When showing this film for a cafe stunt, the actual comedian Paulus would sit behind the screen and sing along, as though the audience was viewing a sound film.
The fifth, and last film in Méliès's "Comedian Paulus Singing" film series.
This film and another in the series, which featured Paulus singing praise to the controversial political figure Georges Ernest Boulanger, were made for the cafe stunt but did not merit a number in Méliès's Star Film Catalogues, as Méliès himself was an anti-Boulangist.
