Early Films 3 (1900)

This clip is a fragment of the 1906 Pathé film "Aladdin et la lampe merveilleuse," directed by Albert Capellani and Segundo de Chomón. A spectacular and apparently complete hand-colored print survives elsewhere (and, at the time of this writing, is available on YouTube); however, this black-and-white fragment preserves more visual detail. Bravo to the 35mm Stock Footage collection for making these clips available!

Great looking snippet of a Aladdin movie, where Aladdin is suddenly trapped in a secret tomb where he finds a lamp! The genie gets him out, makes him filthy rich! Unfortunately, a magician gets his hands on the lamp, and makes the genie take everything away! He even steals his wife! What will happen? Uh, I dunno! The film snippet ends there!
