Méliès built the world's first movie studio near Paris; from it cascaded fantastic magic films, dream films, historical reconstructions, imaginary journeys, melodramas, and slapstick comedies - even erotic films.
He directed 531 films between 1896 and 1914, ranging in length from one to fourty minutes.

The King of Hollywood: Douglas Fairbanks
An actor, screenwriter, director and producer. Douglas Fairbanks began acting at an early age,
and under the watchful eye of D.W. Griffith, Fairbanks became a star almost instantly,
playing in light social and romantic comedies. In 1916, Douglas started his own company "The Douglas Fairbanks Film Corporation",
and by 1920, Fairbanks had completed twenty-nine films (twenty-eight features and one two-reel short). His athletic prowess,
gallant romanticism, and natural sincerity made him "King of Hollywood" during the 1920s and after his marriage
with Mary Pickford, the couple became Hollywood royalty. He had the inspiration of staging a new type of adventure-costume
picture, a genre that was then out of favor with the public, making his famous costume pictures, such as
"The Mark of Zorro" (1920), "The Three Musketeers", (1921) and "Robin Hood". (1921). With Pickford, Charlie Chaplin,
and Griffith, Fairbanks founded the United Artists Corporation in 1919 as a distribution outlet for independently produced films.
Finally, by the time sound came in, he stopped acting in 1936. He and Pickford placed their hand and foot prints
in wet cement at the newly opened Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on April 30, 1927.
Fairbanks was elected first President of the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences that same year,
and he presented the first Academy Awards Ceremony at the Roosevelt Hotel.

he created an American archetype: an optimistic and determined go-getter sporting spectacles and a toothy smile.

To acknowledge this fact, he was elected to the French Academy in 1962, the first film director to receive this great accolade.
Born in Belgium from a bourgeois family with a strong military tradition, when he announced he wanted to become an actor in 1907, his father forbade him to use his family name so he adopted pseudonym "Feyder".
During the next two decades, Jacques Feyder's reputation as a filmmaker extraordinaire grew and his lyrical handling of realistic subject-matter created some of the finest French films of the 1920s.
After a brief sojourn in Hollywood he assured his place as a key figure of "poetic realism".

René Clair
After working for a while as a journalist, René Clair soon discovered a passion for cinema while acting in some of Louis Feuillade's films.Ý
He made his first film in 1924, "Paris qui dort", a comic satire with a science-fiction theme.
Clair developed his penchant for satirical surrealism in films which were highly regarded at the time and which are now considered to be masterpieces.Ý
He made one film in Great Britain before moving to the United States where he directed half a dozen more down-to-earth films.
René Clair is now universally regarded as one of the most significant figures in French cinema history.
His wit, imagination and drive helped French cinema to maintain its pre-eminent position in the 1920s and 30s.
To acknowledge this fact, he was elected to the French Academy in 1962, the first film director to receive this great accolade.

Georges Méliès: le "Cinémagicien"
Georges Méliès was one of the most important pioneers of early cinema.
Before making films, he was a stage magician but became interested in movies after seeing a demonstration of the Lumière brothers' camera.
Méliès built the world's first movie studio near Paris; from it cascaded fantastic magic films, dream films, historical reconstructions, imaginary journeys, melodramas, and slapstick comedies - even erotic films.
He directed 531 films between 1896 and 1914, ranging in length from one to fourty minutes.
Due to his ability to seemingly manipulate and transform reality with the cinematography, Méliès is sometimes referred to as the "Cinemagician."

The Black Pearl: Fêtons "La Baker"
Joséphine Baker was given the nicknames the "Bronze Venus" or the "Black Pearl", as well as the "Creole Goddess" in English-speaking countries.
In France, she has always been known as "La Baker".
While she met a moderate success in the US, her new venture in Paris with "La Revue NËgre" proved to be a turning point in her career, and virtually an instant hit, an overnight sensation.
Josephine Baker became one of the best-known entertainers in both France and much of Europe.
Her jaw-dropping performance, including a costume of 16 bananas strung into a skirt, cemented her celebrity status.
Josephine rivaled Gloria Swanson and Mary Pickford as the most photographed woman in the world.
Overcoming the limitations imposed by the color of her skin, she became one of the world's most versatile entertainers, performing on stage, screen and recordings.
She was a humanitarian, a French resistant during World War II.
La Baker was a civil rights activist who refused to perform for segregated audiences and integrated the Las Vegas nightclubs.
She adopted twelve children from around the world whom she called her "Rainbow Tribe."
She became the first American woman to receive French military honors at her funeral.

