Davis Theatre

Flame of the Desert" the latest Goldwyn picture starring Geraldine
 Farrar and Lou Tellegen, will be seen
 at the Davis theatre Wednesday and
 Thursday. Romantic love appeal and political intrigue form the basis of this
 remarkable story. The Egyptian dss-
 ert peoples invoke the curse of Allah
 against foreign iTfidels and plot to oy-
 erthrow British rule in Egypt. An up- rising of this sort, however, has been
 suspected and for years Sheik Esssd Q1ou TelleSen) in reality a British
 army officer has lived among the people of the Sahara and learned of their plans. In London at the Victory Ball
 he meets Lady Isabella Charming Ger
 aldine Farrar). A great love theme Is at once developed and when romance is carried to Cairo, Lady Isabella is tor mented by the dictates of her heart and her pride of race. As the plot un- folds the keenest faculties of Sheik Ee- sad, the supposed Egyptian, are called into play in defending his government and even before his real idetity is learned, the woman he loves is called
 upon to prove the real depths of her The other feature is Frank Keenan in feeling for him, regardless of caste. Dollar for Dollar, part melodrama, and one of the best pictures Mfr. Keen an has ever appeared in.
 The theme of Dollar for Dollar, is
 based on reprisal. What is the pay
 nent of 'an eye for an eye and q tooth for a tooth ?"' Can one stolen
 dollar have the same value as another dishonest dollar? Is there sweetness in revenge? Is there happiness or peace of mind?
