WIL .M'ETTE ~ .IFE Teatro del· <·---·-----·-a-·t -·1 Reviews 'I At ., "Two Arabian Knights" at Community House Tuesday "Two Arabian Knights," with William Boyd, Mary Astor, and Louis W olheim, will be at the Communit:r House next Tuesday, January 29. The picture concerns the adventures of Private W. Daingerfield Phelps and Sergeant Peter McGaffney following their escape from a prison camp to Arabia. In no sense derived from Omar Khayyam's tales, the title 1S explained by the fact that the American buck private and top sergeant are kn:ghted by an Emir in Arabia for no good reason. The private is less concerned with a knighthood than with the Emir's daughter, Annis Bin Adham, who is really Mary Astor. It is said that "Two Arabian Knights" employs divers avenues of laughter, ranging from the hysteria-arousing sequences of the doughboys' escape through electrified barb wire surrounding a prison camp, to the !ij)ectacle of Louis Wolheim in his red flannels. Next Friday's attraction at the Community House will be Buster Keaton in · "The Cameraman." Mr: Keaton plays an apprentice news reel cameraman in a hilarious series of adventures and misadventures in New York. He gets mixed up in a tong war staged with machine guns and five hundred Oriental . actors, and has a love affair with Marceline Day that is punctured by being almost drowned in a boat race accident, he invades Mayor Jimmy . Walker's throne room in New York city, and has other experiences of a similar nature.

Chaney, Lionel Barrymore, Warner Baxter, and Mary Nolan, is to be the N orshore attraction for the coming week. Chaney plays the part of Flint, a cheap headliner in a vaudeville theater in London's Iimehouse district. His wife who assists him in his act, falls in love with an ivory trader from Africa with whom she plans to elope. Flint ~eets the blackguard in a dressing room, · and in a fight that follows is hurled over the banisters to the stage beneath. He sustains permanent paralysis of his lower limbs. Flint's wife dies after returning to London and leaving a baby that Flint believes to be that of Crane, the trader. He takes the child to Africa, where she is left in care of the mistress of a Zanzibar dive. Later when the baby has grown to be a beautiful girl he has her brought to the interior, where he lives with three villainous henchmen and a renegade physician. He succeeds in debauching the girl, and then presents her to Crane, as that gentleman's daughter. But the tragedy of the situation is that she turns out to be Flint's own daughter. Although the story and many of the scenes are hideous, the photography, acting, and direction of the film are good. 11 A Rushin' Revue" is the title of the Norshore stage show beginning this Saturday. AI Kvale and the Jazz Collegians will brighten the program with a stage entertainment advertised as a "modernized 'Chauve-Soris' production, changed to jazz and syncopation tempo." --- ,_.._ ___,_ ____ January . 25, 1929 ,.
