The Garden of Allah

The Liebler company's production
of Robert Hichens' and Mary Ander-
sons THE Garden of Allah" which
will be the attraction at the Grand
Friday night only. Is conceded to be
the most spectacular and massive
production of a drama the stage has
ever had.
The story in brief Is: Domini En-
f1lden goes to Africa to seek peace
from a previous life of sorrows and
disappointments. Coming to Benz
Mora. on the edge Of the great
Sahara desert, she is enthralled by
its peaceful solitude. While there
she meets Boris, a renegade monk,
whom she knows only as a traveller.
For nineteen years Boris, as
full life in the Trappist monastery Of
El Largani. Then comes his awaken
ing of strong worldly desires, which
seize upon the young man and cause
him to escape to the outside world.
Haunted by remorse, he comes to
Beni-Mora. and there he meets DOM
mi. who is a devout Catholic. They
marry and go out into the desert,
where, under the spur Of conscience
and the fear Of disclosure Boris con-
fesses his sin. Domini, Mortified, per-
suades him to return to the monas-
terry and give her up forever.
AS a scenic production the per
Torrance is a series of realistic pic
lures of life on the desert. There
are wonderful views Of the Sahara
shimmering in the white heat of
MONDAY, glowing red and pink under
wonderful sunsets, or pale and SIMS
ter under the weird spell of tropical
nights. And there is the street scene
and. tho dance hall scene in Benz
Mora, both wild and Intoxicating.
Tropical beauty in the nine scenes
vie with one another. each surpass-
ing the other in OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
