THE VANISHING LADY - THE HAT WITH MANY SURPRISES - HOW BRIDGET'S LOVER ESCAPED - THE DANCING MIDGET - THE CHRISTMAS ANGEL

THE VANISHING LADY
France 1896
A magician presents a lady, seats her on a chair, covers her with a veil and when he
removes it, the woman disappears. He attempts to make her come back, but he makes a
skeleton appear instead. He swiftly chases it until the lady reappears once again.

THE HAT WITH MANY SURPRISES

HOW BRIDGET'S LOVER ESCAPED
France 1907

THE DANCING MIDGET
France 1902
A magician removes a dozen eggs from the mouth of his assistant. He cracks them into a
hat, beats them as if to make an omelette, and takes out an egg as big as the hat. He
barely places the egg on the table when a miniscule woman appears, full of life and no
bigger than a puppet. She begins to perform a lovely series of dance steps. All of a
sudden, her body grows into the size of a normal person. She jumps up and charms the
audience with her rapid change. Then, the magician and dancer disappear in the most
extraordinary way.

THE CHRISTMAS ANGEL
France 1904
