VALENTINO DANCED
HIS WAY TO SUCCESS
Hero of Ingram's "The Four Horse.

Dancing.

Rudolph Valentino, the celebrated
young dancer who has the leading
male role in "The Four Horsemen of
the Apocalypse" Rex Ingram pro-
duction for Metro, to be shown at
the Opera House House next week,
found his way to fame and fortune
through his nimble feet.
When you see Mr.. Valentino in

finished acting, the sure swagger of
the cafe scenes laid in the Argentine

opinion that here is man initiated
in theatrical ways as child.
But it was neither as dancer nor
an actor that Mr.. Valentino hoped to
take fortune by storm. 1t was in the
more humble sphere as prospective
agriculturist that he came to the
United States, at the age of eighteen,
graduate from the Royal Military
College of Agriculture at Genoa,
Italy. AS he planned his future he
would become one of the great land
owners in this country of opportu-
nifty.
But things happened swiftly for
him in New York. Soon he was busy
teaching Broadway's regulars his
graceful steps. He appeared at Rec
tors as a dancing partner of Bonnie
Glass following this engagement with
one in the Winter Garden and long.
term contract in vaudeville.
From dancing to motion pictures
was an easy step. His first picture

Person" When Rex Ingram, in his
painstaking search for the type to

American hero of "The Four Horse

NEW RULE SPEEDS
UP APPEAL CASES

Columbia, Nov. 17.-A rule of the
supreme court, adopted yesterday,
will be of great value in expediting
the disposition of appeal cases. The
new rule specifies that the supreme
court may in open session dismiss an
appeal in a criminal action, after the
return has been filed, if the court is
shawn that the appeal is without
merit. The solicitor shall make petit
ton for such dismissal, and the court
will then set a date for hearing the
motion. The appellant must be al
lowed at least five days before argu-
ment of the motion, after being serv-
ed with copy of the petition. The
need of such rule has been evident
in several recent notorious appeals to
the court, which appeals stayed exc
cution of court sentences.
