-FOUR HORSEMEN' SEEN IN PRE-V|EW IS REAL MASTERPIECE

It seems a pity that after witness ing the screening of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" at the preview at the Rialto yesterday. we are compelled to be limited in refer ring to the masterwork by the gen orally collective term of motion picture"
 It was critical audience who were the invited guests of the management of the Rialto for a special screening of this super-feature which the the- ater is announcing for an engagement to start Saturday.
 And it was a representative audi ence, too,-composed of members of the staff of state officials, members of the ministerial association, prom inent professional men of the city. and representative of the press.
 We would not venture to say what opinion of the production each guest had formed before the picture started but we will venture the opinion that there was not one present, who, be- fore the film had been on the screen twenty minutes, had not come to the conclusion that he had not formed his opinion half high enough; he was confronted with the realization that in this production he was indeed watching no mere "motion picture'
 And hence the pity that a produc- ton as wonderful. as inspiring and as comprehensive as this Rex Ingram masterpiece should. through the limi of the language, be consigned to the term motion picture"
 And that's exactly how the screen ing struck us. We lost all sense o time-we were waited along under the. influence of an inspiring spec tacle through narrative. the like ot which has never before reached tn, silent screen.
 If one has ready the novel, tk' witnessing of the picture will prove z revelation in the science of correc screen adaptation. There is no poin of the renowned Ibanez story tha- has been overlooked by June Mathis the scenarist responsible for tEt script. And be it said to his ever lasting credit that Rex Ingram has 1T

HAVE YOU ENTERED THE
 REPUBLICANS SCENARIO. YET? NOW BIG QUESTION

ID OPPOSE HIKE IN
 EXPRESS RATES AT
 TIE HEARING TODAY

Opposing the 26 per cent increase in rates applied for by the American Express company, various interests will make appearances today at the hearing to be conducted by Ex- aminer Pattison of the interstate com merce commission, in the senate chamber at the state house.
 The express company. on refusal of the corporation commission to grant an increase of rates within the state. appealed to the I. C. C., which will take testimony in the case today.
 For the past six weeks Amos A. Betts of the corporation commission has been gathering data from every station in which the express company operates within the state to be used in the states case on Thursday. Since notification was received of the date of the hearing both the com mission and the attorney generals office have been preparing to meet the issue and have the added support of the traffic department of the chamber of commerce. and the var ious shippers among others the pro- duce men. merchants. creamery and packing interests and others.
 The express company first filed ap- plication with the state commission to increase rates in July. 1920, to be effective August. 1920. In the 15 months since the date the company asked that the order go into effect the refusal of the commission has resulted in saving of approximately S200,0O0. Mir. Betts said yesterday.
 MT Betts said that the increase sought by the company-was unjust in view of the fact that the zone in which Arizona is included is paying a higher rate under the present rate 1 than zones on either side which have been granted increases.
 | The case to be heard at 10 o'clock l this m O Tn in g is considered of | the utmost importance involving as | it does the states right to regulate
 rates within the state.

TITLE FOR MOTION PICTURE
 STORY MUST BE SHORT AND
 SNAPPY, SAYS NOTED EDITOR

perienced screen writer and the pro- ducer are not always correct in the choosing of titles. Every season there are many good photoplays. with fine plots, portrayed by excellent actors, which fail to reap financial harvests predicted for them. because of poor titles. At the present time there is very fine picture which has fallen far below the returns estimated by its producer because the picture did not have the power. in it's title. to attract the people into the theater. The title was not good. The title must have a pulling power. and it is fact that a good story with a poor title will deny the producer thousands of dollars which he is rightfully entitled to on the merits of his production. It is also true that an excellent title will very often put a poor picture over. Why Because the public likes the title and is attracted to the thea ter because it believes that particular title offers something promising. It may not be satisfied with the story. but the exhibitor has benefited fi- nancialIy and made money. One often hears it said: The title made that picture" This is very often true.
 Be sure and give your story the very best title it is possible for you to give it. It may be the means of your selling the story. and, the selling of your story may be the means of breaking the ice for you and starting you on the road to success. Concen- trate on the title. l cannot impress this too forcibly on the aspirant.
 Trusting that I have impressed upon the reader the necessity of good titles, I will tomorrow take you along with me to the next step. which will be the construction of the pho toplaY.

go was appointed director of the budget and assumed his duties July 1, 1921. He has, under the law, a budget officer in each of the nine departmentSS. In the five months he has been at work he has accom-. plished great results along two lines. First, he has cut out all the padding in the departmental estimates. Sen ator Shoot will not be able to tell his $2O,000, 900 story in regard to the estimates put in this year, or here after. Second he has done wonders in co-ordinating and setting to rights many executive activities.
 '"The net result Of what General Dawes bureau of the budget has done is a saving of about $500, ,000, 900 in the estimates made by the treas ury department in the spring of 1921. This saving so far as it represents cuts in departmental estimates, is. of course. simply a paper saving un- til congress, by adhering to the fig ures submitted by the president on Dec 5, make- the saving of real and not a paper saving.
 Tt is because there is no evidence that congress is going to follow these budget figures that am here. I have
 
 actual conditions in our national cap ital, conditions for which no individ- ual and no political party is respon- sible. The blame is squarely upon the people of the United States for their lack of interest in public affairs.
 ''The remedy is simple. We want congress to change it's rules of pro cedure by passing self-denying ordi- nances covering the following points:
 "(a) The consideration by the house and by the senate, sitting as commit tees Of the whole, of the entire fi- | nancial plan contained in the presi- dents budget and in the report of a single appropriation committee in the house and In the senate. Such a sim gle appropriations committee has been created by tn house, but not yet by the senate.
 "(b) A rule by which the members of both houses of congress deny themselves the right to introduce any bills calling for the appropriation of moneys until the presidents budg- ct is acted upon and disposed of.
 'sThe only way to make congress listen is to get from 25,000 to 225,- l 900 people m tl IS country converted l to a wholehearted belief in three slo- l gans:
 "0) Make congress follow the presidents budget, founded on Gen. eral Dawes work.
 "(2) Take your national problem. to the executive departments ant not to congress
 "(3) Use the new standard fol measuring the success of every mem l Der of every legislative body-'No what you ge foI your constituents but what yor save for the country the state or the city.'''

No other photograph even dares the test which the New Edison underwent last Monday, before large audience at the High School auditorium.
 That fact is something for you to think about.
 The test of comparison with living artists is the only photograph test which means anything. It is the only way in which photograph can ire futably prove it's realism. It is the most drastic of all photograph tests. To sustain 1t, requires absolutely per feet realism,-nothing less.
