AMUSEMENTS.
“ THE SHEIK ’’-TO-NIGHT
Wo have, at an almost incredible oust, secured “ The Sheik ” for showing at this theatre, and we are giving it a presentation worthy of its quite extraordinary merit. The most talked of novel in many years lias, by one ol those coincidences in the art world, been translated to the screen as one of the vivid, colourful, gripping romances of all time. Briefly it is the story ol a stubborn beautiful English madcap who. in spite of the protestations ol her friends, takes a desert ride, unchaperoned. This film is a living thing, bringing the weird beauty of the East before your eyes. Swaying palms, velvet tropic nights, swirling passions horn oi a fierce land, the awful peril of the intruding English bcantv, arc mixed in a veritable riot of emotion and adventure in the strange bizarre home of Arabian colour. We ask you to believe us alien we say that this photoplay is unique in the real sense, and In’s a novel appeal reminiscent of a weird Asiatic perfume. The prices to-night are: Circle 3s 3d. stalls 2s 2d, children Is.
