“A GOOD THRASHING,” FOR LEADING WOMAN IN ARABIAN PICTURE
An unusual film, the English picture “Stampede,” which was taken under difficult conditions in Africa by Mr. and Mrs. Court Treatt, is shortly to be shown In London. * It is a romance of real Arab life, taken in the appropriate setting. The part of the Sheik in Ihe story is taken by the Sheik Achmed Fadel, and the heroine is an Arab girl of 17, who has since married, not the young man who appears as the hero, but the head of the tribe to which she belongs. The actors entered thoroughly into the spirit of the picture. The leading woman was threatened by her supreme chief with a good thrashing w'hen she proved temperamental. In one scene a mirage is shown on the screen, this being the first time a real mirage has been filmed.
