'SHE'S A SHEIK'

COMING REGENT ATTRACTION. Vivacious Bebe Daniels avid the popular hero, Richard Dix, will both appear on the one bill at the Regent Thoatro on Friday next in one of the biggest double-feature programmes yet presented. Alias Daniels’s latest production is ‘ She’s a Shiek,’ an hilarious coined, y-draraa with a Foreign Legion setting. As Zaida, bewitching granddaughter of Sheik Yu.sifF Ren Hamad, the star is given a chance to indulge in all the action ami laugh situations that Director Clarence Badger could devise. Sho fights a duel with the man she hates, kidnaps the man she loves, tries to tame him, and change his hate into love, saves the Foreign Legion troops when they are surrounded by Arabs, prevents a shooting squad from killing her fiance, and performs a hundred other feats. In ‘Shanghai Round’ Richard Dix has unquestionably the finest role ot his career. The story, that of a secret service oncer’s adventures on the Yang-tse, is the first to be based on the tempestuous Chinese revolution, and it holds the interest of the audience from beginning to end Mary Brian, of ‘Peter Pan ■fame, supports the star. A npw musical programme will be played by the Regent Operatic Orchestra, under the baton of Air Maurice Guttridge.
