In addition, a special overture is offered, "Favorite Melodies of Long Ago," by Lake. The scenic effects that serve aa a background for this music are magnificent.

Blushes there la not one In the entire subject. Crime suggestion none, unless one who sees the picture feet a strong Impulse to do violence to any man or woman caught in the act of abusing his or her aged mother. This photoplay Is the William Fox production "Over the Hill," a pictdr Izatlon of two of the most popular poems In Will Carleton'a "farm Hal lads." The film scenario was made by Paul H.

Miss Talmadge plays the part of Poppy Destin whoee life Is molded by three men Luce Ablnger, the unscru pulous; Dr. Ilramhan, the generous, and Kvelyn Carson, the lover, who have become known as the "three wdrst men In South Africa." But two of these prove that thoy are entitled to a log aevere description. ' Through this trio the story unfolds, and the unlous altn. ation arises of a young woman belne- married to a man without knowing It, while the man she loves and who love, her believes his one meeting with her waa only a dream. The unraveling of this plot makes one of the most en. grossing of photoplays. The Fofir Horsemen." No picture that haa so far been pro duced has received the unstinted praise of persons of hlgH standing that are really qualified to speak of It's true merit, as has The Four Horsemen of tho Apocalypse. Adolph S. Ochs. presi dent of the New York Times, .after seeing the Initial showing of the pic ture, wrote an unsolicited letter to the Metro offices which said In part: "I wish to congratulate you on what I consider is the highest point that has yet been reached in dramatic presen tation on the screen. I do not believe I ever saw an audience for more than 1 two hours so Impressed and thrilled, t hope that your great enterprise and artistic work will have the reward It so richly deserves." Matthew White, Jr., dramatic editor of Munsey's magaiine, among ether things said, "1 feel that I may say that I consider It the finest picture I have ever seen." Col. Krlc Fisher Wood, veteran of the world war and one of the founders of the American Legion, wrote as fol lows: "Whether as a love story, a story of sacrifice, or as spectacle. It Is wln derful. I never believed that real war could be pictured on the screen until I saw this amaslngly realistic film."

Not a de tail In it has been slighted. Its caste Is chosen with an almost uncanny in sight. It has beeh produced with lavish indifference to cost. It undertakes to do nothing more than the Great Span- lard did In his bonk, and nothing less. The picture is a picture that all Ra leigh ought to see, a thing that it should lay by In Its memories. It is a picture that Raleigh's children will see. and perhaps react to as does the pres ent generation to the story of the Ckvll War. "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" mny wait a generation to come into Its undoubted place as the finest picture that has ever been made.

Blackwood President and Generdl Manager Ford Flour Co. Nashville, Ten. Borne twelve months ago we adopted the use of long distance telephone in lieu of personally calling on our trade and uslnT other means of securing business. We have found through the twelve months we have been using this service, that we have increased our business from 26 to 30 through the use of the long distance, and in 99 cases out of 100 where we have gotten in touch with our customers over the telephone we have landed the business where our experience when in using other means of communication had failed. We can certainly heartily recommend the use of long distance telephone as a mean of getting in touch with your customers, staying in touch with them, keeping them satisfied ana getting a good volume of business. 1 Jj'jj, H - Gets the Order In 99 Cases By Using Long Distance Twelve months ago the Ford Flour Company, of Nashville, Tenn., one of the South's leading flour man ufacturers, began using the long .distance telephone exclusively for sales work with its trade. J. 0. Blackwood, president and general manager, declares that the business has increased 25 to 30 per cent and sales are made in 99 cases out of a hundred when the patron is reached. This is a remarkable tribute to the sales value of the long distance telephone, but it is duplicated by many other concerns who are making intelligent and sys tematic use of this great sales agency. A power that can increase the business of a big con cern like this can certainly be applied to your business with profit Why not let us Bend a representative to explain How the long distance service can increase your sales and reduce your sales costs?
