Le théâtre de Bob (1906)

English title: Bob's Electric Theater.
Synopsis: Some kids are spending some idle time when one of them comes up with the idea of staging a puppet show. Then we are shown two puppets on a small stage, engaged in various sorts of interactions, among which fencing is the most prominent one. The action is organized in acts, as in a play. In the last act the puppets are changed, and we see a guy that performs some gymnastics.
Appraisal: Impressive technique for the time at which it was made. Quite entertaining and lively.
