Trans-Atlantic Rex. 1,796 ft, approx. Released February 7fch,1916. Wo defy any one to describe this strange, outlandish, funny, thrilling', unusual, hair-raising, nerve-racking, uproarious, screamingly ridiculous picture. It is the weirdest combination of fun and fearlessness; of lions and laughter ; terror and tigers; giggles and goats : jubilation and jaguars ; elation and elephants : chuckles and camels ; guffaws and a gorilla — but you'll have to see it. Joe Martin is a real, live gorilla out in Universal City. Taul ^^^ Bourgeois is in charge of the Universal Zoo. In \^^ "" ^v this comic scream the gorilla is sent to him as a present. Mr. Bourgeois is in the character of an old maid. Sho goes to a circus, and Joe, following unseen, unlocksall the animal cages and literally '■'turns 'em loose." See it without fail.
