Is "Burning Sands." a George Melford production of Arthur weigairs successful novel, now show ing at the Rlvoli theatre. This Para-, mount picture has as its central char-: acter Daniel Lane, a student and phil osopher who Uvea among the Arabs and who, by his insight and sympathy. learns to know them as an ordinary man never does, and so finds in thera much to admire. Lane is a splendid . character, sympathetically portrayed by Milton Sills. The other featured part, that of Muriel, was allotted to Miss Hawley. Muriel is the present day type of pleasure loving, materialistic .young woman ; who refers to herself as ."emancipated." but who is really a slave' to her. whims and desires. She is an English girl, the daughter of Lord Blair, his majesty's "chief com missioner to Egypt and the Soudan.1" Muriel, petted and spoiled, accustomed t admirations and .flattery from every t man. meets Lane, and out of the en counter of these contrasting .charac ters grows the drama. Laee does not flatter; he admires, but in silence, be- ;caase while be realises Muriel's great cbarm. he is oenvtneed that it would be a great mistake for him to yield to "it.

"Love Is an Awful Thing." is holding forth at Hamrick's popular playhouse until Friday nixht only. In "Love Is an Awful Thing" It is generally conceded that Owen Moore has been provided with a vehicle which la easllv the best he has ever naa. in just a riotously funny i story, such as one might encounter almost any day in real life.. Its screen telling calls for no absurdities in costume J or action, and its laugh interest is culminatlve from the very first scene to the last. The final denouement is unite a surprise, although wholly within the bounds of reason and logic, but for the most part the developments follow and the Jcnowl edge that one funny Incident is bound to bring another much funnier is the thing that contributes so much to the TBS PICTTKES kAr7 z "W "4r l?J OVt '.ls 7 .'Love is an.
