The Four Hcrsemen of the Apocalypse, the picture being shown at the Dream Theatre next Tuesday and Wednesday. is one of unusual merit. Adapted from the widelyread novel by 1banez. Some idea of the magnitude of this picture may be imagined from the fact that over a year and half were consumed in it's pro duction: 125.000 tons of building material went into miles of set tings. 15,000 actors appear in scenes of massed action which fourteen assistants co-operated with Rex Ingram the Director in pro- ducing this marvellous picture.
 The producer bent every effort to make the picture genuine and realistic in all respects: col lection of art treasures, valued beyond price, was used in the handsome interior settings. The insurance alone on these, art works amounted to s375 900. The cast includes many notable actors and actresses.
