La Grenouille (Segundo de Chomón, 1908)
Julienne Mathieu was an early French film actress who encouraged her husband, Segundo de Chomón, to begin directing films. She starred in his most famous film The Electric Hotel in 1908, but stopped acting in films in 1909.
#38 IMDb 1907: Music, Forward!
A Pathé trick film by Chomón starring his wife, Julienne Mathieu. Pathé brought in Chomón to compete with Méliès, and this film is certainly an example of that. Similar to Méliès’s Maestro Do Mi Sol Do, some of the effects here are more intricate -- such as with the masking and double exposures -- but the charm is lacking. Well done, but without that definitive quality that makes Méliès stand out even today.
