Léontine’s Apprenticeship
1911 · 10m · Comedy
It’s high time for tomboy Titine to settle down and learn a useful trade. Instead, she terrorizes any shop owner foolish enough to audition her labor. In a throwback to the third episode, where she apprentices for a milliner, Titine drops a carton of fancy hats that are crushed by a steamroller. Then she throws a cake at the baker’s best customer and insults a woman with large feet at the shoe store.
