This is a comedy that will make all hands sit up and take notice. It will be released Tuesday, Feb. 13. One thing is certain; it will be the comedy picture of that week, if not one of the strongest things in sensational comedy that has come along for many months. The story is all about an African explorer who on returning to Europe takes quarters at a "pension Français," or, in plain English, a boarding house. He is somewhat short of cash and runs up a good-sized board bill, but after a time the landlord becomes insistent upon payment. The explorer is finally corralled one morning in bed and threatened with eviction. He tells the maid that he has no money on his person, but asks him to go to his trunks and look for the purse. In the storeroom there are seven or eight large hampers belonging to the explorer, but neither the maid nor the explorer knows in which one the pocketbook is, so she decides to examine the lot of them. To her surprise and that of the beholder when she opens the first hamper a large full-grown lion leaps out of it into the room. Howevwe, she does not seem to fear the lion and opens a second hamper, from which another full-grown lion comes forth. In a very brief space of time the room is full of magnificent lions, and, apart from the comedy situation, they are a splendid sight indeed. The maid then takes to her heels to warn the household and, wherever she goes, the lions follow. There are numerous little private gatherings in the various rooms in the house and these are routed one by one by the approach of the lions. The landlord forgets all about his rent money and is glad to get away alive. The house is soon deserted except for the explorer. The lions finally reach his apartment and find him there in bed. Three or four of them jump upon the bed and lie down with their master while the others walk about the room. They behave exactly as if they were a pack of large mastiffs, and one marvels at the thorough manner in which these beasts have been broken for handling. Any exhibitor will make no mistake in booking this picture as a Saturday night feature. It is one of the best that has appeared in a long time. - The Moving Picture World, February 10, 1912
