Fans may come, and fans may so,

Baseball is perhaps of all the sports

varieties-general sport fans, that is
the kind that are football fans when
football is on, baseball fans when
baseball is on, prizefight, wrestlin3,
and tennis fans in season. But the
baseball fan doesn't change his affec-
tions for the game that has enabled
Babe Ruth to go into vaudeville and
get away with it. If he isn't sitting in
the bleachers in the summer, he is
doping it out" in the winter, and
reading eagerly of the latest sales
waps. and refusals to play among the
players
In California he has an exceptional
~ fine chance to follow his flaming
on account of the Winter League
which makes a success from just this
class of hleacher sports.
Indications point to the winter lea
que becoming a stronger and stronger
organization as time goes on. and
here are many who predict that it,
drawing power will increase so that in
4 few years the biggest stars in base
ball will be under contract to play OF

of lbanez Story for Metro E'ulfills
Promise of Epical Achievement
Tccmhg Human Passion Amid the
Grandeur of War.
"The Four Horsemen of the Apoca-
| lypse" opened last night at the Rivoli
/ Theatre This is the Rex Ingram pro-
duction that cost Metro S1,000,0oO to
make and that New Workers paid $40
a seat to see when it opened its rec
/ lord-breaking run in the metropolis.
/ The artistic results are priceless. In
dications of the screens power have
! been given in memorable productions
! of other years. but not until THE
Four Horsemen" has there been a
photodmma that has completely fill
ed the promise of epicai achievement.
1t is in this sense of recording
| mighty events that the screen super
| iority over the stage was recognized
1 by critics after the first showing Of
"The Four Horsemen." Some of them
harked back to the days of Shake
speare and the E,izabethan revival for
a parallel in the theatre to the Rex
Ingram production, They recognized
Il the grandeur of the Great War had
here been visualized as lasting me-
morial
But THE Four Horsemen" is not a
war play, except as the war serves as
Il background for story teening with
dramatic passion. Readers of the
novel by the sensational Spaniard, Vi
cente Blasco lbanez, from which the
photo drama was adapted. have re-
ported surprised delight at the fidel-
ity with which the scenarioist June
Mathis, has followed the story, a story
that has been more widely read
Throughout the world than any other
uf modern times. Its effect is height.
ened In the picture n supreme express
sion Of the cinematographic art
The artist to whom most credit has
been awarded for this achievement is
the director, Rex Ingram. Himself q
sculptor before he entered the motion
picture field. he has brought to the
screen sense OF composition and
form that is infallible in getting the
right result down to the smallest de-
ltail, And then there are the big set
tings-the broad sweep Of the Argen
Itine plains with their enormous herds
of cattle. the Buenos Ayres dance hall
with its swirl OF smoke and glamorous
vice the whirling gaiety of the Paris
ian tango palace. the feyered rush Of
the mobilization scenes at the out
break Of the war, the cluttered retreat
OF the refugees. the seemingly endless
masses of German troops pouring to-
ward Paris. the hombardment and de-
Struction Of a village and chateau
on the Marne, the terrific horror and
fascination Of an infantry attach from
the trenches inte No Mans land. And
through ii all IS the uncannv vision Of
81 John, picturing the -Four Horse
men--Conauest War. Famine and
peaih-a vision that Mr.. Ingram has
portrayed in an atmosphere Of un-
earthly imagipGtion
The actors-and there are fifty
