a picture from "rayok" box-theatre
Ящик с передвижными картинками, показываемыми через многогранные увеличительные стекла, показ к-рых сопровождается произнесением комических прибауток (истор. театр.). Раек тешит толпу слушателей самодельными остротами. Кокорев. Райком кормился дедушка, Москву да Кремль показывал. Некрасов.

Simon, you will probably need to make some kind of footnote that would explain what "rayok" is, since most of those who reads the text will be unfamiliar with what it is.
I also want to say that "раёк" literally sounds like "little paradise", (compare to "рай") although I'm not quite sure if that is what it was meant to sound like)

Comment: "Thanks, Maksym. I have since found a reference to a 'fairground peep show' which will serve ideally for a footnote as you suggest. Thanks for putting me on the right track"
