Featured review
Hatot and Breteau
This, like all the titles listed by the other reviewer, appears in the C-series Gaumont catalogue, films that Alice Guy categorically denied having made and which are in fact almost certainly the work of Georges Hatot during his brief employ by Gaumont 1898-99. Two of the other films listed by the other reviewer (The Burglars and Surprise Attack on a House at Daybreak) are in fact remakes of films that Hatot had already made for the Lumières during his stay there (1896-1898). All these films probably date from 1898 rather than 1897.
The principal actor here (also the magician in Scène d'escamotage) is very likely Hatot's longtime collaborator Gaston Breteau who had also played Christ in Hatot's two versions of The Passion (one made for Lumière, the other for Gaumont). Hatot and Breteau had worked together in the theatre both as actors and as managers of crowd-scenes in the mid 1890s (Théâtre des Menus-Plaisirs, the Odéon and perhaps also the Hippodrome). They worked together for Lumières, for Gaumont and for Pathé (1900-1905) and were more or less inseparable until Breteau's death in 1905, after which Hatot joined another old friend and former theatre colleague Victorin-Hippolyte Jasset at Éclair.
