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

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.

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.

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."

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.
