A short film produced in 1928 to promote the Folies Bergeres. The fireman on duty at the Folies reels out of the theatre, dazzled by all the naked women he's seen. Everywhere he looks, people are transformed into nude showgirls; the band in a club, the patrons in a bar, even his fellow firemen at the fire station doing group exercises become naked women doing knee-bends. On the way there, he descends into a Metro station, where he finds Josephine Baker (not naked, but wearing a short skirt and bra) sweeping the platform. She does one of her gangling comic dances for his benefit.

A painter and two muses visually discuss the boundaries of Art, in terms of creative process. In the first part (Thesis), the painter destroys a canvas. By doing that, he affirms that Art can not be really controlled, i.e. when an artist creates, he can not fully control the creative process. In the Antithesis, the first muse negates the Thesis, by gently attaching a flower to a canvas. Finally, in the Synthesis, the conflict is resolved: an artistic creative process could be controlled only under certain circumstances, which are revealed by the second muse. AWARDS:
