The films were designed for a café-concert stunt in which Paulus would sing behind the screen as the films were projected, giving the illusion of a sound film.[2] All five films are currently presumed lost.[3] SummaryThe English and French release titles, as well as the Star Film Company catalog numbers, for the films were as follows:[3]
Production and releasePaulus, then nearing the end of his long and celebrated career as a pro-Boulangist entertainer, approached Méliès with the concept for the stunt.[4] The series was filmed at Méliès's theater of illusions, the Théâtre Robert-Houdin in Paris.[2] In order to provide enough light for his film camera, Méliès included fifteen arc lamps and fifteen mercury-vapor lamps in his setup, making the Comedian Paulus Singing series the first known use of artificial light in a motion picture.[4] Three of the films (Derrière l'Omnibus, Coquin de Printemps, and Duelliste Marsellais) were sold through the catalogs of Méliès's studio, the Star Film Company, for both French and American film markets.[3] The other two, which featured Paulus singing hymns of praise to the controversial political figure Georges Ernest Boulanger, were filmed for the café-concert performance but not included in the Star Film catalogs,[2] as Méliès himself was a fervent anti-Boulangist.[5] References1. ^{{cite book|last=Hammond|first=Paul|title=Marvellous Méliès|year=1974|publisher=Gordon Fraser|location=London|isbn=0900406380|page=136}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite book|last=Sadoul|first=Georges|title=Georges Méliès|year=1970|publisher=Éditions Seghers|location=Paris|page=137}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite book|last=Frazer|first=John|title=Artificially Arranged Scenes: The Films of Georges Méliès|year=1979|publisher=G.
