Stent /hm. Socmen "THE FOUR HORSEMEN" COMING; FIRST $1,000,000 PHOTOPLAY Rex Ingram Production for Metro Marks New Epoch-Wlbanez Film Surpasses Stage in Grip on Emotions HAILED AS THE SUPREME EXPRESSION OF SCREEN ART Rex Ingram's $1,000,000 produc tion of ''The Four Horsemen of the Acocalypse," made for Metro, is an nounced by tfie Herrings Theater, Winton, for April 24th and 20th and at the RICHARD THEATRE, Ahos Ide, April 28th and 29th. This will be the first showing here of the screen version of Vicente Blasco Ibanez's novel that has been acclaimed in New York, Chicago, Boston, Pittsburgh, Detroit and Los Angeles as mark ing a new epoch in the development of motion pictures. At its New York opening people paid $10 a seat. Crit ics said the picture had definitely es tablished the screen not only as cap able of rivalling the stage at its best, but of surpassing in it its grip upon the emotions. "The Four Horsemen" is the su preme expression of the Great War. Certainly no novel has stirred the uni versal appeal created by the Ibanez masterpiece. The book, now in its one hundred and sixth edition, has been read throughout the world. The monumental task of transferring it to the screen was accompliihed by June Mathis, who made a scenario that from all accounts has preserved _ the force of the original and in many incidents heightened it. But it is the director, Rex Ingram, who has ap parently achieved the most sensation al success. He is reported to have set a new mark in artistry oof picturiza tion. Readers of the novel will receall that the story opens on the Argentine ranch of old Madariaga, whose terri tories are as extensive as those of the great independent barons of fendal times. And Madariaga rules with feudal power. A rioting, roystering despot, he is filled with Castilian pride of family and yearns for a male child to carry on his traditions. His two daughters have married ranch em ployees?one French and the other German. Madariaga's Latin anti pathy to the German son-in-law brings with it a dislike of his half-German grandchildren, but when a son is born to the Frenchman, Desnoyers, the old man finds his dream realized. The boy, Julio, is selected hs heir to the huge estate and is brought up .as a spoiled prince of the realm. As a young man Julio becomes the com panion of Madariaga's debauched ad ventures in Buenos Ayres tango res orts. But Madariaga dies suddenly without making a will and the German branch of the family finds itself shar ing the estate equally with the Des noyers. With this sudden wealth, the two families leave the Argentine for Euroe. The Desnoyers settle in Paris, and Julio an exert tango dancer, becomes the sensation of the fashionable dance places. He meets a fascinating little society woman, Marguerite Lauijer, and the two of them are swept into a reckless love affair that takes no count of Marguerite's elderly husband. Thqir butterfly mentali ties do not even respond at first to the sudden shock of war that breaks about them. It is 1914 and the Germans are advancing toward Paris. Mar guerite is first awakened to the reali zation of tremendous events. . She Joins the French nursing force rind sacrfiices her love for Julio in order to be the constant companion of her husband, who is blinded in battle. Julio, left without the stimulation of frivolous attractions, hears the call of duty and enlists in the French army, where he meets death at the hands of his German cousin when the two fkce each other in a trench raid. Through it all are galloping the four horsemen, spoken of by St John in the Book of the Apocalypse?the grim figures of Conquest, War, Fain ine and Death.

Well, I should snigger. She can hyponitize anything that wears pants, from the prince at his gilded poker game, to the peasant scattering worm poison in the lowly cotton patch and revolv ing in his think tank the tenets of populism, and I'm not sure but the clothing store dummies and their brother dudes are simply the physical wrecks and mental ruins of her hyp notic medicine. She hypnotizes be cause she can't help it. She's built that way. Woman does not "oper ate" as do a brand-new dime to look at. She puts her dimples in evi dence?maelstroms of love in a sea of beauty. She dazzles you for a moment with the dreamy splendor of her byes, then studies the toe of a boot that would raise a Kansas com crop for Trilby or supply Cinderella with bunions. . She looks down to blush and she comes up to sigh? catches you a-goin' and comin', and you're gone! You realize that the linchpin is slipping out of your logic, but you let 'er slip You suspect that your judgement has taken unto itself wings, and that you couldn't tell whether you are a red licker Demo crat or a herd cider Prohibitionist, but you don't care. You simply bid farewell to every fear, and give the "operator'' your undivided attention. She plays with a skilled hand'On ad! your senses until the last one of them "passes with music out of sight," and leaves you a mental^bankrupt. She makes you drunken with the mnsic of her voice and maddens you with the low, sweet melody of her skirts. She permits you, quite accidentally, to catch a glimpse of an ankle turned for an angel, and, as she bends for ward to chastise you with her fan, your vagrant gaze rests for a fleeting moment on alabaster hemispheres rising in a billowy sea of lace, like Aphrodite cradled in old ocean's foam. You are now far advanced in the hypnotic trance, and very fond of it as far you've got. Her every posture is a living picture, her slight est movement sensuous symphony, her breath upon your cheek a perfum ed air to waft you to the dreamy .but dangerous land of the lotus-eaters. You drift nearer, and nearer, like a moth revolving in narrowing circles around an incandescent light, until you find yourself with her in some cozy nook, the world forgetting if not by yonr creditors forgot. Being nat urally industrious, you seek employ ment, and she gives you her hand to hold. Of course, she could it herself, but the occupation pleases you, and she doesn't mind. Besides you make more rapid progress in the realm of irresponsibility by taking care of it for her occasionally. You conceive that what is worth doing at all, is worth doing well, and so you freeze to that little fragment of pulsing snow like a fanner to his Waterbury in a campmeeting crowd. She re wards your devotion to duty by a gentle pressure, and a magnetic thrill starts at your finger tips and goes through your system like an apple jack toddy, until it makes your toes tingle, then starts on its return trip, gathering volume as it travels, until it becomes a tidal wave that envelopes all your world. You are now uncer tain as to whether you have hit the lottery for the capital prise or been nominated for justice of the peace. You have lost your identity, and should you chance to meet yourself in the middle of the road would need an introduction. The larger the supply ?f brains you sat Jn UMMI the leas you have left. You/begin to talk incoherently, and lay the premise for a breach of promise case. You sip the hand-made nectar from the rosy .slot in hfcr face, harrow the Parisian peach bloom on her cheek with your scrubbing-brush mustache, reduce the circumference of her health corset with your manly arm, Right there the last adumbration of responsibility ends, and complete abberration begins. You sigh like a furnace and write sonnets to your mistress' eyebrows,?you cut fantas tic capers before high Heaven for the divertisement of those who don't yet know themselves how it is. The "op erator" may break the spell by marry ing you in which case you will return by easy stages to the normal and again become a sane man, an a useful member of society; but if she lets you down with the "sister" racket, your nervous system is pretty apt to sour. When a woman loses her hypnotic power she either straddles a bike, be comes a religious crank or seeks sur cease of sorrow among female suffra gists. ?Selected.