Christmas Nostalgia: Remembering Dickens
'Tis the season to celebrate and this will be the month featuring Christmas movies at the lounge.
We also wanted to pay tribute to Charles Dickens.
As a prolific 19th Century author of short stories, plays, novellas, novels, fiction and none, during his lifetime
Dickens became known over the world for his remarkable characters, his mastery of prose in the telling of their lives,
and his depictions of the social classes, mores and values of his times.
The popularity of Dickens' novels and short stories has meant that they have never gone out of print.
"A Christmas Carol" was published on December 19, 1843.
The first of the author's five Christmas books, the story was an instant success, selling over six thousand copies
in one week, and the tale has become one of the most popular and enduring Christmas stories of all time.
Charles Dickens has probably had more influence on the way that we celebrate Christmas today than any single
individual in human history. Christmas Carol was written during a time of decline in the old Christmas traditions.

Christmas carol & Old Scrooge • 1923
A holyday pageant at home • 1901

Larry Semon: The Comic Shooting Star
Larry Semon was a film comedian during the silent era, at the time considered a "Comedy King"
played a white-faced goof in derby hat and overalls, who would enter any given setting and cause chaos.
No gag was too big and a typical Semon comedy might involve barrels of flour, soot, ink, jam, mud pits, etc.
He gained an international reputation and at his peak rivaled the popularity of Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd,
and was among the most popular and highly paid comedians.
French audiences knew him as Zigoto. Former cartoonist, Semon joined Vitagraph in 1916 as a writer and director
and found success making short films comedy, but Semon's fiscal irresponsibility lead to bankruptcy and
a genius was lost in the silent movie world.
Most film historians, when they discuss him at all, are usually doing so in regard to two of his supporting players,
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. Any other references will refer to his "tragic" qualities, his early death,
his inability to create a truly memorable comic character, and his extravagance.
Yet what most of us fail to realize was just how popular he was at the time.

Max Linder: Chaplin's Teacher
Today Max Linder is probably one of the least known silent comedy actors and filmmakers,
but his influence upon the medium of film was profound.
He predated all the more well known silent film clowns, and his influence was clearly seen in their comedy years later.
Called "my teacher" by Charles Chaplin, Max Linder was born in Gironde, France on December 16th, 1883.
Making his screen debut in 1905 in a film for Pathé he quickly became a famous and successful film comedian to audiences
in both Europe and America, and may be considered the first international movie star.

Les Frères Lumière: la naissance du cinéma
Louis and Auguste Lumière were pioneer contributors to the birth of film-making
and held their first private screening of projected motion pictures in 1895.
Months later, the showing of approximately ten short films lasting only twenty minutes in total would be the very first public
demonstration of their device they called the "cinématographe" which effectively functioned as camera, projector
and printer all in one.
The first experimentation by Louis Lumière showed everyday real events, and for this reason they believed that
"The cinema is an invention with no future."
The Lumière brothers have been credited with over 1,425 different short films and had even filmed aerial shots years
before the very first airplane would take to the skies.

W.C. Fields: a juggler misanthrope
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on January 29th, 1889, W.C. Fields had a tragic childhood.
The son of a poor Cockney immigrant and an American mother, he ran away from home at the age of eleven due to abuse, surviving by his wits.
He dreamed of being a great juggler and it was this skill that allowed him to break into show business.
By the age of twenty he was a comic star in vaudeville. In Paris, he starred at the Folies-Bergères along with
Charles Chaplin and Maurice Chevalier, and had a string of successes in musical on Broadway.
Fields' first movie was made in 1915 for Mutual; he was thirty-six years old, and also began writing his own screenplays.
Most of Fields' films were "acquired tastes", more often praised by the critics than favored by the public.
Many of his routines were improvised, which was often difficult for the other actors performing with him to follow.
His characters were mostly cynics and misanthropes, persecuted by authority figures, and henpecked by critical wives.
Dead in 1946, W.C. Fields is perhaps more popular today than he was during the peak of his long and successful career in show business.
Some of the following are not silent movies.

Mabel Normand: the "Female Chaplin"
Born in New Brighton, Staten Island, New York, she was certainly the most popular screen comedienne of the silent film era.
The daughter of a vaudeville musician, she began modeling for artists and photographers, but Normand quickly demonstrated a flair for comedy and became a star of Sennett's short films.
Mickey (1918) was a smash hit.
Mabel would do anything to make her films successful. She appeared in over 100 2-reel films and also directed films staring Charles Chaplin and Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle.
Mabel also wrote, directed, and starred in Mabel's Married Life (1914),
Mabel's Busy Day (1914), Caught in a Cabaret (1914).
As she was getting older with her career, she began a downward slide, becoming addicted to wild all-night parties, alcohol and cocaine.
Her later career was marked by several successive scandals, including the murder of director William Desmond Taylor.
She married actor Lew Cody in 1926, but would carry on her partying.
In 1929, as her health declined, Mabel entered a sanitarium and remained there for six months, dying from tuberculosis at the age of 34.

The original concept of a race through the country has started in 1903.
Covering a distance of 2500 km, taking place for three weeks in several stages and rankings based on the cumulative time over the course of the tour.
What makes this race special are not only the physical demand and the consistency you need to win that competition, but the tough stretches of biking trough the Alps, the Massif Central and the Pyrénées mountains.
Among many famous winners are Jacques Anquetil, Eddie Mercks, Bernard Hinault, Greg Lemon & Lance Armstrong.
On this occasion, we will feature daily specials related to each region of France the Tour will go through.

