ppoUR HoRsEN1Es" HERE

MANNINGTON, May 24--Eas-
tern critics have pronounced the
ttFour Horsemen of the Appeal
ypse,' coming to Burt's theater
today and tomorrow, the greatest
and most wonderful picture ever
filmed. 1t is claimed to be far
ah&ad of the birth of a Nation
or any similar picture.
The story is based upon the
prophecy of the four horsemen
found in the book of Revelations,
and is taken from the book OF the
same name written by Vicente
sBlasco Ibanez, a Spaniard.
The picture is supported by an
ali star cast, featuring Rudolph
Valentino, with Alice Terry as his
leading lady. It is a picture filed
with scenes which provoke
Thought, and is one that will be
long remem bered.

NEzPERcE LOSES TWO GAMES.

| The local high school basket bal
team lost both games played, on tn,
first trip of the season. In the Cot
tonwood game Dec. is, the score was
80 to 19 in Cottonwood 3 favor. Only
one of the boys on the home team has
played previous to this season ind as
this was the first trip, lack of exper-
renee on strange floor had much to
do with the playing of the rest Of the
boys. The enthusiasm shown by the
Cottonwood crowd was also great
factor in the victory of their team
for we all know what effect strong
backing has ON the spirit of a team.
On January 5, however, when Cotton
wood plays Nezperce on the local
floor the home boys are determined
to get even with their opponents.
Nezperce lost the game with
Grangeville Dec. 16 by a score of 10
to l3. Although the Nezperce boys
were handicapped by playing son
strange floor and by fatigue of play
ng the previous night, it was any
'ody's game until the whistle blew.
Cottonwood beat by a much greater
margin in the score than Grangevillo
ut it is believed that Grangeville
eally has the best team of the two
owns. Grangeville has already been
efeated once by the Nezperce team
n the home floor.
The team was well treated at both
aces. They were given special treats
three different times in the form or
! oyster dinner and after-game ban
lets.
The men who composed the lineup
r the trip are as follows:
Cook, Ellis, forwards.

includes some right good talent from
which the public expected good re-.
suits, but it is only fair to say the
comments generally heard indicate a
rendition quite beyond even the great
er expectations. A feature of the bill
deserving first-place mention, too, was
the singing between the second and
third acts by Mrs. Terry and Miss
Terry. Their well trained voices
blended beautifully in the popular old |
airs they chose to sing and they were
called back third time, SO pleased
was the audience. Miss Marie Rowe
played the piano accompaniment.
The director of this play deserves
fair share of the credit for the success
