FOUR HORSEMEN" TO
PLAY IN JACKSON
100000 Production Marks New Epoch
For Screen--wiIl Run Three Days
at Majestic Theatre.

The long-awaited Rex Ingram produc-
tion of THE Four Horsemen of the Apo
calypso" is Going to the Majestic Thea
ming Thursday, Jan. 26th. This is the
picture that cost Metro $1,000, 900 to
make, and, from all accounts the $1,000
600 was well spent, as critics agree that
all other efforts at production on a
grand scale have been surpassed and
record runs have been made in New
York, Chicago. Boston, Pittsburgh, De-
troit, Los Angeles and other cities
where the picture has been previously
shown.
Fifty principals and $500 extras were
engaged in the filming of the photodra-
ma, an entire French village and an e.
laborate chateau were erected to be de-
stroyed under the artillery lombard
ment of the German invaders. and more
than 125,0OO tons of masonry, steel,
lumber and furniture were used in Gre
ating backgrounds that are said to re-
produce with absolute fidelity the shift
ing panorama of the story.
The appeal of the story itself has
already been proved through the sue
cess of the novel by Vicente Blasco
Ibanez, upon which the photodrama is
founded. Its sale throughout the world
runs into the millions, but millions
more will probably have it revealed to
them the first time through the medium
of the screen production. This produc-
ton is reported to have followed faith
fully the epic tale of human passion a.

WANT LEGISLATION
TO HELP WOMEN
Educational and Protective Home Bills
Backed and warning ISSUED
by State Chairman.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 14-Mrs. Isabel
Bratton Crisler of Jackson, state chair
man of legislation for the Mississippi
Federation of Women's Clubs, has sent
| the following letter to the clubwomen
/ in which she tells of what the women
of the state have already done, what they
propose to do, and warns against leg
| islation that is being attempted to un-
do what the last Legislature started to
do. She says
| "This brings you a greeting from
your chairman of legislation, a fresh
appeal to your loyalty to your state,
to your love of your fellow beings, an
other call to arms for the fight against
that which is evil and the strong sup
port of the cause that is just and mer-
ciful.
THE past legislative record of the
Federation of Women's Clubs is worthy
of review and must fill you with pride
and inspire you with courage to car
ry on" These are the works that must
live after you:
1.-THE child labor law,
"The enactment of the injunction and
abatement act.
THE raising of the age of consent
Compulsory education.
"The Industrial School at Columbia
"The establishment of the colony for
the feeble-minded.
"The federation has also assisted in
all matters of public health legislation
notably the sanatorium for the cure of
tuberculosis.
1.-THE central committee has ordered
that the legislative program to be
pushed during the present session of
the Legislature be confined to the ed
ucational bill and the protective home
for women. The first is being so wide
| ly championed that there is little doubt
of its safe passage. The bill for the
protective home for women has been all
but written in the hearts blood of the
women of Mississippi. So intense and
oft repeated is their cry for the relief
of the innocent, suffering ones. the res
toration of the womanhood so precious
to the world and the safeguarding of
the future that must lessen in time the
real horrors of present conditions.
your chairman would urge also your
earnest and sympathetic support of the
child welfare bill.
"a crisis has arisen in our legisla-
llNS WOIh lldI mas uSdll US d D1OW. Like
a bolt from the blue comes House Bill
No. 81 to repeal the law establishing
the colony for the feeble-minded. 1t
is of the utmost Importance that you
communicate at once with your repre-
sentatives.
Dear women let us fight with all the
state pride that is in US to prevent
this backward step in the onward
march of the only progress that is ideal
the progress in which we feel an in
visible. leadership and yield obedience
to Divine command
Let us pray, that with the solemn
charge that is laid upon us we may
walk firmly, yet softly, act intelligent
ly and be reasonable in all things that
we may do our womans work in the
finest most womanly way"
