a noted "vamp" ... his hair-breadth
escapades among the Arabs of the
Sahara desert keeps the audience In
a constant uproar of hilarious laugh
ter. Supporting Will in thla clever
comedy are Jetta Goudal, Joel Mc
Crea, Dorothy Peterson, Boris Kar
loff and many others of note.

turing Margarte Childers and Madge
DeLasaux, playing two pianos amid
a lavish setting, received tremendous
applause at all performances yesterday.

the Fox Craterian over today and to
