The next scene shows the director, Mr. Sid Olcott, reading the script to the assembled company. Later the director, with his interpreter, Aineen, arrives at a point ten miles from Luxor, where they meet the Sheik of a tribe of Arabs, .and secure locations and assistance. In the meantime, the individual members of the company are visiting the different shops in Luxor in an endeavor to secure appropriate costumes. The next morning the entire company is on its way. They arrive at an Arab village on the desert and get busy "making up" for their various parts. Miss Gauntier is seen working industriously to master the art of balancing a jug of water on her head, in accordance with the custom of the Arab women. The operator loads his camera with film, and the director sings out, "All ready!" Now for the instructions! The director and his motley company of dusky Arabian supernumeraries have slight differences about various matters but through the aid of Aineen, things are smoothed out and the rehearsal proceeds. After the scenes for the day are all taken, we find the company washing up and preparing to return. We see the director settling with the Arabs, and saying goodbye, all start off on a weary ten-mile donkey ride to Luxor. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
