The Invention of Hugo Cabret

We have been reading The Invention of Hugo Cabret this term.  While we were reading it we discovered that one of the characters, Georges Melies, was a real person.  We had lots of questions about him so Kenneth did some research and he has created a doc with some information on Georges.  Here is his finished research:
