as shown by the rings. Neighbors believe that Benesch
“knows his onions.”

ONE SHOW ONLY AT 8 O’CLOCK
AGAIN WE HAVE A GREAT HIT IN
TWO ARABIAN KNIGHTS
(A 9-reel feature)
The wonderful tale of comical adventure as two American
soldiers escape from a prison camp and make their way
south to Greece—thence by tramp-ship to Arabia, where
an Arab girl gets them into more trouble. After many
side-splitting incidents they fight their way out of the Arab
palace and get to the Consul.
NOT A WAR PICTURE
but a hilarious string of adventures of two soldiers who
were always fighting one another until a third enemy
showed up.
COMEDY DRAMA
of the best kind, that will keep you laughing all the time.
Said to be the equal of “What Price Glory” and “Rookies.”
THE TWO KNIGHTS ARE
WILLIAM BOYD
' AND LOUIS WOLHEIM
SUPPORTED BY MARY ASTOR AND A BRLLIANT CAST
This picture runs the limit of situations—from German
soldiers and police dogs to Arab Harems—land and sea—
shell holes to Turkish beds. Not a dull or slow moment.
With it we will show an interesting Pathe ReView.
CLEAN AND COURTEOUS
"M
Spotless cleanliness is insured; every caution is
exercised not to harm delicate textiles, and
prompt service will ever be our endeavor.
