Spanish filmmaker [[Segundo de Chomón]] (1871–1929) made many trick films in France for [[Pathé]]. He has often been compared to Georges Méliès as he also made many fantasy films with stop tricks and other illusions (helped by his wife, [[Julienne Mathieu]]).

The film used to be credited to Chomón, but he didn't come to Paris (to work for [[Pathé]]) until later. Direction and special effects have been attributed to Gaston Velle.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Le Théâtre de Bob (Gaston Velle, 1906) à voir en ligne sur HENRI, la plateforme des collections films de la Cinémathèque française |url=https://www.cinematheque.fr/henri/film/134620-le-theatre-de-bob-gaston-velle-1906/ |access-date=2025-02-15 |website=www.cinematheque.fr |language=fr}}</ref>
