"The Flame of the Deeert," in which Geraldine Farrar takes the leading part, is to be shown, for the first time at Shontt's Theatre tomorrow. In thia ,61m there is said to be a harmonious blending of acting of the highest order, with a motion picture, thorough in its wealth of detail and its beautiful reproduction of scenes of sensuous charm, marks a standard of excellence hitherto unsurpassed. Geraldine Farrar possesses an unassailable position as an actress. Included in the cast is Lou Tellegen, who acts the part of the desert sheik. The story is an admirably constructed one, and none of its varied and sensational incidents oversteps tile bounds of the probable. x
