As a first-time visitor to your site, I am more than impressed.

The musical accompaiment (sp?) was just right. The last few segments brought to mind Isadore Duncan and Lady G.

Did American films ever venture to show the potential of film the way these segments do?

And the closing sequences blew me from here to Amsterdam.

Is there a little more information regarding the content of this "Programme." I realize that these are the only known Paul Nadar films; is he known to have made others? Were these ever publicly exhibited? Are these definitively seen as a group -- a program -- or are there titles and/or specifics available regarding the individual items within? At the beginning of No. 2, there is a herald -- "Mme. Zambelli" -- that presumably identifies the dancer in that sequence, who seems to be the ballerina in the first scene. The third dance looks to be Loïe Fuller or one of her many imitators; most early films credited to Fuller are imitators instead, but this looks like it might be her -- kind of hard to make out the face as it's available in so few shots. What is the nationality of costume in No. 4 -- perhaps Greek or Albanian? I've never been to Paris, so I don't recognize the location of the two winter scenes which close the clip. Any answers appreciated.

The dancer is Carlotta Zambelli. Nadar is giving us the clue just before the second scene, with the Parisian street name shot "Zambelli" She was born in Milano, trained at The Scala ballet school, came to the Paris Opera school and became a Prima Ballerina of the Paris. She was a sensational dancer for those times. The first to do tons of fouettes!!!

I believe in the first extract of this film Carlotta Zambelli is the man character, the one who does the plits.

I meant the Folk dance extract, sorry, Carlotta Zambelli is the one doing the splits!!
