ProducerDirector

D'abord employé des usines Lumière, où il entre en 1894, il devient photographe portraitiste à Paris, où il s'installe dans l'atelier d'Antoine Lumière au 8 boulevard des Italiens, ce qui lui permet d'entrer dans le milieu du cinématographe.

Rapidement, il se lance dans la production et la réalisation de films de long métrage comme Le Duel d'Hamlet ou Cyrano de Bergerac.

Little Tich and His Funny Feet

"This funny individual will make you laugh until your sides ache. He is funny in all his actions, yet when he puts on his shoes you can imagine the noise he can make when he dances an ordinary clog. The shoes referred to are made of some elastic material which enables Little Tich to bow almost to the floor without bending his legs, the spring in the shoes carrying him down and up again. He places his hat on the floor and, leaning over on the toes of his wonderful shoes, dips his head into the hat and comes up without having to move from the spot or to bend his legs. He is a comical looking sight at best, being made up to suit the part, and he will make you laugh whether you want to or not."

Le duel d'Hamlet

The movie consists solely of a saber fight. Bernhardt plays a cross-gender Hamlet, and Pierre Magnier is her fellow duelist, Laertes. A few bystanders, in Rennaissance dress, stand off to the right of the screen, and in the background, next to a painted backdrop.
