man, at once enlists. Julio, consider
ing himself South American, at first
elects to remain in civil life, attending
to his painting. Marguerite however,
becomes nurse. Julio becomes,
desperately unhappy and dissatisfied
with the emptiness of his selfish exist

becomes a burning fame which burns
away all the dross and sends him re-
Ipentant to his father, wearing the
uniform of soldier of France. Mean

Through tt is entire marvellous story
passes the Christlike figure Of T chernoff
the Russian Tchernoff, the Revelr
ator, who visualizes for those who
will listen the figures which gave this
great story its name, the figures of the
Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
War, Famine, Pestilence and Death.
Like the true visions seen by st.
John the Divine, as described in the
Book of Revelations, these grim horse
men appear upon the screen at times
bearing their warning and message to
the struggling nations. 1t is this
Tchernoff who NETS Julio's family
upon the battlefield after the war,
when they are searching. for their sons
grave He leads them to Julio's last
resting place. t.You knew him?" they
asked. = knewthe1n ALL" replied the
stranger, pointing to the long rows Of
little white crosses.

been arranged by Ernest Luz, to ae-
company the presentation of this

be not players but the actual charact-

them. Among the princi pals are such
nares as Rudolph Valentino, Alice
Terry, Wallace Beery, Pomeroy, Can
non, John Sanpolis, Stuart Holmes,
Joseph SWickard, Mabel Van Buren,
