Carmencita
William K.L. Dickson 1894 USA
Famous dancer Carmencita performs to camera.
Similar to Serpentine Dances which Edison's company made a year later; that film is an improvement on this because the dance itself is beautiful to watch. This is just mildly interesting, but might be essential viewing as one of several films that are evidence of the emergence stardom in Cinema, the notion of going to see films in order to relate to the performers in them.
