Comedian Paulus Singing

1897 · Directed by Georges Méliès · silent film

Comedian Paulus Singing (French: Paulus chantant) is a series of five French short silent films made in 1897 by Georges Méliès, starring the popular café-concert singer Paulus. The films were designed for a café-concert stunt in which Paulus would sing behind the screen as the films were projected, giving the illusion of a sound film. All five films are currently presumed lost.
