Miss de Vère (English Jig) ( French: Miss de Vère) was an 1896 French silent film directed by Georges Méliès. It was released by Méliès's Star Film Company and is numbered 45 in its catalogues. [1] The performer, the "Miss de Vère" of the title, is the dancer and actress Constance Elise de Vere. [2] She was, along with Clementine de Vere, a daughter of Charles de Vere (real name H. S. G. Williams), an Englishman who had worked as a professional magician and who was then the owner of a Paris shop selling conjuror's supplies, electrical equipment, and films. [3] Constance Elise de Vere, [4] known professionally as Elise de Vere, married Frank Joseph Godsol in Newark, NJ on December 8, 1917. [5]
Miss de Vère in a complete form is currently presumed lost, but a flipbook produced by Léon Beaulieu around 1896–97, rediscovered in the mid-2010s in a private collection, appears to preserve a fragment of the film. [6]
