plateau upon which live prehistoric monsters and ape-men. They, manage to reach the top of the plateau, but find their return cut off by a monster which destroys their makeshift bridge. They encounter huge prehistoric animals of great ferocity — who attack each other and their discoverers. After making a thrilling escape, they return to England, bringing with them a brontosaurus the size of ten elephants to prove their discovery.
Arriving in London, the great beast breaks loose and creates havoc among the people, and finally crashes through the famous London bridge, landing in the river, and swims out to the ocean and freedom.
Among the thrills is a volcanic eruption in the heart of the "lost world," the lava from which ignites a forest and causes flocks of the prehistoric dinosaurs, etc., to leave their lairs and flee before the approaching flames.
This picturization of Conan Doyle's astonishing story combines the scientific reproduction of former ages with modern romance in a thrilling, stupendous spectacle of breathless interest to every spectator.

8153 Code SEMO The Red Raiders First National
Featuring Ken Maynard, Ann Drew, F. P. McGowan and the Wonder
Horse, "Tarzan"
A stage coach — an antiquated affair from our modern point of view, but the accepted vehicle of its day — rattles across the Western plains. Inside, distinguished from the other passengers by her comeliness, sits a young woman who is on her way to join her brother at a ranch dangerously near hostile Indian territory. Attentive to her — so far as he can be under the circumstances — is a young army officer who has been assigned to a military post in the heart of the Indian domain. The Indians are known to be far from peacefully inclined. With such a setting, something is certain to happen!
It happens very soon — and with plenty of action and thrills. An attack on the coach by Indians gives a thrilling chase in which the young oflScer, Lieutenant Scott, by clever trickery and wonderful riding, thwarts the raiders and brings the stage safely to the post, where he is acclaimed a hero by everyone except Captain Ortwell, his superior officer, who resents having any heroes around the place besides himself.
Of course, Captain Ortwell and Lieutenant Scott are rivals for the affections of the young woman, Jane Logan, who visits the fort. To get his rival at least temporarily, and perhaps permanently, out of the way, Captain Ortwell assigns to Lieutenant Scott the dangerous errand of forestalling an Indian raid, fomented by a treacherous redskin, Scarface, who is actually spying within the fort.
This is an exceptionally good Western drama, and will thrill every spectator. 1957 feet — on 5 reels Rental $5.00
