FILM FOLLIES
The SON of a SHEIK
All the women fall for this “Sheik stuff” sooner or later.
Neal Burns is the “Son of a Sheik.” Viora Daniel is the girl who adores “those romantic Arabs.”
The Sheik’s little boy following in his father’s footsteps.
CHRISTIE WILL HAVE FUN with “DESERT STUFF”
A1 Christie is going to have his fling at the desert drama along with eighty-four other directors, more or less, who are bound to popularize the camel and the sheik and the waving palm.
Christie determined to produce his “Son of a Sheik” while driving back from Santa Barbara recently and calling on his friend George Medford, who directed “The Sheik” and “Burning Sands.”
A1 saw flocks of camels, stars, sand dunes, arabs and potted palms in profusion all over the countryside. At last reports six or more dramatic companies were headed for Oxnard to produce desert pictures. .
“Here’s where I have some fun with their Sheik stuff,” thought Christie to himself, and hurried home to call Scott Sidney, one of his chief directors, and all the scenario staff into consultation over “The Son of a Sheik.”
Christie recently started something when he went up to Truckee along with several of the dramatic companies and made “Cold Feet,” a travesty on the Northwest Royal Mounted Police films, which one of the leading critics recently commended by saying that the fact that the movies had now learned to kid themselves was definite information that the picture reformation is now at hand.
So the comedy director now has his little fling at the deluge of Arabian dramatic pictures which have followed the tremendous success of “The Sheik.”
“Burning Sands,” says Melford.
“Hot dog,” says Christie, and they’re off.
“The Son of a Sheik” is a travesty that is full of snap and go.
