Le fils du diable fait la noce à Paris (1906)

English title: Son of the Devil.

Synopsis (SPOILERS): The devil's son is feeling down and a doctor is summoned. The doctor says that only a wife will cure him, so they go to Paris to find a wife for him. He settles for a peasant girl, but during the wedding he gets scared at the sight of a cross and runs back to hell. The bride gets sad and commits suicide, ending... guess where?

Appraisal: Interesting short (16 minutes long) film, with good sets, costumes and weird masks.
