8096 Code SATER Luck Mastodon
Featuring Johnny Mines, Violet Mersereau and Robert Edeson
As the contestants assemble for the annual cross-country run of the Essex Club, Bob Carter who is "so rich he wears out two pairs of pajamas to one pair of shoes," watches them with indifference until Crosby, an acquaintance, calls him a quitter and dares him to enter the race. Bob takes the dare, but is soon hopelessly outdistanced. Just then he sees an elephant which had escaped from a circus, approaching him, and under the spur of his fear he quickly passes the entire field and wins the trophy. Crosby calls Rob's victory just luck and offers to bet that he could not earn his own living, whereupon Bob bets he can earn $10,000.00 in one year without the help of his fortune.
From that moment his adventures begin in earnest and the spectator is in a state of continuous laughter as one amusing situation follows another. Bob gets an option on some land, starts to build a city, falls in love with the judge's daughter, wins her away from a rival suitor, rescues her from a mine, organizes a land company, and just as his year expires, sells enough stock to raise the $10,000.00. needed to pay his first year's salary as president.
Talk about luck! Wins in business, wins the girl and wins his bet.
You'll like this picture. It is clean, lively, amusing, and cleverly titled, has a noted cast and is satisfactory in every way. Recommended for any audience.

8097 Code SATIR One Arabian Night First National
Featuring Pola Negri and Ernst Lubitsch
Here is the romance of Zuleika, favorite wife of a great Sheik, beloved by the Sheik's son and herself loving a young rug merchant, whom she has seen from one of the palace windows. The young Sheik's pursuit of Zuleika leads his father to order her execution, but at the critical moment the young man wins her reprieve by confessing that it is he and not Zuleika, who is to blame.
About this time a band of strolling entertainers arrive in the city. A beautiful dancer, a hunchback clown in love with her, and an old hag make up the company. The old Sheik sees the girl dancing and adds her to his Harem, where she is made his favorite wife, succeeding Zuleika. The latter, thus relieved of her obligations to her master, connives with her confidant Haidee, to visit the young rug merchant at his shop. By a strange chain of circumstances both the hunchback and the rug merchant are smuggled into the harem and the young Sheik also manages to enter.
From his concealment, the hunchback sees the dancer and the young Sheik. The old Sheik enters and attempts to kill his son, but the girl steps in front of him and receives the fatal sword thrust. The young Sheik flees, but is overtaken and killed by his father. The Sheik then surprises Zuleika and her lover in the Harem, surrounded by the women of the palace. The women try to thwart the Sheik, but he advances to slay the erring pair. As he raises his sword, the hunchback leaps upon him and stabs him in the back. The Sheik expires and Zuleika and her lover escape from the palace.
