notable
for its
pathos,
tragedy,

emotion
-- as
"The
Sheik"
was for
dramatic
action.

and
alluring

climaxes,
with all
necessary
descriptive
accomplishments,

of the
mind and
soul of
a
sensitive
man,
haunted
by a sin
almost
unwittingly
committed,
who
missed
happiness
for
years,
but
under
wonderful
Eastern
skies
his real
romance
comes to
fulfillment.
