JUBILEUSZ 3-LECIA KLUBU SPORTOWEGO VICTORIA W CZĘSTOCHOWIE [Terzo anniversario dell’inaugurazione del Club Sportivo “Victoria” di Częstochowa / The 3rd Anniversary of the Opening of the Victoria Sports Club in Częstochowa] (PL 1925) D: Antoni Krzemiński, Władysław Krzemiński. PC: Kinematograf “Odeon” w Częstochowie. 35 mm, 59 m, 5'52" (18 fps); titles: POL. Source: Filmoteka Narodowa, Warszawa.

"The Victoria Sports Club had been flourishing in Częstochowa since 1922. The film starts with shots of footballers, entrepreneurs, and honourable members of the club, among others. The main events of this third jubilee are sport shows: a “turtle race” on bicycles, and a strongman demonstrating his prowess. The strongman stands on one of his hands, with a 50-pound weight strapped to his leg, while hammering a nail into a plank with his other hand, and finishes with having horses stretching his arms." – Katarzyna Koła-Bielawska.
