Theatrical News LLU LLL LL ARARARAR BAND PLAYS AS BIG BATTLE RAGES, The Loves of Pharaoh" Screened on River Spree The river Spree, which any geo- graphy will reveal as not in Egypt, fairly swarmed with Egyptian sol- diers in the summer of 1921, while Ernest Lubitsch was directing his greatest Paramount picture, "The Loves of Pharaoh," Barly in the morning steamers and lighters with thousands of ex- tras on hoard were acquiring the ra- cial characteristics of ancient Egyp- tians and Ethiopians, While the band played merrily these extras landed in the Egyptian city and were greeted by thousands of '"'sa- vage warriors" gathered at the shore, . Ascending through the deep sand under a burning sun, it required little imagination to visualize the hot plains of Africa. From the sum- mit a sand-mountain sloped to a deep valley where the warriors were gathering for the biggest battle ever filmed.

In the valley was the fortified camp of the Egyptians, and on the mountains, the attacking Ethiopians. A wonder spectacle it was as Lubistch maneuvered these thousands of warriors, hither and hither like figures on a chess-board. Suddenly hundreds of wild men stormed over tain in response to the waving of signal flags by Mr. Lubitsch. The Ethiopians swoop down the sand- hills, irresistible, like an avalanche, Eager for combat the meet them, but their heroism vain against this terrible attack. "The l.oves of Pharaoh," which will be shown at the Regent theatre next Monday, Tuesday and Wed- nesday, tells the story of an ancient romance of Pharaoh (Emil Jan- nings).