Roscoe Arbuckle: The Balloonatic
Roscoe Conkling Arbuckle was born in Smith Center, Kansas, on March 24, 1887, weighing 14 pounds.
His father, William Goodrich Arbuckle, named but the elder Arbuckle thought Roscoe was illegitimate, and beat him constantly.
The Arbuckles moved to Santa Ana, California, in the autumn of 1888.
In 1899, Roscoe's mother, Mollie, died. He was shortly thereafter abandoned by his father.
Roscoe survived by doing odd jobs at a hotel in San Jose. Singing while working in the kitchen, he caught the attention of a performer singing at the hotel.
She took him to the neighborhood theatre, to perform on amateur night. He won, caught the attention of showman David Grauman, and soon Roscoe was in Vaudeville, as a singer and dancer.
In 1913, Roscoe decided to try his luck at Keystone. Films had suddenly come into vogue, and since Roscoe had experience from working at Selig, he decided to give it another try.
Starting with "The Gangsters" (April, 1913), Roscoe quickly became one of the most popular figures at Keystone. With the "Comique" films, Arbuckle reached his artistic peak.
In 1919 Roscoe would be moved permanently from shorts into features. No other male "slapstick" comedian had yet done that.
During the next eighteen months, Roscoe would star in nine features. Understandably, making new features at the rate of six a year caused a drop in quality.
By silent comedy standards, they are poor.
After a short vacation to San Francisco in September 1921, Arbuckle was arrested and was held over for manslaughter on flimsy evidence. He was later proved innocent.
Nevertheless, the damage was done. Roscoe Arbuckle would be blacklisted from acting in Hollywood for the next eleven years.
In 1925, it was decided in Hollywood that Roscoe would be allowed to direct comedies, as long as he didn't use his real name.
Finally, on the tenth anniversary of the scandal, Motion Picture magazine wrote the article "Doesn't Fatty Arbuckle Deserve a Break?" signed by dozens of film stars.
The response from fans was overwhelmingly positive - they demanded Roscoe Arbuckle be returned to the screen.
After years of hard work, Hollywood could no longer deny Roscoe Arbuckle's contributions to the film industry.
In early 1932, Arbuckle was signed by Jack Warnerto star in six two-reel comedies but On June 29, 1933, Roscoe Arbuckle died from heart failure, after a night of celebrating.
Arbuckle is the only person to have the honor of having the three greatest silent film comedians, Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, and Buster Keaton, appear in supporting roles in his films.
Chaplin assists Roscoe in "The Knockout," Lloyd is Roscoe's co-star in "Miss Fatty's Seaside Lovers," and Keaton supported Roscoe in at least fourteen shorts under Arbuckle's "Comique" banner.

Harry Langdon: The Sad Clown
Born in Council Bluffs, Iowa on June 15th, 1884 silent film comedian Harry Langdon ran away from home at the age of twelve to join a traveling medicine show.
He had a long-term success in vaudeville with a running act called "Johnny's New Car" which he performed for twenty years on stage.
Harry also performed in circuses, minstrel shows, and burlesque. In 1924 he signed with Mack Sennett's Keystone Studios, making his film debut in a comedy called "Picking Peaches".
It was at Keystone that he had his primary success as a film comedian.
Although Harry's humor was not the typical slapstick style that Sennett featured in his other films, he sensed that Harry had a unique talent all his own, and he assigned top writers and directors to work with him, including the writer Arthur Ripley, and the young directors Harry Edwards and Frank Capra.
They developed Harry's innocent childlike man with the powdered face and the big staring eyes into a huge success at the box office.
Most of the laughs were obtained through creating scenarios which featured Harry's character in helpless or dangerous situations,
while he tried desperately to save himself through pathetic, childlike means.
Harry Langdon's babyish character didn't adapt well to sound films; as producer Hal Roach remarked, "he was not so funny articulate."
But Langdon was a big enough name to command leads in short subjects for Educational Pictures and Columbia Pictures.
Upon his death, The New York Times wrote, "His whole appeal was a consummate ability to look inexpressibly forlorn when confronted with manifold misfortunes-usually of the domestic type.
He was what was known as 'dead-pan'... the feeble smile and owlish blink which had become his stock-in-trade caught on in a big way, and he skyrocketed to fame and fortune."

Buster Keaton: The "Great Stone Face" of the silent screen
Joseph Francis 'Buster' Keaton (October 4, 1895 - February 1, 1966) was an Academy Award-winning American silent film comic actor and film maker.
His trademark was physical comedy with a stoic, dead pan expression on his face, earning him the nickname "The Great Stone Face".
Buster Keaton was born into a vaudeville family.
At the age of three, Buster began performing with his parents in "The Three Keatons".
Keaton's silent films are characterized by clever visual gags and technical trickery.
