Self - Subject:
The first contact between me and Mr. Lumière happened as a result of fortuitous circumstances. I ran into him on the stairs of the theater I managed, the Robert Houdin theater. Since he knew me by sight, he told me, "Say Mr. Méliès, since you are in the habit, during your shows, of surprising the audience, I would love to invite you to com to the Grand Café." "Why?", I answered. "Because you will see something that might surprise you." When I saw his camera, projecting still photographs, a the beginning, I said, "You bothered me for projections? I've been doing them for 20 years. Nothing extraordinary about them." Then, suddenly, I saw the character moving, coming towards us. A few minutes later, a train launched, it almost went through the screen, straight into the audience. We were all, I must say, absolutely astounded. I immediately thought, that's my business, an extraordinary thing.
