Kindertheater (19??)

Julius Neubronner (1852-1932), a chemist and inventor from Kronberg was one of the first people to film in the Rhine-Main region. In 1903 he acquired his first film camera, an Ernemann "Kino" for 17.5mm film with center perforation. With his camera Neubronner recorded historical events as well as the everyday life of his family. Furthermore, he also shot short sketches performed by himself and his family on a stage set-up in the garden of their home. In "Children's Theatre" a short staged play with four children in traditional costume can be seen. The stage is modelled on a tavern. A girl is sitting at the spinning wheel and two boys at the table are brought drinks by another little boy. This is followed by a dance scene, which one of the boys accompanies on a plucking instrument.
