I assume the music scores are in stereo, except for this short in French mono? Does it have optional or burned-in English subtitles?

Le Grand Méliès is in English, with French on-screen text (title cards, credits, locations/times). No subs.

I assume you'll again be picky about which films you actually add to the database, so I'll note that Le Grand Méliès is available in HD and French with English subtitles as an extra on Arrow's "A Trip to the Moon".

The above film titles were as per the menu, though the title cards agree with your (and IMDB's) spelling.

[James-Masaki_Ryan]

I've made some additional Melies entries by separating the boxset entries to individual shorts, so now I can concentrate on adding this set, though it may take a few days due to other work with reviews that are backed up.

The Genie of Fire (1908) (4:32) (Joe Rinaudo)

IMDB says "The Genii of Fire". Is it "Genie" or "Genii"?

The Flicker Alley page says French Intertitles. Is this correct?

[Matt_Bailey]

IMDB says "The Genii of Fire". Is it "Genie" or "Genii"?

The title card on the disc lists it as "LE GENIE DU FEU/The Genii of Fire". The menu lists it as "Le Génie du feu/The Genie of Fire".

The Flicker Alley page says French Intertitles. Is this correct?

I'm not even aware of a Méliès film that uses intertitles so that would take forever to check. Title cards are bilingual. I can confirm that there is no external subtitle track, so if there are subs they're burned-in, and at that point it's just a bilingual intertitle, really. But again, I've never seen a Méliès that used intertitles, I'm not sure if any of them do.
