That Metros presentation of 'The
Four Horsemen Of the Apocalypse"
the Rex Ingram production adapted
for The screen by June Mathis, rivals
the greatest theatrical offerings Of
the legitimate stage, was the opinion
of John Calvin, Mayor Of Cincinnati,
after twice viewing the picture in
New York. This screen masterpiece
is now showing at the Opera House.
ut is the greatest picture I have
ever seen," declared Mr.. Calvin. "Its
dramatic power is something Won
derful and it affected me just as
much as though I were witnessing
spoken performance. 1t stirs the
emotions and I am not ashamed to
say that parts of that picture
brought a lump to my throat and
= ars to rly eyes.
"Pic. .ures like "Ihe Four Horse
men" are the greatest kind of adver-
tisement to show that the movies are
g.. liable of just as wonderful drama
t..c elects as the speaking stage. 1t
shows what tremendous things the
big companies of the motion picture
industry are doing to advance the
standard of pictures"
