(0.00 / 0 votes)THE SHEIK:
In this world of
peace and flame
Lies a palm garden
of the Sahara
A blessed oasis
of the sands.
Where the children of Araby dwell
In happy ignorance that Civilization
has passed them by.
Maidens chosen for the marriage market.
Wives are secured for
the wealthy sons of Allah.
Zilah, one of the prizes destined
for the marriage lottery.
Ruth Miller
A tribal chieftain protests the sale
of his sweetheart.
Youseef...George Waggener
The Sheik, Ahmed Ben Hassan,
fallen the heritage of leadership.
Rudolph Valentino
When love is more desired than riches,
it is will of Allah.
Let another be chosen.
On the way to the harems Of
the rich merchants.
To obey and serve like
chattel slaves.
Biskra, the Beautiful.
Gateway to the desert.
A city of adventure. Where the new
civilization Rubs elbows with the old.
Are you going to attend Diana Mayo's
farewell dance this evening?
I am not! I thoroughly disapprove
of this young madcap's wild scheme!
The idea of Diana Mayo planing a
tour alone into the desert,
with only native camel-drivers and Arabs!
The subject of all the gossip,
the orphan daughter
of an English peer,
Her brother, Sir Aubrey,
who for years has vainty striven
to curb Diana's reckless spirit
Diana's guide into the desert,
Mustapha Ali
Charles Brindley
I have a good mind to make
you give up this insane trip.
I've made up my mind,
dear brother.
Evening in the Monte Carlo
of the Sahara
Diana, I love you. Postpone this trip
and give me the right to go with you.
Marriage is captivity -
the end of independence.
I am content with my life as it is.
It is the great Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan.
He is entertaining at the Casino tonight.
Mademioselle will be disappointed-
the Casino is closed to all except Arabs.
And why should a savage desert bandit
keep us out of any public place?
Sheik Ahmed is not a savage.
He is a rish tribal prince,
who was educated in Paris.
In Biskra his slightest wish is law.
Go to the dancer and ask if I may
borrow one of her costumes for the evening.
Like a page from the Arabian Nights.
The marriage gamble Where bridge
are won On the turn of a wheel.
Oh, sons of Allah! Gaze upon
the charms of Halima,
loveliest flower of the desert.
To the cultured English girl this
marriage fair suggests the slave
of the barbarous past.
The pale hands and golden
hair of a white woman.
By whose invitation do
you come here?
I wanted to see the savage who
could bar me from this Casino.
With your permission, the savage
will escort you to the door.
I am to guide into the desert tomorrow.
Dawn- with the Arab under the lure of
Pale hands I love, Beside the Shalimar,
Where are you now?
Who lies beneath your spell?
Into the sand garden
of the sun.
with her brother accompanying
her on the first day's journey
Don't worry, Aubrey, I shall join
you in London in a month - goodbye.
Lie still,
you little fool!
Her exultant dream of freedom ended-
a helpless captive in the desert wastes.
Gaston, the French valet,
in the Sheik's service
since his school days in France.
Lucien Littlefield.
Why have you brought me here?
Are you not woman enough to know?
Do you know how beautiful you are?
I am not accustomed to
having my orders disobeyed.
And I am not accustomed
to obeying orders.
You will learn!
You make a very charming boy,
but it was not a boy
I saw two nights ago in Biskra.
Your luggage has arrived.
