NFSA ID

Year
1914
A bi-fold pamphlet advertising Australian screenings of Neptune's Daughter (1914).
Billed as 'The Greatest Picture of the Century', the leaflet proclaims a $200,000 budget and boasts of 1,000 people featuring in the production.
The text reads in part, 'In this delightful romance of the sea, Miss Kellerman, aside from her marvellous aquatic feats, which she has many opportunities to display, proves that she is a powerful actress, a fascinating dancer, an expert swordswoman, and a mistress of a thousand arts'.
