Summary

Pathe synopsis: Down in this forest at Ascot, Berkshire, something stirs with a vengeance - the something being elephants out for exercise from a local circus training quarters. Also out for a stroll is Begum, a two-year-old tigress (restrained, you will be glad to know) by a stout lead. Try telling your friends you saw elephants and tigers gambolling in the woods near Ascot!
