THE "FOUR HQRSFM r ; ' FIRST $1 Rex Ingram's $1,000,000 production of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," m^de for Metro, is announced bv the Opera House begin s *. - ^Ding November 23rd. This will be the j? .-first showing here of the screen version of Vicenttf Blasco Ibanez's novel that has been acclaimed in New York, r? Chicago, Boston, Pittsburg, Detroit and Los Angeles as marking a new epoch in the development of motion pictures. At its New York opening people paid $10 a seat. Critics said the picture had definitely established the screen not only as capable of riv aling the stage at its best, but. of surpassing it in its grip upon the emotions. "The .Four Horsemen" is* the supreme expression of the Great War. . Certainly no novel has stirred the universal appeal created by th? Ibanez masterpiece. The book, now "in its one hundred* and sixty-sixth edition, has betfh read throughout the W/, "world. The monumental task of transferrins? il; to the screen was accom p, _ ? plished by June Mathis, who made a scenario that from all accounts has ; / preserved the force of the original ?nd in many incidents heightened it. But it is the director, Rex Ingram, who has apparently achieved the most g sensational success. He is. reported ; ^to Jiave set >a new mark in ^rtistry of picturization. ' Readers of the novel will recall that the story opens on the Argentine fy -ranch of old Madariaga, whose territories are as extensive as those of fee great independent barons of feudal power. A rioting, roystering desry. '* pot, he is filled with Castilian pr.'de of family and yearns for a male child to earry on his tradition. His two daughters have married ranch employees?one French and the o'ther ^German. Madariaga's Latin antipathy HISTORY OF PLANS k' > Naval Holiday Scheme Drawn up s . . . t By Civilian*. Washington, Nov. 16.?As technicial experts of the bag five sat down , today to "work over the details of the ,naval rdnction proposals, there were indications that the plan presented by the American delegation was in itself a compromise on what American naval experts had first propos-sir., ; ' v No authoritative pronouncement was made but there were intimations that the most vital element of the plan?the naval replacement scheme . ?had been framed by the four American delegates themselves, all civilians, the original ' scheme suggested by the American > ^ naval advisers having beln rejgardnnaivanh/Kta +n w OO ?**wvw|f^v.v wv ? >" Great Britain and Japan. ^ It was the wish of Secretary ^ Hughes and his colleagues to pro pose a program so generous to the , other two powers that there would kV fee every retason to expect its accept ance as evidence of American good > faith. v. So far as the program as presented goes, some naval officers* here see in it items which they believe could have been presented in (better terms for the Unietd States without endangering the success of the conference, 'but there seems to !be substantial agreement that America's interests liow? IhoAn ca-faaninrHcH Knt.li in t.hp immediate reductions proposed and in the ultimate limitation program. ?k>w that the matter is back in the naval experts hands, it sefcms possi"j' i^,;Me that the original position of the *" v American advisers would tend to S -stiffen their opposition to any modi fication of th^ American replacement proposals they may regard as 'v disadvantageous to the United States. There is little doubt, for instance, that the British suggestion for limitation of submarines to non' sea-going, purely defensive craft, would fall in this classification under the American view. It is hound to be debated at great length in any case, it is said. ???????? Powder Puffs. V' Powder ]puffs are now being made / in all kinds of pretty colors and are used with glass powder cases, thus adding a very pretty touch to the color scheme of the girl's room. Puffs of real beaver are new and very nfiich liked for their softness. . N s . V 1 IN" COMING, ,000,000 PHOTOPLAY 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 as heir to the huge estate and is brought up as a spoiled prince of the realm. As a young man Julio becomes the companion of Madariaga's debauched adventures in I Buenos Ayres tango resorts. But Madariacra dies suddenly without mak ing a will and the German branch of the family finds itself sharing the estate equally with the Desnoyers. With this sudden wealth, the two families leave the Argentine for Eu: rope. The Desnoyers settle in Paris, and Julio, an expert tango dancer, becomes the sensation of the fashionable dance places. He meets a fascinating little society woman, Marguerite Laurier, and the two of them are swept into a reckless love affair that takes no count of Marguerite's elderly husband. Their butterfly mentalities 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. Marguerite is first awakened to the realization of tremendous events* She joins the French nursing force and sacrifices her love for Julio in order tb 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 face each other in a trench raid. , Through it all are galloping tlie four horsemen, spoken of by St. John in the Book of the Apocalypse ' " r> ? <1 ' L TTT ?tne grim ngures 01 t-?unquesi, nrar, Famine and Death, * DENIES WATSON CHARGE No Word of 'Truth In Senator's Tales. Omaha, Neb., Nov. 17.?Charges of unwarranted hangings of American soldiers overseas, recently made in the United States Senate by Senator Watson of Georgia, were denied here today by Colonel William 0. 