tors, will take the leading .roll as
of the screen's most accomplished actne
thief, in what is said to he away
and above anything ever shown on
the screen. This picture is based on
the story of the ..Arabian Knights.
This beautiful, fanciful story breathes
the spirit if imaginary worlds, where
me usnai is usual, where the impossible
is possible. But it is not altc
v ether fanciful. As Fair banks says
himself. The Thief of Bagdad is the
story of things we dream about; ft
tale of what happiness is when we go
out from ourselves to conquer worlds
of fancy. We set out to win our
hearts' desire; we confuse our enemies;
we dream ourselves bravely;
our sucees is complete; our reward
is happiness.
"I believe that this is the story of
[ everyman's inner self and that every
I man will thus see it.
1 "Thai's the reason I made The
Ihief of Bagdad."
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank our friends and
ask God's blessings upon all who so
kindly let their sympathy in spo many
ways during the sickness and death
of our loving husband and father.
