Napoléon et la Sentinelle

LUM 1897-02


Napoleon and the Sentinel

Depicting Napoleon discovering a Sentinel asleep while on duty. The Emperor takes his musket and mounts guard. Suddenly the soldier awakes and to his horror realizes his position and certain punishment.

The above productions are historically correct as to surroundings, costume and make-up of the principals. The incidents portrayed are enacted with such marvellous realism, that it seems almost impossible that one is only viewing a counterfeit production and not the actual cold-blooded deeds committed during The "Reign of Terror" over one hundred years ago.

NOTE.-Much research and study were necessary in order to properly present these historical events, but it is our intention to continually add to this series until the principal incidents in the history of the world are included.
