Jacques Feyder enjoyed a long, fruitful career as a director, celebrated for such films as The Kiss (1929, starring Greta Garbo) and Knight without Armor (1937, with Marlene Dietrich). Feyder cultivated his talents in the 1910a at the Gaumont studios, where a carefully-curated stable of innovative directors were advancing the artistic finesse of the adolescent art form. In addiction to Feyder's sophisticated comedies, this volume showcases a wide variety of other forms, impeccable executed: slapstick, realism, and experimental film. This disc also presents samples of the astounding technical achievements that Gaumont had mastered, years before they became standard practice, such as Phonoscene, a synchronized sound process presented to the public via the chronomegaphone sound-on-disc system. - Heads....and Women Who Use Them - Friendly Advice - Biscot on the Wrong Floor - The Long Arm of the Law - The Barges - La Marseillaise - A Drama of the Air - Child's Play - Feet and Hands - A Factory Drama - The Pavements of Paris - The Fairy's Farewell
