C. (Charles) Francis Jenkins began the creation of a movie projector in 1890. In the summer of 1894 Jenkins visited his boyhood home of Richmond, Indiana to show family, friends and newsmen the "motion picture projecting box" and what it could do. He called it a Phantoscope. The Richmond Telegram reported Jenkins placed a sheet on a wall and projected to the audience, a flickering film he had shot of a vaudeville dancer performing a butterfly dance. This was the earliest documented public showing of a filmed motion picture by way of a projector which used electricity.
A modified Phantoscope was later sold to Thomas Edison whom changed the name to Vitascope and began showing motion pictures in vaudeville theaters in New York City in 1896.
Using film and electricity were instruments of the modern era and ushered in cinema and the motion picture industry. However, the showing of pictures that moved by various means began centuries ago. There are a variety of men and devises from several countries which contributed to the primitive era of motion picture history. Details would be too long to cover here.
