There is great story in the Ibanez

WRECKS FRENCH VILLAGE FOR
SCENE IN -FOUR HoRsEMEN"

The French village pictured in the
Rex Ingram production of Ibanez's
'The Four Horsemen of the Apoca-
lypse," at the Colonial January 18 and
19, was probably the biggest setting
ever constructed for cinema purposes
Nearly three months were consumed
by Metro workmen in the construction
of the buildings. Then the entire vii
lage, with the surrounding farm
houses and the stone castle, was razed
under the fire of heavy artillery used
to represent the German guns in the
battle of the Marne.
One evidence of the care that was
taken to reproduce the battle scene
with complete accuracy was found in
the rebuilding that was ordered after
a careful inspection of the village
houses by Rex Ingram. He discovered
that three of the buildings had not
been made to conform with the plans
OF the village sent from France. The
buildings were Immediately wrecked
and exact reproductions erected in
their places.
More than 5000 men participated in
the battle scenes. Constant drilling of
the ctor-soldiers-all of whom served
with the American forces abroad
made 1t possible to eliminate practical
ly all danger OF accidents such as
usually mar great mob" scenes. AS
an added precaution, however. field
hospitals were erected for practical.
not picture purposes.
In addition. field kitchens, mess
tents and costumers' shops were put
up and supplied with their wares for
US during the six days that the great
army Of actors and fighting men were
under canvas.
Although this was the first In the
history of film making that the re
production OF a battle on the scale of
modern warfare has been attempted
with conscientious fidelity to detail, it
