Film notes

To revenge the death of her husband, shot during a strike, a woman murders the director of the factory. The director’s son admits his father’s mistake and asks the woman for forgiveness. “The Apotheosis shows us Labour with the face of a factory worker and Capital with the features of a rich man determined to join forces to bring happiness and fortune to everyone in the future. Justice appears and presides over this loyal alliance”.

Henri Bousquet, Catalogue Pathé des années 1896 à 1914
