So it's not really exceptional when compared to other movies by the director. Méliès may have done better before in longer movies, but this attempt is a fun diversion. It begins with a jester who appears on a pyramid of chairs, makes a trunk appear, and brings men out of it which sit on the pyramid before being turned into ladies. While little can be said about the material, the edits here are as usual very seamless-looking and hold up well even now. The surviving print (one more recently discovered by the FilmoTeca de Catalunya) is rough around the edges and at the beginning has some physical deterioration, so it could use some more restorations. All in all, it's only a mildly interesting diversion but pleasant while it lasts.
