SILENT FILM - SON OF THE SHEIK - 1926

  • The Majestic Theatre 3 Factory Street Pomona, QLD, 4568 Australia (map)

Its back ….. Every year we screen this movie. Its the silent movie that Ron West first played at the theatre in 1983 so its special to us. Its been screened hundreds of times at the Majestic and is our most requested film. So we’ve made it an annual event.

In his final film performance before dying in 1926, Rudolph Valentino tackles two roles, as a father and his son. Ahmed (Rudolph Valentino), the son of an Arab Sheik and a kidnapped English gentlewoman (Agnes Ayres), loves local dancing girl Yasmin (Vilma Banky). When he slips out of his father's heavily guarded compound to woo her, he is kidnapped and held for ransom by a group of bandits led by Yasmin's father (George Fawcett) and Ghabah (Montagu Love), the Moor to whom she is betrothed.
