was to know in later days. But
enough to live on was a fortune to
Valentino in those days.
The picture moved toward COM
pletfcn. It's prospective success
augured well for its hero. If the
picture went over there would be
other hero roles for Valentino.
Then the Fate, which for five
years held the young Italians life
under evil portents. again took a
hand. The picture was tied up by
legal complications. 1T never was
released. Valentines chance as a.
hero had disappeared.
Back to the tiresome, rounds In
small parts, even as extra. Back
to sparring with destiny for meals
and lodging. It was but another of
the big discouragements which
piled up in Valentines first years
in America, any of them large
enough 20 send a less courageous
man in retreat, but none big
enough to daunt this dark-eyed lad
from Castellenata.
Destiny Prepares Career
Even as he weathered his last
great Encouragement. destiny was
preparing a kindlier arrangement
of her cards for him.
Rex Ingram was gathering the
huge cast which was to appear in
1.-THE Four Horsemen of the Apoca-
lypse 1t was to be huge spec
tacle, this dramatization Of the stir
ring novel, and there would be em-
ployment for many actors. 1t was
not intended as starring vehicle
for any, but it furnished the oppor.
tunity for good acting for u great
number.
June Mathis, a talented young
scenarist, who was chosen to adapt
the Ibanez novel for the screen,
had seen Valentino as he worked
under Director Flynn. She had
been particularly taken with the
young Latin.
1t was she, according to Valen-
tino, who secured him the role Of
Julio Desnoyers, grandson of the
Centaur in 1.-THE Four Horsemen."
There is the exact type for
the dashing young Argentine" she
said. He has good looks, fire,
can act and can dance"
Other advisers of Rex Ingram
had other nominees for this i'm
portant part. But Miss Mathis in
sisted. Valentino was the lone
man" for the part. He got it.
Valentino always gave the seen
artist credit for this important step
in his career. Hollywood gossip
told another, story, involving the
love. of one Of the many women
who loved Valentino, and the spite
of another screen actress, lannon's
and tempestuous figure in Holly
wood circles.

AS the picture progressed, Flynn
