    Victory for brains
    This primitive picture in two parts illustrates that the struggle between brute force and brains has always resulted in victory for brains. The young man dreams he is the primitive leader of the stone club men. His tribe eventually faces annihilation at the hands of the low cave men who have found the secret of his power, the stone club. Then the inventive brain is stimulated and gives birth to a new idea. - The Moving Picture World, May 9, 1914
