SPLENDID SETTINGS
 FOR PLAY, THE SHETK'

One of the most impressive fea- lures of "The Sheik," George Mel lords latest production for Para mount, which comes to the Ideal thea Ire Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, are the many magnificent and spec tacular settings in which the various scenes are enacted. These include:
 A remarkable conception of pub lie section of the ancient city of Car thage under Roman rule; a birdseye shot of the city of Biskra, the Monte Carlo of the Algerian Sahara. taken from a minaret with an Arab pray Ing Tn the foreground; fifteen actual shots about the city of Biskra, es- peclally made for the picture by a representative from Paramounts s London studio; a picturesque African oasis, especially constructed on a desert site near Hollywood; a com plete Arabian village-the strong hold of the bandit chieftain, Omair; and beautiful, exotic interiors, such as the interior of the sheik's tent, and the desert palace of Omair.
 In the Carthage episode, which is a vision in the picture, very un- usual effect is presented. Agnes Ayres, playing the principal feminine role, is shown as the naughty queen who rules the city under Roman dom ination. When the scene first opens, it shows the proud English girl, later to be captured by the sheik, encamped at night among the ruins of Roman splendor in the ancient city. There are broken pillars and crumbling ruins.
 Then the girl becomes a Cartha- ginian queen, the architecture is re- stored and scenes of splendor, peopled with the royal court, flower girls. harp girls, slaves, centurions and Ro- man soldiers follow This vision es- tablishes the naughty, dominant char acter of the girl, who insists upon taking journey into the desert, de spite her brothers objections.
 The role of the sheik is played bz
