THE "FOUR HORSFMI RRST $1,1 Rex Ingram's $1,000,000 produc- i tion of "The Four Horsemen of the!] Apocalypse," made for Metro, is an- , nounced by the Opera House begin- i ning November 23rd. This will be the ] first showing here of the screen ver- < sion of Vicente Blasco Ibanez's novel | i that has been acclaimed in New York, i Chicago, Boston, Pittsburg, Detroit < and Los Angeles as marking a new 1 epoch in the development of motion 1 pictures. At its New York opening ji ? Tj>eopI<r~lHiid $10 a seat. Critics said I the picture had definitely established |? the screen not only as capable of riv- < aling the stage at its best, but of i surpassing it in its grip upon the i emotions. i "The Four Horsemen" is the su- >. preme expression of the Great War. 1 Certainly no novel has stirred the < universal appeal created by the j Ibanez masterpiece. The book, now 1 in its one hundred and sixty-sixth j edition, has been read throughout the ] world. The monumental task of trans-1 ] ferring it to the screen was accom- i plished by June Mathis, who made a j scenario that from all accounts has j preserved the force of the original 1 and in many incidents heightened it. 1 But it is the director, Rex Ingram, who has apparently achieved the most 1 , tjr~ I, sensational success, nc i? icpumu < to have set a new mark in artistry of < picturizatictn. ; 1 Readers of the novel will recall t that the story opens on the Argentine ranch of old Madariaga, whose terri- i tories are as extensive as those of J the great independent barons of feu- dal power. A rioting, roystering des- I pot, he is filled with Castilian pride of family and yearns for a male child to carry on his tradition. His two daughters have married ranch s employees?one French and the other s German. Madariaga's Latin antipathy a to the German son-in-law brings c 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 I Julio, is selected as heir to the huge i: JUreIT ? | Great ]V I in a Grea JU 1 | Chichi J 1 And Rene, the youn ft I at the age where his 2 ? budding, but bravely ff 2 would leave, and tr 2 Seine.

As a young man b Julio becomes the companion of Ma- t: iariaga's debauched adventures in o Buenos Ayres tango resorts. But Ma- o iariaga dies suddenly without mak- L ng a will and the German branch of o ;he family finds itself sharing the ;state equally with the Desnoyers. A SVith this sudden wealth, the two n families leave the Argentine for Eu- ti "ope. (* -the. -a&utti ir. Julio, an expert tango dancer, be-1 ti :omes the sensation of the fashion-]a ible dance places. He meets a fasci- "V mating little society woman, Marguerite Laurier, and the two of them are C swept into a reckless love affair that p ;akes no count of Marguerite's eld- h jrly husband. Their butterfly mental- ^ ities do not even respond at first to :he sudden shock of war that breaks > about them. It is 1914 and the Ger- V nans are advancing toward Paris. V Marguerite is first awakened to the \ ealization of tremendous events. She \ ioins the French nursing force and sacrifices her love for Julio in order d ;o be the constant companion of her lusband, who is blinded in battle, d rulio, left without the stimulation of G frivolous attractions, hears the call >f duty and enlists in the French w irmy, where he meets death at the lands of his German cousin when the T ;wo face each other in a trench raid.

Yet the strtffifeoriginated in San Francisco. The speaker stood on the roof of the great 1 civic auditorium there and the music came from phonograph records played in the building on which he stood 1 for an audience 3,000 miles away. It was the formal dress rehearsal of the mechanism by which President Harding's voice, as he speaks the nation's homage on Armistice day over ; the casket of America's unknown ! dead from France will be carried to i an audience sitting before the am-'; plifiers in New York and to another j gathering in San Francisco to share ^ in America's great day of tribute. " Telephone wires by the thousands of *! miles, linemen* by the hundreds, tele-1; graph operators by the score were needed for the tests as they will be . needed on Armistice day to bring the^ experiment to the success so certain- < ly foreshadowed by today's perfect i results. High officers of the army and the officials of the Amer'can Tele- 1 phone & Telegraph Co., which is mak- 1 ing tms contnoution to uie memory of the dead soldier, had no doubts of j that success after the first sentence!] spoken at San Francisco was clearly'] audible to them at half mile distance t from the amplifiers in the amphitea- ] ter at Arlington.
