Released October 2. l'J22 HAMILTON THEATRICAL COaPORATION PRESENTS The Mysteries of India' A GREAT picture— massive in every detail— scenes, settings and story. Made on a scale of splendor and grandeur to thrill and amaze, and yet allow of fullest entertainment. One year and a half was spent in the making. To ensure accuracy, a vast army of experts journeyed to India and their researches have resulted in the following: Replicas of ancient temples built in their exact natural sires, with all of their delicate ornamentations and centuries old trimmings. Tremendous idols reproduced precisely as they are in the Land of the Rajahs, towering and aweinspiring. Entire streets built exactly as the travelers saw them, flanked with weird buildings and teeming with squalid people'^. Such are the settings, and woven around them all is a compelling, thrilling story of mystery and intrigue, swift in action and colorful in treatment. Fights with tigers, elephants and other deni:ens of India's jungles are mingled with^a tale of Indian magic and mystery in an absorbing and fascinating manner. A notable cast interprets the story, over fifty thousand people taking pare. Here is something different in the line of spectacular melodrama.
