WT'HE sHEIK's WIFE which

Sunday April 1s is a pulsating
story Of -blooded Oriental
love. The story is told with
artistic feeling. There is no W.

word. The psychology OF the
Sheik who loves his wife with an
ancient fierceness and tries to
dominate her In true Oriental
fashion, is sympathetically set
forth. The character Of the
romantic and high spirited. girl is
also skillfuily etched.
Many OF the scenes are
spectacular in the extreme. There
are interesting scenes in the
luxurious interiors of the tent
harems, views showing the Arab
administration OF Justice, and the
heroine's rendezvous amid the
ruins OF an ancient temple.
