The only reason we cid not arise

sheer grandeur of the production
Costumes. settings and locations are
the acme of lavishness. 1t is I'M
doubtedly one of the costliest pic
lures ever made-and we'll worth it.!
Given an opportunity to display his
real dramatic ability, Valentino pre-
sents a most vivid and impressive
performance. His magnetic person.
atty, his fire and energy in his love
scenes place him conspicuously in a
rank by himself. The story by Booth
Harrington. from which Forrest Hal
sey made the screen adaptation, is
known to most people but it has
never been so we'll told or so grip
pingly portrayed as in this picture.
An admirably selected supporting
cast interprets the various roles with
amazing success. Featured are
Bebe Daniels. Lois Wilson. Doris
Kenyon. and Lowell Sherman.
The amazing Paramount produc-
ton will be shown for the last times
today at 2.15 and 7.3o.-Adv.
