The Thief of Bagdad

Screening on Film

Directed by Raoul Walsh.
With Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., Snitz Edwards, Charles Belcher, Julanne Johnston.
US, 1924, 35mm, black & white, silent, 140 min.

Fairbanks, who wrote, produced, and starred in this lavish, action-packed Arabian Nights-inspired epic, was so impressed by The Toll of the Sea that he cast Wong as a double-crossing “Mongol Slave.” She delivered a sultry, scene-stealing performance that launched her to stardom.
