La lanterne magique (1903)

English title: The Magic Lantern.
Synopsis: Two men assemble a huge square-shaped device that works at first as a cinematographic projector; subsequently, they open it and several dancing girls come out of it; from then on, it will either produce people or make them disappear inside it.
Appraisal: One of the many 'trick' films made by Méliès around that time. It is moderately entertaining, and has some additional interest for showing a 'trick' film within it.
