First uniform stealing with bound and gagged damsel of ever

[Lovegaggeddamsel]

https://vk.com/video215284776_456239776 .A french movie recently rediscovered and restored in exceptional condition,released in 1913,"Protea".
The heroine of the title is the progenitor of the secret agents that we will see decades later, especially in the 60s. Works with the good guys, but uses tricks, disguises, daring escapes, and tight onesies, which anticipate Musidora's Irma Vep, by 2 years. At 25 min. Protea, along with an accompanying male, replaces the wife of an ambassador along with her husband by tying and gagging both on the floor. It appears that this is the first scene female uniform stealing,with DID bound and gagged, and replaced in cinema history!!

Incredible find!

Great find. A classic bit of USB history.

For those interested in F/M scenes, there is also a bit at 19:10 where she steals a male soldier's clothes.

Apparently there were a few Protea films made back then, but the others seem to have been lost... for now, anyway.
