27 min. Positively one of the most thrilling animal acts ever presented in vaudeville. There is an interesting moving picture preceding the appearance of the lions and holds the audience interested. Marck appears in a cage with four ferocious lions, while other members of the company, including two women, two men and a child are huddled behind a drop showing the interior of a house. Marck puts the lions through their paces and as a climax has them jumping about the stage in apparant [sic] wild frenzy. It is a most striking finish and held the audience spellbound for a few minutes and then closed to a tremendous round of applause.
