On The War David Lloyd George By SIR SIDNEY LOW The Romantic Life Story of the Great Welsh Statesman Produced by The Ideal Film Renting Co., Ltd., LONDON (Under the sole direction of MAURICE ELVEY) TEN PARTS TEN PARTS Which allied Statesman, outside America, has most CAPTURED THE IMAGINATION and won the hearts of the world? Beyond a doubt it is DAVID LLOYD GEORGE, the great little Welshman, who has fought his way up by sheer grit, FROM COTTAGE TO PARLIAMENT, from bookmaker's protege to the Champion of England and the cause of civilization! Fiction in its most fascinating pages contains no more captivating chapter than the real-life ROMANCE OF DAVID LLOYD GEORGE. The old saying that "Truth is stranger than Fiction" has received no more wonderful exemplification than in Lloyd George's great upward climb to leadership. America and Lloyd George To-day the entire world hangs upon his every utterrance and in particular no international figure makes so VIVID an APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA! His picturesque speech, his freedom from the spirit of caste, his rise to fame from humble origins, his determination to make the common people prevail over TYRANTS IN PURPLE, all give him in especial degree the ear and the heart of the Democracy of the United States. Like Abraham Lincoln It is not to be wondered at that the Nation that produced an ABRAHAM LINCOLN should admire such a figure as DAVID LLOYD GEORGE, for there is something wonderfully akin in the characters and careers of the two men. The "Ideal Film Renting Co.," whose famous master-pieces such as "MY OLD DUTCH" and "MASKS AND FACES" found a warm welcome in America, have been engaged for AN ENTIRE YEAR ON THE PICTURE! — such is their determination to make it accurate as well as realistic! The life story of LLOYD GEORGE, besides its fascinating romance, will be the most vivid illustration of THE REAL OBJECTS OF THE WAR that has yet been anywhere exhibited. Through it move such famous Americans as WASHINGTON, LINCOLN, WILSON, etc., and it is, otherwise, PACKED WITH INTEREST FOR THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA. Showing Soon THE LIFE STORY OF DAVID LLOYD GEORGE will be shown to the Trade in London in October. Those who may be interested please communicate at the earliest moment with the "IDEAL FILM RENTING CO., LTD ," 76-78 WARDOUR STREET, LONDON, W. 1., and arrange without fail to be represented at the Trade Show.
