Beasts of the Jungle

Post by Kitty »

I came across this one in the March 1913 edition of Motion Picture Story. It caught my eye because of the tiger in the picture. Apparently this used to be posted on the Eastman site, but doesn't seem to be anymore, which is a shame, because I am fascinated when real animals are used in old film. From a review I read on IMDB, I think the film was a little different at the end. This story is very unbelievable, yet it's still enjoyable to read, and I like the written story better than the way the review described the film. I'll post the link and also pictures of the pages to be read. Oh, I forgot to mention that I decided to post about this because it was directed by Alice Guy-Blache.

You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)
