[78-L] Help Identifying a 78

[Bertrand CHAUMELLE]

These short films were called "Phonoscènes", to be played on Gaumont's 
Chronophone.
One of them, titled "Jerusalem" has survived and can be found on a DVD.
1914 was the last year of the Phonoscènes. Gaumont then switched to 
sound-on-film, begininnig in 1920.
