A New Film by Mr. Machin

Mr. Machin, whose studio is in Nice, is this informed filmmaker, with original ideas, who had the idea of ​​mixing animals with film actors.

His initiative has been a perfect success. In this newspaper we were the first to publish an amusing series of scenes from this film which is rightly enjoying great success in both worlds, "Beasts like men".

One of the most prominent "actors" of the Machin studio is the monkey Auguste, whose intelligence is truly extraordinary and would prove in itself that man is descended from this singular animal.

In many films, Auguste has played leading roles and always with perfect understanding.

The original photograph that we are happy to put before the eyes of our readers today shows Auguste in a scene from a new film by Mr. Machin, "The Heart of the Beggars".

The strange monkey this time has as a partner the eminent member of the Comédie-Française, Mr. Maurice de Féraudy…

This is a document of rare interest that does the greatest honor to the stage art of the great actor; it shows once again the surprising gifts of Auguste who, after having astonished all those who approached him, truly made again during a recent visit to the studio of Mr. Machin, the admiration of Her Majesty the Queen of Italy.
