REEL and SLIDE ''AH Baba and the Forty Thieves'' (A Wm. Fox Literary Production) MM/-. CTED by the famous Fox juvenile cast, the tale of "All Baba and the Forty Thieves" has come to the screen to charm the old and delight the young. This picture offers an excellent example of the literary production, clean and wholesome and certainly entertaining. Who has not read the story of Ali Baba? To see the well-known tale unfold itself on the screen gives it new charm and new interest. The Fox Film Company has spared no pains to make this production worthy of their series of classical productions, which have included several fairy tales. At great expense the costuming, as well as the scenery, used for Ali Baba is technically correct, and the oriental atmosphere has been maintained in a striking manner. Though the story calls for much skill in acting, the Fox youngsters, under competent direction, have achieved wonders.
