Romantic love appeal and political intrigue form the basis of this re- markable story. The Egyptian desert peoples invoke the curse of Allah against - foreign infidels and plot to overthrow British rule in Egypt. An uprising of this sort, however, has been suspected, and for years Sheik Essad (Lou Tellegen), has lived ly ] among the people of the Sahara and learned of their plans. In London at' the Victory ball, he meets Lady Isabella Channing (Geraldine Far- rar). - A great love theme is at once developed arrd when romance, ls car- ried to Cairo, Lady Isabella is tor- mented by the dictates of her heart and her pride of race. As the plot unfolds, the keenest faculties of Sheik Essad are called into play in defend- ing his ‘government; and even.before his real identity is learned, the woman he loves is called upon to prove the real depths of her feeling for him, regardless of caste. Among the players in the splendid supporting cast ‘of “Flame of the Desert” are Edythe Chapman, Alec Francis, Macey Harlam, Casson Fer- guson and others. you’d do him a great favor if you would insult him good and proper.

Rosalmd’ heart belonged to the gypsies so much that the call of the wild was forever in her veins. There was a strong and natural reason for this, which furnishes the theme for one ef the miost interest- ing human psychology studies ever offered. Did Rosalind saccumb to the call of the wild? Was the fiery blood of Romany that comrsed ' through her veins of an all-consuming nature? Did her natural impulses, too, revert to the life of her forefathers over- balance her judgment? - All" thébe questions are loglcally Published Every Tlmrsdiy——'——By the Harding-Whaley Co., Bemidji, Minn. .

Haven't forgotten the rare, wist. ful charm of the star. Nor the exciting, swift, surprising action of the story. Nor the excellent’ direction and production? “The Cinema Murder” was a Cos- mopolitan Production, the second of that brand to be released as Para< mount Artcraft pictures, So it will be good news to you to learn that we are showing another Cosmopolitan picture next Sunday and Monday. This is “April Folly,” and Marion Davies is again the star. It is taken from the novel by Cynthia Stockley, which you probably have read. The plot combines a mystery and love story. It centers around April Pool, played my Miss Davies, who ex- changes places with Lady Diana Man- nister when the latter is sent to South Africa by her father with a valuable diamond to deliver to an aunt. - At sea she has several exciting adven- turous encounters with a private de- tective and a pair of international thieves who are training her. April foils the criminals in the end by a clever ruse and wins happiness with her young protector, Karry Sarle. Conway Tearle is attractive as lfiss Davies’ leading man. Al St. John, the famous acrobat in Mack Sennet comedies also appears in his first independent comedy, “Speed” (described elsewhere) at the Elko Sunday and Monday. The Elko orchestra will play Sunday evening. ;| !
