Unusual Cooking

1908 · 3 min

A playful, flickering magic trick of a film, all jerky stop-motion mischief and kitchen chaos that delights more than it demands.

Overview
A chef comes into the kitchen and throws a lot of rags on the floor: he then casts a spell over them, and immediately they take the form of human beings, and dance a wild saraband around the place. After performing many unique tricks they disappear into space, and are replaced by a group of knives and forks, pans, kettles and spoons. (Moving Picture World)
