THE THEATRE
Genesta Theatre


Fanina the dancing-girl, known as
"the pearl of paradise" of the Ali
Baba Cafe in Mzab, was a voluptuous
Houri-and fascinating-as she wig
gled her 1.-THE and sinuous body in
rhythmic sway to the tintinnabulations
of the oriental music in the "Ali
Baba Shimmy-Shiver," in the H. b.
Warner production, "The Man Who
Turned White"
Wine bibbers of the Soudan, roues
who were at home in every doubtful
cafe from Paris to Bagdad fell under
her magic spell.
Fanina didn't wear much in the
way Of costume. In fact, a gorgeous
necklace, long ear-pennets and shin
ing breast shields, were the sum and
substance of her wardrobe. But how
Fanina could wiggle! Every muscle
twitched and rippled over her body
in synchrony with the throbbing
pulse of the wild oriental "Can-Can."
Was Fanina wanton? BY no
means. Her heart belonged only to
one-Captain Rand, the dashing Of
ficer of the foreign legion-and for
him she would die, if necessary. And
if some other Houri became too
familiar with the Captain, she, too,
would die, and the Captain also, for
Fanna loved in a fierce and primitive
way.
1.-THE Man Who Turned White"
the first in a series of Superior Pic
lures starring II. B. Warner, the
famous English actor, and distributed
by Exhibitors Mutual, is tense and
colorful drama of the great Sahara
desert, replete with oriental glamour
and thrilling episodes. To be pre-
sented at the Genesta Theatre Sun
