AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYSODYS PiCHURES. PRISCILLA DEAN TO-NIGHT. The mystic land of the Nile, where once the incomparable Cleopatra wove her magic spell, is visualized with all its lure and mystery, and a pulsing drama of adventure and love is unfolded with rare artistry in “ A Cafe in Cairo,” Priscilla Dean’s latest picture to be shown at the Princess Theatre to-night. The elusive melodics of native instruments mingle with the silken swish of the diaphanous garment-; of the sinuous dancing in the House of Stars. . . A young American on a. secret diplomatic mission. . . the fascinating Ilouri . . . moonlight and the lure of the desert. This is the setting for this intriguing and fascinating story. It was adapted by Harvey Gates from the novel of Izola Forrester, who wrote “The White Moth,” and gives the screen’s incomparable emotional actress an ideal role. A picture to transport you to mystic Egypt, and thrill you with its strange scenes inside barred harem walls. Here’s a love story you will never forget—vivid, daring, exotic as love can be only in the East. The supports are further-.chapters of the serial and a good comedy.
