I think he means that when you go from sound speed to silent speed, the 
shutter angle changes in order to reduce flicker at the lower speed, by 
means of a little metal clip on each shutter blade that is moved in and 
out by centrifugal force, and that on many of the Pageants that clip sticks 
and so it takes a second or so for it to move.  And during that second or
so there is noticeable flicker.

If you run a 60 Hz Pageant at 50 Hz, it will behave differently because the
motor will be running 20% slower.  It will probably take less time for the
clip to move.  Pageants designed for 50 Hz will run at the same speeds and
probably behave similarly, but I have never seen one and can't say for sure.

I would suggest if the original poster wants the exact effect that they 
bring their own projector and run it on a a 60 Hz inverter abroad.
