The Sheik / The Son of the Sheik

Leading off this double feature is "The Sheik," the silent costume drama that permanently fixed Rudolph Valentino's screen persona in the Hollywood pantheon.

Then, Valentino's last film was the sequel "The Son of the Sheik," where he plays the son of the famed desert warrior, out to exact vengeance on the bandits who wronged a dancing girl. With Vilma Banky.
