and back should be of IL material
to allow the temperature of the out
side air to do its work; also the door
which opens into the room should be

should be 3" thick. Note that the

Mrs. Cory had been busting about

Katherine felt ridiculous and I'M

demanded Grossly.

There was a thread sticking out OF
the seam in the armhole of her dress.
Jim took hold of it and pulled. It

laughter rose from the table. Every

them over the Goals. How good the

What is the significance of the
meaning of the word apocalypse"
This question has been propounded
so often in connection with Metros
million dollar spectacle, 'The Four
Horsemen of the Apocalypse" which
shows at the Eagle theatre, Bisbee,
next Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
and the Central theatre, Lowell, next
Monday and Tuesday, that Webster
might be called upon to answer it.
Webster's definition of the word is
"a disclosure; a revelation
In the early Greek versions or the
Bible the last chapter of the new tes-
lament was known as The Apoca-
lypse of st. john" but this was later
changed to THE Revelations OF st.
JOHN but present day students of
The Book know that this chapter of
the Bible is known as "The Book of
Revelation"
1t is in this chapter of the Holy
Book that the four horsemen, war con
quest. pestilence and death are men,
toned.
Vicente Blasco IbaneZ, in his won
drous novel, 1.-The Four Horsemen of
the Apocalypse" endeavored to show
the influence of these enemies of
mankind, and it is this story that has
been visualized on the screen by the
Metro Pictures Corporation.
More than 1900 people interpret
the characters of Blasco Ibanez' book.
while more than $1,OOO,O0O and a year
and half of constant effort were
spent on the production. Rex Ingram
directed the spectacle, while June
Maths adapted it for the screen. It
is being handled as a road show nv
the Metro Pictures Corporation. and
will be presented at the Eagle and
Central theatres on a lavish scale.
There will be matinees daily at the
Eagle, and one show only each eve
nlng starting at 7:30. There will he
put one performance each night at
the Central theatre, beginning at 1870
sharp.
