PASSED BY THE NATONAL BOARD OF REVIEW


01:02

AGNES AYRES has courteously consented to resume her original role of Diana, wife of the Sheik—as a favor to Mr. Valentino and this picture.


01:14

Not East of Suez—but South of Algiers.


01:31

A camp of outcasts in the desert night.


01:49

André, renegade Frenchman, leader of a vagrant troupe—entertainers by profession, thieves by preference.


01:59

Ghabah, The Moor, whose crimes outnumber the sands.


02:25

"I'll send your remains home. What's your wife's name?"


02:32

"I don't know her name. When I want her, I whistle."


03:17

Yasmin, daughter of André, whose dancing feet support the troupe.—


03:32

A few days ago—in the market-place of Touggourt blossomed Yasmin's first romance.


04:46

"I am tired—yet I must dance. He is my father—and we are very poor."


05:12

"Your gold, my lord, could not buy me even a day's rest. They'd gamble it away in an hour."


05:35

"Then wear this ring—for friendship—till we meet again."


05:49

"If my lords even returns, he might find me in the old ruins. I love to wander ther in the moonlight—alone."


07:28

Then, in brief, stolen meetings, romance deepened into love—and tonight—


08:00

"Twenty leagues every night for a dancing girl! Allah give us strengh."


08:51

"Wait here for me!"


08:57

"Master, it is not safe to journey alone!"


09:03

"Ramadan, do I give orders—or do you?"


09:28

"If his father, the Sheik, knew of this—!"


09:34

"Allah curse all dancing-girls. Their hips full of abandon, make young men full of nonsense!"


10:57

"Yasmin, my love, were you afraid I would fail you?"


11:16

"Why fear me, dearest? Love such as mine can do no harm"


11:47

"But who are you, my Lord? I do not even know your name!"


12:03

"I am he who love you—is that not name enough?"


12:43

"Remember, I want him captured—not killed!"


15:41

"My young Lion. Your people would gladly pay ten thousand francs to look at your handsome face again."


15:55

"Your father's name—or must we loosen your tongue?"


16:08

"What have you done with Yasmin?"


16:17

"You fool—to believe she loved you! She was our bait to lure you on, as she has lured many another."


18:03

"Your young gallant is lashed to a grating in the old ruins. Tomorrow—its ransom or—torture!"


18:32

"Long ago, you promised her to me and I'm tired of waiting."


21:01

"What are you doing there, Son of an Owl?"


21:07

"Nay, my mother was no owl—only a little cuckoo!"


21:37

At a friend's home in Touggourt, Ahmed's bodily wounds healed fast.


22:03

"Like all youths, he loved a dancing girl. Like all dancing girls, she tricked him."


22:19

CE SOIR AU
CAFÉ MAURE


24:51

BAZAR ARABE


25:03

"I'll take my own revenge!"


25:40

The night was young at the Cafe Maure. Not a knife had been thrown—so far.


30:12

"Did we catch him?"


32:09

"So, my young charmer, your mission in life is to lure men into lonely ruins—to be robbed and tortured!"


32:43

"I may not be the first victim—but, by Allah, I shall be the one you'll remember!"


33:22

"An eye for an eye—a hate for a hate—that is the law of my father!"


34:10

"I hate you! I hate you!"


35:03

"Your gang will not collect from me this time. For once your kisses are free!"


35:37

The desert villa of Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan—young Ahmed's famous father.


35:57

Diana, wife of the Sheik.


36:02

So, you see, I shall be
with you very soon. I hope
the desert is as romantic as
it has been pictured. I am
mad to see it.
Until I arrive,
Your affectionate cousin
Clara.


36:42

The Sheik—English born, Sahara bred—undisputed ruler in this sea of sand.


36:50

"What news of my son? Has he returned to his camp yet?"


37:42

"She will be to Ahmed what you have been to me, my dear."


38:20

"That young rascal has been gone a week—against my strict orders."


38:37

"Your son is back at his camp. One of his servants is here, as you commanded."


38:52

"Where has my son been for the past week?"


39:15

"He'll discover that I am master here. Allah help him when I'm done with him!"


39:29

"Remember, Ahmed is only a boy—"


40:48

"I hate you! I will hate you with my dying breath!"


41:03

"That is the first truthful thing you've said."


41:14

"And you'll have more reason to hate me before I've finished with you!"


43:02

"I gave you strict orders not to leave. Why did you disobey?"


43:10

"I had reasons of my own."


43:31

"A woman!"


43:52

"Out of here, first born of a mule!"


43:59

"You can't blame 'that' on a parrot!"


44:27

"Father, its not the sort of affair you think—and no one in the world can interfere."


44:38

"You dare to bring a woman to the camp when I have selected a bride for you?"


44:50

"I am sorry, but when the time comes, I'll select my own bride."


45:01

"Like father, like son. My future is my own."


45:16

"Ahmed, I'll bend you to my will—as I bend this iron."


46:02

"It is for hate—not love—that I brought this girl here. I sought vengeance as you would have done—"


46:31

"No matter what she has done, Ahmed, you must free her at once."


46:48

"Send her away—and come home."


48:30

"Women—bah! Heed them not—for today's peach is tomorrow's prune!"


48:53

"All the beauties of the Arabian Nights—passing unveiled—couldn't get a look from me!"


49:33

"Allah!… Help me to tear him from my heart! Help me to hate him!"


49:55

"Escort her back to Touggourt."


50:04

"This is for her needs."


50:22

"Young master bids you go. You shall be suitably mounted—on a donkey."


53:25

"Yasmin, no other man shall have you. Why waste your life in futile love—that I destroy so easily?"


53:44

"It was I who poisoned the mind of young Ahmed against you—saying you betrayed him to us—"


54:14

"Lets start back to Touggourt."


54:36

"When you escape—tell Ahmed the truth—and say that I am trying to forget."


56:32

"Master, the girl did not betray you—"


57:51

"I told you I'd curb him to my will."


58:04

"Not with force, my dear. Ahmed is too much like you to be curbed or driven."


58:24

"Remember your own fiery youth, dearest—what you wanted, you took—"


58:47

"Lie still, you little fool!"


59:09

"Master—your son—he has gone after the girl—back to that thieves den in Touggourt!"


59:24

"Master—please—his life is in danger—"


1:00:32

"Master, it is madness to enter there alone!"


1:01:20

"Quick! Send Yasmin to dance! A rich stranger! I smell money!"


1:03:16

"Yasmin, Yasmin, my beloved. Can you ever forgive—?"


1:03:28

"I tried to hate you, beloved, but—my heart has always been yours!"


1:03:57

"Ahmed, my beloved, you must go! Quick—please—I fear for your life."


1:06:45

"Father—the girl—I love her—!"
