About Léonce: Cinematographer
Léonce (Léonce Perret) finishes a sentimental picture at the Gaumont studio and gets a note from an admirer, Lucienne Pintard, who says she sits at the Magic Palace every night in row 12. At home his wife Poupette (Suzanne Le Bret) finds a long hair on his coat and then the letter. She writes back, sending the woman to row 13, and does not believe his Gaumont note about night shooting. At the Magic Palace a man and a woman in the dark take each other for the date. She slaps him.
