The story is one of a ter- rible revenge, laid in the primitive wastes of a vast and. torrid African desert, in which Gilbert is a domin- ating figure, first as a prisoner and then as a savior of the girl and her bogus father who are responsible for his and their plight. The dar- ing gem robbery is one of the most sensational thrills of the produc- tion which is all pitched in a high- ly dramatic key. The grimness of a dirty diamond mine, manned by hundreds of dark- gkinned natives, and the dazzling whiteness of miles of countless sand dunes form a spectacular and biz- arre background for a revenge which is satiated only by the in tense suffering of those about to die for the want of water. Baked by the ever shining sun and torn with a mad craving for a liquid to atienéh her thirst, a beautiful grt offeys her soul for just a few drops of water.

Audrey Ferris, Doris Dawson, James Murray, George Fawcett, Robert Edeson and . Hallam Cooley appear in important roles. Miss Ferris and Miss Dawson are cast as sisters 'whose flirtatious inclinations give rise to many de- lightful situations. Murray ap- pears-as a young flier who with ambitions to establish an airport, bumps into the irascible Judge Holt, who is fiercely antagonistic to anything modern. Fawcett, in quite as fiery a way, guards Aud- rey and Doris his granddaughters. Fawcett's influential opposition to flying causes Murray to launch a plan to steal the old man's sup- port by capturing the heart of one of his wards. The progress or the scheme introduces much hilarity. Fawcett and HEdeson likewise cap- ture a lion's share of comedy hon- ors by their constant haggling over an argument a half-century old. Cooly's performamnce is also excellent as . a somewhat phlegmatic Romemo forever at the beck and call of. the two Juliets. "The Little Wildcat" sparkles with humor of the most spontan- eous character, while its cast is particularly well chosen and tal- ented credit is also due to Ray En- right, the director, and E, T. Lowe, Jr., who wrote the' scenario, bas- ing it on an original story by Gene Wright. ¢hicago thugs burned down a movie theatre.

John Gilbert To Seen in "Desert Nights" ONLY ONE WOMAN STAR IN NEW FILM For the first time in his entire motion picture career, John Gll- bert appears in a picture in which there is but one woman, It is in his latest Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer starring feature, "Desert Nights," a synchronized film, which will be at the Regent Theatre Monday. Although there are several hun- dred people seen at various times throughout the picture, close ob- servance will disclose . that Mary Nolan, who appears in the femin- ine lead, is the only member of nor sex seen. There are literally hun- dreds of men at work in the dia- mond mines in the opening se- quence, and several squads of sol- diers, but for all this motley crowd not one other woman appears. The stirring drama is based on the sensational and daring robbery of a South African diamond mine and the ultimate experiences of the renegades and their prisoner when they attempt to cross the desert with their loot. It is thrilling apd soul touching with a most unusual romantic plot cleverly interwoven with the main themes of greed and revenge which permeate the entire picture. Ernest Torrence {is seen in a prominent supporting role, that of a master crook. The picture was directed by William Nigh from an original story by John Thomas Ne- ville and Dale Dan Every, Your Sentiment give her Genuine Orange Blossom Rings---made by Traub and featured by this store.
