On the face of it, there is no good reason for believing this film has anything to do with Segundo de Chomón. He was extremely busy making his first Spanish films in 1904-1905 in Barcelona and did not come to Paris until summoned by Charles Pathé in the Spring of 1906, following the defection of Gaston Velle to Cines in Italy which is when. his career with Pathé would really begin. Chomón had worked as a colourist for Pathé since about 1901 but this film is simply tinted and is not known to have been colourised., and from around 1904 the firm of Macaya y Marro, one of those for which he worked in Spain, became accredited Pathé representatives in Barcelona and Chomón began to make topicalities (actualités) in the city for Pathé. He also seems to have had some input into two Pathé films in 1905, Le Roi des dollars and Velle's Poule aux oeufs d'or which were in both cases based on films made earlier by Chomón in Spain for the Sala Mercé. These films by Chomón and Adrià Gual, seem in some cases to have been adapted from existing Pathé films, occasionally included actualités filmed by Chomón for Pathé and, as in the two cases mentioned, might themselves have been the basis for films re-edited for Pathé. There is one title amongst them - Una soirée agitada which appeared in Barcelona in December 1904 - that may have been the basis for this film, possibly like the others, re-edited by Gaston Velle. But the title is a common one for trick films, from the time of the earliest Méliès films, and the similarity could be purely coincidence.
