Share of 100 francs to the bearer issued in Paris in 1923. Illustrated with a rooster, emblem of the Pathé brand.

The Pathé company was founded by Charles and Emile Pathé in 1896. Émile took charge of the company's phonographic operations and Charles devoted himself to cinema.

Pathé-Baby is the name given by Charles Pathé to a small-format home theater system for the general public. Launched in 1922, it uses a 9.5 mm wide film with central perforations, the smallest format existing at the time. The internal mechanism is produced by the Continsouza company. Films must be purchased from Pathé Cinéma.

The head office of the company was located 22 rue Saint-Sauveur in Paris.
