Sold as Star Film numbers 1429–1441. The French title is La Bonne Bergère et la Mauvaise Princesse. A CNC style analysis says the director was probably Manuel, an actor on the staff, rather than Méliès. Effects use stage machinery, pyrotechnics, substitution splices, and dissolves. Part of it was shot outdoors in the garden beside the studios.
