"Satan S'amuse," Segunda de Chomon, 1907




In this silent film from 1907 ~"In an unnamed place, Satan is bored. Despite his servants' exertions, nothing can be found to cheer him up." According to weirdwildrealm.com ~ Teruel Segundo de Chomon y Ruiz (1871-1929) was an Aragonese film pioneer who worked in Paris for Pathe from 1905-1910. His association with Pathe began in 1901 when from Barcelona he hand-tinted Pathe releases, & his own earliest works from 1902 were distributed in France by Pathe.
