Quite a nice little adventure yarn from the early golden days of the Danish cinema, lovingly restored into near-pristine condition and released by the Danish Film Institute (on a DVD with what seems to be be the sequel, The Bear Tamer). It can seem a wee bit slow moving, but it never becomes boring - there's a fire and a great deal of jealousy and some perilous situations and last minute escapes. Pretty good for 1912. There's the additional bonus of the quite pretty Lili Bech, who must take home the Oscar as the most smoking woman on the screen - she has a cigar in her teeth about 98 percent of her screen time! The circus picture was a very popular genre at that time. There are at least 4 circus movies from about 1910-1915 released by the Danish Film Institute.
