that the orchestra, and the while

As few of t lie Arabs can read,
the title of the film when flashed
on the screen is received in silence,
but as soon as the first picture is
shown there Is a yell. All the
'Arabs in the audience talk at once
and keep up a continuous comment
of what they see. . .
The antics of Europeans in Ihe
comic films, meet with a. hilarious
success unheard cleswhere. In the
Ij-tigte films, the villain is reviled
with loud imprecations, and when
at the .end virtue Is suitably re
