PRIMA DONNA IN LION’S CAGE FOR “MOVIES”

Mme. Emmy I)estinn, the worid-famoua prinia donna, recently played the most sensational part of her life. She is shown here with “Hercules,” one of the six Hagenback lions, in whose cage she appeared during the performance of “Lowenbraut” (the Lion’s Bride). “Lowenbraut” is a photo drama for the moving pictures and was played in Berlin, Germany. Mme. Destinn says the lion acted just like an angora kitten.
