(NOTE: the film was eventually titled A Woman's Triumph.  In 1914, the same year as this postcard, the British company Hepworth produced a film from this story, so the Paramount film may have been retitled, plus "A Woman's Triumph" would have sold better in the U.S.A.)

Malcolm Williams, one of the greatest character delineators of the American stage, makes his initial appearance in motion pictures in "The Brute," the famous drama of a strong man's triumph over a woman's pride, by Frederic Arnold Kummer. "The Brute" is an intense, vital drama of today and all the time. It is a powerful portrayal of the world-old conflict of the sexes. Presented with a notable cast and the care for detail characteristic of the Famous Players Film Company, the production will make a lasting impression.

(Note: The Brute and A Woman's Triumph ("The Heart of Midlothian") are not the same film.  Either this was a printing mistake, or the postcards for these two films were meant to cross-plug the other film. The reverse sides of other Famous Players postcards usually describe the film portrayed on the front of the postcard.

"The Heart of Midlothian," Sir Walter Scott's greatest story, will go down through the ages as one of the most inspiring tales ever written or conceived. Faithfully visualized in motion pictures, the numerous dramatic episodes and trenchant incidents assume a power far surpassing that of the printed page. Enacted by the Famous Players Stock Company, "The Heart of Midlothian," the story of a woman who would not tell a lie even to save her sister's life, will be received as one of the master photo-dramas of the age.
