"When an Arab sees a woman he wants he takes her"
THAT was the meaning of love in the desert until The Sheik met the English girl.
That is the heart of the plot of "The Sheik," which in book form is the year's sensation on both sides of the Atlantic and which as a Paramount Picture finds and thrills a multi -million audience.
Don't miss the thrill of seeing the proud mad cap English girl snatched from the sand by the hard-riding Sheik of a hundred tribes.
You will be amazed at her life within the tented lu:tury of the Sahara.
You will see love making by the handsome Rudolph Valentino as The Sheik which is in the full torrent of Oriental tradition.
How shall the lovely and aristocratic Agnes Ayres, as the English girl, escape famous piayers
with life and honor?
— Ancient Proverb of Atabia.
That is the plot of it, the shiver of it — the odds are so great — that is the drama you see against a background of infinite desert,
— of a thousand wild Bedouin horsemen with long rifles and flowing robes, — of the bride-market at Biskra where the slave-brides are sold,
— and of desert fighting between Sheik and Bandit, and between their troops, of a ferocity only equalled by tigers.
Does love emerge supreme and glorious at the climax? Is a pure spot found in the heart of the bronzed Sheik?
The answer to that will make you draw the deepest breath of all,
— and recognize that once more Paramount has given you the best show in town or state.
Ask your theatre when it 's coming.
