' Some of the outstanding features of this highly romantic story, out of the “Arabian Nights,” are: The Magic Carpet, by the use of which Ke Thief and the Princess fly over e housetops and away into the land of Romance; the Winged Horse, mounted on which the Thief rides up and through the clouds; the Cloak of Invisibility which, with weird effect, shields the Thief from human sight; the Flight of a Thousand. Steps leading to the citadel of the moon; the Spider many times larger than a man; the Living Dragon of gigantic size; the Cavern of Enchanted Trees; the Crystal Realm far beneath the floor of the sea; the Valley of Fire; the Mountain of Dread Adventure; the Sea of Midnight, and scores of other features that render this glorious fantasy of ancient Bagdad the most enthralling spectacle ever brought to the screen. The more important members of the cast are Julianne Johnston, formerly a member of the famous Morgan dancers, who impersonates the Princess; So-Jin Kamayama, imported from Japan, is the Mongol prince; Anna May Wong Is the Mongol slave; Snitz Edwards is the Thief’s evil asßociate, and Brandon Hurst is the Caliph. "The Thief of Bagdad” will be shown at the usual Circle prices.
"GREED” OPENS SUNDAY AT THE APOLLO THEATER When Frank Morris Wrote “MeTeague” it was hailed as one of the most graphic novels in the history American fiction. For quite a pe■od of time motion picture producers hid—and bid high—for the picture rights. When they were procured, the task of bringing the story to the screen was entrusted to Eric von Stroheim, past master of the art of instilling realism in drama. Von Stroheim labored diligently for two years, spent a vast fortune and, at last, the production finished, called it. “Greed.” It will be the attraction at the Apollo next week. The chief characters of the story are McTeague, a great hulk of a man engaged in the practice of dentistry in San Francisco, and his wife, Trina, a shrewish, thrifty woman. Hoarding is Trina’s obsession. When evil days fall upon the pair she refuses to touch their “savings.” McTeague loses his business and tries to make a living as a laborer. He and his wife drift to squalid living quarters, and the hoarding of money goes on even more intensively. Finally McTeague, crazed from deprivation, kills Titna and escapes with the gold into Death Valley. Therein the terriflo heat of the desert wastes the story is brought to an end in a g*eat climax that will live forever in the mind of every spectator. Heading the cast are Gibson Gowland. ZaSu Pitts, Jean Hersholt, Sylvia Ashton, Dale Fuller and Chester Conklin. Other program features will be a Sunshine comedy entitled “Movie Maid,” the Fox news weekly, musical entertainment by Emil Bleidel and his orchestra and organ by Earl Gordon. •!- -I- -IWESTERN MELODRAMA BOOKED AT ISIS "Flying Hoofs,” a melodrama, to b-' shown at the Isis the first half AMUSEMENTS
