Patouillard toréador Filming Locations

Bill is wandering along the street vainly endeavoring to attract the attention of a lady, when he is brought to a halt by a large notice, "Bal Masque." The lady enters and Bill follows, but he is rudely ejected, as only persons in fancy dress costume are admitted. So Bill hies to a second hand costumer, who fits him up, and soon he enters the ballroom garbed as a toreador. There among the sparkle of the lights, the glitter of costumes, the smiles of the fair and the gay sounds of laughter Bill searches for the object of his attentions. His search is soon rewarded, for he discovers her sitting in the shade, and forthwith flops down upon his knees and proposes. Seeing the nature of her lover's costume, the maiden decided to have a little fun, and so she enlists the assistance of two other members of the party. Throwing a bull's skin over themselves and completing the disguise with the assistance of a head with formidable horns, these two conspirators charge into the room. The maiden then tells Bill that if he will fight the bull she will favor his suit. One sight of the Bovril in full gallop is enough, however, for poor Bill, whose little heart goes pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat and soon his little legs begin to move violently and he puts his best leg foremost pursued by the bull. He meets two patrolmen, who immediately consult the official book of rules, which says, "When there is trouble afoot be sure to put two of three blocks between that and your valuable person." This they do and with alacrity. The sport then commences in dead earnest and they have an exciting time in the course of their flight. But when it is discovered what the bull is there is a hot time for poor Bill.
