THE TRIUMPH OF STRENGTH. THE TRIUMPH OF STRENGTH. (2000 feet “ Ambrosia” film in 2 parts). A POWERFUL DRAMA, featuring a most exciting and thrilling adventure with lions. To secure realism to his symbolic group, “The Triumph of Strength,” a sculptor hires a number of lions as models, and has them conveyed to his studio. ' The trainer’s carelessness lets the lions loose, and the sculptor and his child are confined in the studio with the savage beasts, unarmed and cut off from escape. The mother’s heroism finds a way to freedom, but not before many hairbreadth escapes and thrilling incidents have taken place. This splendid feature will be supported by a programme of quite unusual merit. Circle, 1/- ; Downstairs, 6d; Children, half price. ROYAL STAR PICTURES. PROGRAMME.
