A professional magician, Méliès is usually credited with discovering film’s inherent ‘narrative potential’ (See David A. During his 1904 sojourn in Paris, Joyce may also have seen some of the trickfilms Méliès was showing near his hotel (See Robert Ryf, A New Approach to Joyre: A Portrait of the Artist As a Guidebook (Berkeley: University of Califomia Press, 1962), p. The Volta showed at least three Cretinetti reels, as well as other trickfilms and ‘object animations’, such as PathB’s Le Ch6teau hant6 (1908), during its ‘Joycean’ period of less than four months (I am indebted for that invaluable information to Luke McKeman’s research into the Volta’s programmes for the BFI, from the Liam O’Leary archive).

Méliès claimed that his training of Deed ensured the latter’s future success in Mes Memoires (1938) (repr. Significantly, Deed had worked with IvIEliBs from roughly 1901–6 (See the entry on Deed (which also discusses An Easy K’ ay) in Glenn Mitchell, A-Z of Silent Film Comedy: An Illustrated Companion (London: Batsford, 1998), pp. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2000) Ch.III, p.

The paradox is that Joyce was just as interested in the medium, for its ‘lowbrow’ appeal, as for its avant-garde potentials, and his work was all the more innovative, formally and philosophically, for that. Indeed, what seems most remarkable about the manifold parallels with early movies in Joyce’s texts is the sheer catholicity of his taste. 1 In this sense, Joyce was prescient, as well as democratic, in embracing this popular medium for the groundbreaking possibilities it helped fertilise in his work. Not only did James Joyce become professionally involved with early film in his ill-starred venture to set up Ireland’s first regular cinema in 1909–10, but his own formative movie-going took place when the industry was still all but shunned as vulgar catchpenny entertainment of scant aesthetic worth, by most ‘serious’ writers and cultural pundits.
