Miss de Vère (English Jig) (French: Miss de Vère) was an 1896 French silent film directed by Georges Méliès.

S. G. Williams), an Englishman who had worked as a professional magician and who was then the owner of a Paris shop selling conjuror's supplies, electrical equipment, and films.[3] Constance Elise de Vere,[4] known professionally as Elise de Vere, married Frank Joseph Godsol in Newark, NJ on December 8, 1917.[5]
