The picture part of the programme to-night is a special (Master picture) “’I he Sheik's Wife” sequel to the world famous picture "The Sheik”. It was filmed entirely on the great deserts of Arahia under the direction of Henry Kousscll. author of the story. The leading roles, including Martel Viheit as the Sheik lladjid Ben Khetlim. and Emmy Lynn as the English girl who has married the Sheik, are played by Continental artists, hut thousands of native Arabs were employed in this production. There ate no studio sets- all the scenes, down to the interiors of the tent harems, were made in the desert itself. The home customs of the Araks, their lent titles on the sands, the manoeuvring of their T ilting men, their crude courts of justice, their marriage laws and customs—all are faithfully and truthfully portrayed. The story is one of pulsating, wariu-ldooded Oriental love and at the hack of it all is the hig theme, the question of inter-: avial marriage.
