The characters in the cartoon are in the roaring United Artists
picture, "Two Arabian Knights," with William Boyd, supported by
Mary Astor and Louis Wolheim. It is a comedy all about two
American doughboys who escaped from an enemy prison camp dis
guised as Arabs and then got into a multitude of other scrapes
while wooing an Arabian princess. One Yank was a highbrow and
the other a lowbrow, one a private and the other a sergeant, and
both loved the girl. These boys hated and yet were loyal to each
other. "Two Arabian Knights" comes to the Elslnore theater next
Tuesday as the season's big laugh festival.
