"Thief Of Bagdad"

Offers Thrills

The magic carpet, a flying horse and an awe-inspiring genie appearing over a cloud of smoke. Those are some of the wonders of the "Thief of Bagdad" United Artists' techni- colour film, which has been booked -for-a-short-season-at-the-Orients)-

Theatre, beginning to-day.

This Alm broke all Box Omce records In Singapore and Manda, while in Shanghat it played for 28 days to capaelty houses, short time ugo it was shown at the King's Thea- tre, at roadshow rates. It was not surprising, therefore, that while full- houses were the order of the day then, many thousands of flim fans missed the show.

Now the Oriental are offering the marvel of the Arabian Nights .at slightly higher than their usual rate: Prices for the matinees will be 30c. for the lower floor and 50c, for dress circle, evening prices are 30c. 50c. 70c. $1.20 which includes the tax.

Thief of Ba

of Bagdad is one of the most fantastic and mystifying of screen productions. The scene in which the

ying

horse gradually rises from the ground la reckoned to represent one of the smartest pieces of trick photo- graphy ever to have been achieved in Hollywood, while the meeting DI little Sabu with the monster genie is, to say the least, thrilling to the extreme.

At the extremely low prices for this sensational show the Oriental will no doubt have capacity houses during the run of the picture.

The action is said to have been taken because the entire production is absorbed by home needs.
