PARAMOUNT THEATRE. I The glamour of the desert, the fiery passions of the untamed Arabs of the uncharted sands, and a pretty love tale of a missionary's daughter and a sheik's son, are combined in the plot of a splendid scenic achievement in "The Arab," screening at the Paramount Theatre tonight. _ The story tells of the arrival of a missionary and his daughter, who take up their station in the shadow of the mosque, and have already gathered a- number of Moslem children under the influence of the Cross, when there comes to the town the son of a sheik,who is ''the best dragoman in the world." There is a plot to massacre all the Christians, frustrated by the dragoman, who enlists the aid of his tribesmen, and becomes reconciled to his father. Alice Terry, as the missionary's daughter, and Ramon Navarro, as the dragoman, make a pretty pair of lovers, and there is enough excitement in the picture to please the most exacting. Tho comic side is well caffered for, and there ai'e also educational films, and the Paramount Orchestra. "THE GREAT WHITE WAY."
