Summary
Pathe Intertitles - "Many millions have seen the Folies Bergeres Show from the front of the house. Few, however, have penetrated into the land of ladders, stairways and machines behind, where the mechanic rules -".
"In and out of this maze of men and machines, the artists speed to their stations -".
"But little do the audience know of the work beneath the stage when, say, that spectacular fan rises from the ground and unfolds its stately plumes -".
Researcher Comments
A short handwritten shot list is present in the Pathe boxfile, as does a typewritten copy of the original French intertitles.
