An old-fashioned mutoscope.

A mutoscope was a device that was used to view motion pictures, which was invented around 1895.

They were coin-in-the-slot machines that allowed people to view peep shows and other films.

History

New Earth

While Crazy Jane was in the home of Red Jack, she found a mutoscope that was labeled "What the Butler Saw," although that was not the film that was in the mutoscope, it was instead some surreal horror film that depicted a man that was sitting at a dinner table, and aside from wearing a derby hat, he was otherwise naked. A woman that may or may not have been his wife was in the corner of this dining room holding an infant in her arms. While the man is about to eat a dish of dismembered hands on a plate. And they all seemed to be living and holding a fork and a cleaver. He was then stabbed or cut to death, and his blood spattered all over the wall, which had a painting of a headless horse.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the dining room, the woman is crying, and the baby starts to say "mama," to her. But the camera zooms in closer to the infant and we see it's no normal baby...it's an giant insect. Jane was unsettled by this and she immediately quit watching the film, taking her eyes away from the mutoscope.
