sideshow and vaudeville acts. In 1896, the theatre was the site of the first presentation of projected motion pictures in Toronto.
