This wonderful film cost £100,000 to make, employed 45,000 people and required a year to complete. When shown in London it was acclaimed on all sides as the greatest picture of the kind ever produced.

See the volcano belching forth its lava and red-hot stones, buildings and pillars crashing down, people stampeding in panic-see one of the greatest cataclysms of nature depiet- ed with a breathless realism that will keep you leaning forward in your seat!
