Release and reception

The film was released by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 1460–1466 in its catalogues.[1] The New York Mirror gave the film a brief review after its American release as Seeing Things in December 1909, saying that "the subject possesses a fair amount of amusing interest."[3]
