Screen World Is A-Tiptoe
Waiting For Ibanez's Film
Years Run on Broadway Predicted for Metro
Version of -Four Horsemen" Tale.

In the matter of important events
having to do with the production
of motion pictures, no single item
Is to be compared with the interest
embodied in the forthcoming pres
entation to the public of the screen
version OF Vincente Blasco Ibanez's
world famous novel, The Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse" which
has been completed by the Metro
Pictures Corporation.
This picture, involving a vast
amount of money invested in cast
and equipment. and dealing with q
subject so wide in its scope and
so necessarily realistic and vital
in its actual execution. promises
in the realm of the photo drama a
new and interesting chapter. The
real success of the task which Rex
Ingraham. the producer, set out to
accomplish. however. will not be
known until the picture is pre-
,sented, as it will be early In March
before the public.
A large theater is to be selected
for its first showing. Hugo Riesen-
field, managing director of the
Rialto, Rivoli and Criterion in New
York. will have control Of the pres
entation. 1t has been predicted by
those in charge of the film that it
will run at least one year on Broad
way. This. of course, would estab-
lish q new long run" record for a
motion picture and would probably
mark The Four Horsemen OF the
Apocalypse" as being the greatest
motion picture ever made.
Henry Arthur Jones. the veteran
British playwright, is studying pho
toplay technique in Long Island.
His first photodrama, The Call OF
Youth" has been filmed an6 is to
be seen here soon.
Fritz Leiber. who has the leading
mans part in The Song of the
Soul" one of the Messmore Kendall
productions. starring Vivian Mar
tin, has played leading parts with
Julia Marlowe, David warfield and
Robert B. Mantell.
Nicholas Dunaev, who plays the
part Of q snake charmer in "The
Palace OF Darkened windows," was
born in Moscow. where his father
was mayor. Claire Anderson and
Jay Belasco. jr., play the leaains
roles In the picture.
All good things have an ending,

thought it fell short of expectation.
However the free street parade,
showing a number Of animals for

everybody. One animal of the cattle
family attracted special notice and
much speculation was made as to its
kind and nativity. An official Of
