Well folks, it's finally time to say goodbye to our boi, our main man, and the legend himself, Papa Georges Méliès. This year Pathé angles him out of house and home and soon he burns all his films he owns in a rebellious rage. :(
Meanwhile, feature films are getting started, including the earliest surviving American one, filmed in Westchestah! We also have the first narrative film with an all-Black cast, a fun one too! Listen along, folks! Also I hope you all appreciate my Joe's Apartment reference.
