I came across this in a school logbook, 13 Dec 1865: "Children called upon to choose their own Entertainment on the 28th, majority for the Pantecine Show." It was for the annual Christmas treat.
Google, OED and old newspapers were no help, I'm guessing it's some form of "magic lantern" show. Can anyone enlighten me further?
