Princess Nicotine; or, The Smoke Fairy

1909 · 5 min Comedy Fantasy
5.8 / 10 · TMDB

A smoker falls asleep, and two mischievious fairies play with his pipe. He discovers this, and imprisons them in a cigar box. He removes a flower from the box, which contains a fairy smoking a cigarette. Next, he leaves briefly while his smoking paraphenalia clears itself from the table and the flower reassembles itself into a cigar. He lights the cigar, then breaks a bottle containing the fairy, who interacts with him in various ways reeling from his cigar smoke, building a bonfire that he extinguishes, etc.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedy on the playful rebellion of miniature fairies against a slumbering giant. It relies on early special effects—stop-motion and multiple exposures—to bring its smoke-born sprites to life with a charming, mischievous energy.

What lingers after viewing is a sense of pure cinematic play, a reminder of film's roots in visual trickery and whimsical storytelling. It's a delightful fossil of fantasy. — MovieFinder Editorial
