DE LUXE THEATRE.
In "The Son of the Sheik," now screening to crowded houses at the De Luxe Theatre, Rudolph Valentino is supported by the dainty Hungarian beauty, Vihna Bahky, and Agnes Ayres, who appeared with him in "The Sheik." The present picture is .a sequel to "The Sheik," in which Valentino first made his name as a screen lover, and it carries on the tale in an altogether delightful and interesting manner. The supporting programme, as is generally the case at the De Luxe Theatre, is particularly good, and includes a gazette, in which the arrival of the New Zealand League football team in England plays a prominent part, and a comedy, "The Telephone Girl." There is some delightful music on the programme. The final screening takes place to-morrow evening.
"THE LOVE THIEF."
Some of the largest and most gorgeous sets ever used in a motion picture were constructed for "The Love Thief," which commences its screening at the De Luxe Theatre on Friday night, with a matinee on Saturday at 2.30. The featured players are Norman Kerry, and Greta Nissen, whilst in the cast are such favourites as Marc M'Dermott, Cissy Fitzgerald, and Oscar Beregi. Love and intrigue in the court of a mythical kingdom is the theme, and there is presented the amours and political intrigue of two unfriendly nations. There is rapid action, a sweet love story, and some very clever comedy to relieve the dramatic moments. Through it all suspense is kept at a high pitch by the .intrigues-of grasping foreign, powers, whose, representatives are in the court. Duels, fights, disgrace, escape, and final happiness, occur in rapid succession to the impressive background vi lively court" scenes, beautiful sets, arid attractively uniformed men. Norman Kerry rises to dramatic heights in this picture of greater sincerity than anything he has done previously. A supporting programme of merit will also be screened, while the De-Luxe Orchestra will render appropriate music. The box plans are open at The Bristol, Aitken's Book Arcade, or ring the ■ theatre. '
