KERMABON (Jacques) 
Pathé first empire of cinema 

Paris, Center Pompidou, 1994; large In-4° grape, publisher’s black cloth cardboard, under illustrated dust jacket, 473 pp.

With the century came cinema, with cinema came Pathé. The famous Rooster, emblem of the firm, signed both shooting and projection devices, films by the hundreds and watched over the studios. The story of Pathé is first and foremost that of a man Charles Pathé (1863-1957), a genius entrepreneur and industrialist, it is that of popular French cinema with the appearance of burlesque, drama, romance, comedy with its gallery of stars: Max Linder, Jean Gabin, Gaby Morlay, Fernandel… It is also the adventure of an art linked to a constantly renewed technique. This work, published on the occasion of the “Pathé, premier empire du cinéma” event at the Center Georges Pompidou, brings together previously unpublished archives illustrated with rare and sumptuous iconography.
