The Ohio’s double feature bill —"The Bbeik" and the original Brown Saxophone Six—which achieved such an amazing success at the Ohio last week, will be presented for another week beginning Sunday. The Paramount production, under the direction of George Melford, “The Sheik." in which Rudolph Valentino and Agnes Ayres are featured, has not only broken all attendance records of the Ohio, but has set a third week mark— something no other photoplay has ever done at this .house _ Rudolph Valentino is one of the main reasons for the picture’s sensational achievement on the shadowed screen. Critics have declared him to be one ot the most forceful and dramatic personages appearing in the cinemas today, and his performance in "The Sheik” more than Justifies these statements. As for Agnes Ayres—she, too. carries away her share of the portrayal honors. One might term Miss Ayres beautiful, bewitching, fascinating and intoxicating in fact, all of the dictionary’s suitable terms, and then not half do her justice. She is one of the most popular actresses on the screen today, and her popularity has been increased a hundredfold by her work in this film. The Saxophone Stx, because of their drawing power during their first week s engagement, have been held for another week in which to please Ohio patrons with their melodious selectons of muscal entertanment -I- -I- H“QCO VADIS” RETAINED AT ENGLISH’S. “Quo Vadis,” which has been on view
