La Ceinture électrique

Un des plus grands succès de rire.

Une jeune femme, trouvant son mari un peu froid, lui achète une des ceintures électriques tant vantées dans les journaux. Mais cette ceinture change bien des fois de propriétaire, d'où la cause de multiples incidents comiques.

The Wonderful Electrtic Belt

The husband has a bad pain in his back. His wife gets an electric belt; puts it in his overcoat; it makes him hump all over the place and want to kiss every woman he meets. He is arrested; the magistrate accidentally puts on the coat and goes through the same performance; many amusing complications follow.

Etienne Arnaud avait déjà tourné un film à court métrage : " l'ascenseur electrique ". À ce moment-là on avait dit " c'est de la haute folie", et  pourtant ça s'est vendu pas mal.

THE WONDERFUL ELECTRIC BELT
This Picture is electrified right through. A continuous current of Fun (not alternating). The Film is electrify and grip an audience. A subject of high voltage.
Re THE WONDERFUL ELECTRIC BELT.
We find that one of our contemporaries has considered this film worth copying, even copying our description as on this page. Imitation is the surest flattery, but we are the original producers of this film, which was put on the market some three weeks ago.