'Gilbert, who had charge of death, dismissal and penitentiary c^es , at A. E. F. headquarters at Chaumont, France. "There is not one word of truth in the tales of these executions," Colonel Gilbert was quoted as saying. i4If I remember rightly, there were about ten men executed in France," 'adding that the death penalty was not. inflicted except for mutedr and 'criminal assault. "If these brutal hangings of men without trial'had j occurred," he - said, "rumors of them ,would have reached our office, I 1 * even though we would have no official record\of such things. ' MNot one man was executed for military* offenses. There was no iman more careful to see that a sol'dier was not executed except on ! proof positive of his guilt than Genieral Pershing. He took extreme jcare and personally went over every case, turning down a gr^at many of J them." Coli/nel Gilbert, now judge advocate of the eighth army corps area j with headquarters at Fort Sam Housiton, Texas, is visiting in Omaha, en , route back to Texas after a trip to the west coast. BOOTLEGGERS GET THEIRS i . . 7~;? Stole Fifty. Million From GovernI ' ment. i 1 New York, Nov. 17.?Between 25 and 30 bootleggers in New York city have defrauded the government of more than $50,000,000 in 1920 income taxes and penalties, Frederick J. Kopff, assistant United States attorney of Brooklyn, stated today. Of several such cases Mr. Kopff is i investigating in Brooklyn, only one, I that of Edward J. Donegan, a Brook\ lyn contractor, has been acted npj on. The government has started proceedings to compel him to pay $1,! 635,797 in taxes and penalties. Four other cases have been referred to ! Washington. Mr. Kopff said his $50,1000,000 estimate did not include , similar delinquencies by hundreds I of small bootleggers. i - . :v . \ - COAST GUARD ACADEMY ' OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES Congressman Dominick Recommends That Young Men Take Examina* ticns January 3 Congressman Fred H. Dominick today gave out the following statement. as to the appointment of cadets and^ cadet engineers to the Coast Guard, Academy at New London, Conn.: "As well as the other Congressmen from South Carolina, I have received many applications from young men who desire to enter the Military Academy at West Point or Naval Academy at AnnapoIi&, and more than the number of appointments at my disposal. "It has been brought to my attention that an excellent opportunity now exists for y^ttng men to enter the ?oast Guard Academy, at New London, Conn., as cadets or cadet ; < engineers, and upon graduation to become commissioned officers of the Coast Guard with the same pay arid allowances as are received by officers of corresponding rank in the Navy. The age limits for appointment as cadet are 18 to 24 years and for appointment as cadet engineer 20 to 25 years, so young meo^ who perhaps have passed the age limits for admission to the Military Academy pr to the Naval Academy may stui oe eiigipie lor aaraission to tne Coast Guard Academy. HA competitive examination to fill the vacancies in the grades of cadet and cadet engineer in the Coast Guard will be held in various places in the United, States beginning January 3, 1922. The opportunity for a# appointment this year is particularly favorable as there are an unusually large number of vacancies. "The course of study embraces three years and includes, of course, academic as well as military instructions. During this time, the student receives the same pay and allowances as cadets at the Naval Academy: $780 a year, which is sufficient to pay all his expenses and cost of tuition. It may be added that in peace times, the Coast Guard is under the Treasury Department but in time of / war, jn the Navy. . "i will be glad to send full details and literature relative to this examination to any young man in my district who may be interested in receiving a good education and training at government expense and upon his graduation receive a commission in the Coast Guard at a good salary." .THE STATE'S LIMERICKS . _ - ' Newberry Observer Criticise* "Young Man" Who is Not Mas. The Newberry Observer says: "The young man of The State, who fills the first column on the editorial page with bright paragraphs, has been taclding the style of poetry called 'limerick's' of late. Here is a specimen of his Monday's effort: . * # 'There was a young man from Sinn Fein land Who was offered an ulster in Green' land, But the insult he spurned And to ice-blocks was turned; Which with pride they will show you in Greenland.' "Not to speak of the lame feet, the association of the ideas of 'Greenland' and the 'emerald isle,' which . we presume was intended, is rather farfetched and not sufficiently obvious to the ordinary perception to be justified by any rules of poetic license. And the bringing in of I'Greenland' at tbe close of two .verses in the same stanza cannot be 'justified either, we think." The "young man" who writes these | paragraphs is not a young man at I all, nor an old man either. "He" is I a woman who lives in Charleston and I who, according to those that should I know, is now the leading, poet or poetess in the South. She has been a contributor to a numbe# of the leading periodicals. ! Some of The State's paragraphs, I however, are written by men, but' neither of them is exactly young, beiine over fifty.
