Salambo
Domenico Gaido
Suzanne De Labroy, Mario Guaita-Ausonia
One of the most famous of the early Italian epics which brought about the change from short subjects to feature films in America. Massive crowd scenes, spectacular sets that rival the sets from Intolerance and an interesting story all add up to fine entertainment from the cinema's early beginnings.

Elsa Zara, Mario Guaita-Ausonia
In a plot similar to, but predating, the later Superman stories, a young girl, Jenny, is involved in several dangerous adventures as a result of her possession of a valuable jewel. Each time she is saved by her normally shy, unassuming boyfriend, Audreses, who comes to her rescue disguised as a bare-chested wrestler wearing a mask.

Mario Guaita-Ausonia, Elsa Zara
La cintura delle Amazzoni (presumed a lost film but actually in perfect health, preserved by the Narodní filmový archív), promises fun, elegance and erotic innuendos. The story concerns a circus of attractions that comes to town. The owner of the local country club is keen on aquiring the circus owner's fine white mares - however to make that happen he must court Cleopatra, his daughter - when he is actually in love with the beautiful niece instead. All the while, a group of no-nonsense/no-men Amazons arrive in town promissing to beat the local athletes to a sports' match on the arena.
