                 ————————————————————————————————————

Da ist Max Linder im "Erfolg des Gaukelspiels" im Kampf mit einem Rivalen um die Gunst einer schφnen, reichen Erbin zu sehen, der auf dem Boden des Parketts gefόhrt wird und durch einen schlauen Trick des listigen Gegners mit einer bedauerlichen Niederlage unseres Freundes endet. (Projektion, 9.5.1912)

                 ————————————————————————————————————

For a trifle more than half a reel, Max Linder proves amusing in a typically French farce. As a parlor entertainer, Max's laurels are threatened by a magician, who causes water to spout from the most unlikely places and otherwise surprises the guests. Max pays for a lesson in mystifying tricks, and receives a bottle of ointment that if applied to the face is guaranteed to render a blow painless. He experiments on his hostess with disastrous consequences. D. (The New York Dramatic Mirror, 24.6.1914)

Weitere Filmbeschreibungen/Kritiken:

 

Max is angry because a rival outshines him at a social evening, through the production of a spout of water from his host's head by forcing air into that gentleman's mouth with a pair of bellows. Max tries to copy the trick on reaching home. The results are worse than negative. His rival decides to rid himself once and for all of Max. He orders his own valet to write to Max as if he were a conjuror, and to promise to teach him a good trick. Max parts with a liberal sum in exchange for a bottle of water, supposed, if previously applied to the cheek, to deaden the pain of any blow. Max brags about his new trick, and dabs a little of the water on the cheek of his hostess. Needless to say, the terrific blow he gives her almost stuns her, and in social circles Max's star has now disappeared. (The Bioscope, May 2nd 1912)
