L'envieuse (1911)

Vintage French collector's card. From our Album Pathé 1911. The names on the cards refer to the scriptwriters, not the directors (although they sometimes coincide). For L'envieuse (1911), the scriptwriter was Mévisto, but the director Albert Capellani. According to the Fondation Pathé, Capellani was co-writer of the script.

Plot: André de Baudy (Adolphe Candé), an engineer at an industrial firm, earns an annual salary of 20,000 francs. His earnings are not enough to cover the expenses of his wife, Hélène (Léontine Massart), who, tempted by the luxury enjoyed by her wealthier friends, resents the simplicity of her wardrobe—no jewelry, no furs, no lace. One day, haunted by the desire to own a pearl necklace, she enters a jewelry store and has the shopkeeper show her various sets. But their prices far exceed her expectations. Was she to give up the jewel that had promised her so much joy? In a moment of madness, she slips one of the precious necklaces into her pocket and rushes out. The theft is soon discovered and the thief arrested. Her husband, upon learning of it, refuses to forgive her, and the unfortunate woman must serve her sentence: six months in prison. During her absence, their daughter, little Yvonne (Hacquard), falls seriously ill. Deprived of her mother’s tenderness and care, the child wastes away. The doctor hesitates to give a prognosis when the mother, finally released, returns to beg for forgiveness. André allows her to come and care for her child, and after overcoming the illness through long and devoted care, the guilty woman finally obtains his forgiveness.

The other actors were Maurice Luguet, Dupont-Morgan, Camille Steyaert, and Andrée Marly.

Plot: The fairies, having enchanted the childhoods of past generations, have turned their backs on today’s youth—positive and skeptical. Paul, who doesn’t believe in fairy tales, tries to destroy the enthusiastic faith of his little sister Jeanne, who loves to read them. The fairies, scorned, leave the earth; but they will no longer send children their beautiful dreams of yesteryear, and Paul, plagued by terrible nightmares, recalls those he had spoken ill of. And Melusine, Morgane, Urgèle, Viviane, the White Lady, witches, sylphs, and wood spirits return to fill the peaceful nights and joyful evenings of little children with happy dreams.
