‘4 HORSEMEN’ BEGINS SECOND WEEK AT OHIO (Continned From Page Seven.) contain both comedy and the more serious film offerings. -I- -H -I"FOTTR HORSEMEN” BEGINS SECOND WEEK AT OHIO. Rex Ingram’s production of the Vincente Blnsco Ibanez novel, “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,” will be continued for another week as the Ohio’s featrared attraction. The augumented I orchestra and the singer will also con- j tinue with their musical interpretation ; of the picture. •pdoiph Valentino, although not billed the star, appears to be the chief ob- ; ject of interest—at any rate, he is. the : central figure of the story. In the role ' of Julio Desnoyers, grandson of the disappointed Madariaga, a South American j rancher of much money and few morals, i he Is reared to manhood as a youthful \ libertine, reveling in the pursuit of wo- j men. In company with his grandfather, ! the two make a worthy pair in the tango places of Buenos Aires where their adventures are many. Later, the Desnoyers family goes to Paris, and here Julio again sets about at his conquests of women, this time as a gentleman should. His remarkable dancing brings him many laurels, and a woman who Is destined to become a great factor in his life. Tchernoff, a seer of mystic visous pertaining to the symbolism of Apocalyptic horsemen, stands out in the narrative as another powerful character. Marguerite Laurier, whose part is portrayed by Alice Terry, is the woman who finally wins the true love of Julio, only to be dishonored and disgraced by her jealous husband. Other central personages Include the two Germans, Otto Von Ilartrott and Karl Von Hartrott and Julio’s father who regrets the great mistake of his youth. Joseph Swickard, Nigel De Brulier, Virginia Warwick, Alan Hale and John Sainpolis are some of those In the cast who portray these parts. -I- -i- -1NEGRI’S LATEST TO BE AT ALHAMBRA. Paramount’s second production starring Pola Negri, the brilliant Polish will be on view at the Alhambra IQprt week. It is called “The Red Peacock.” The 6tory Is said to remind one of “Camille.” “The Red Peacock” presents Mile. Negri as Vlolette, a frail young woman whose dmpken stepfather forces her to sell flowers on the streets to supply him with the means to continue his dissipations. Following an automobile accident Vlolette Is taken to the apartment of Flora Lavalle, sweetheart of Alfred Germont, a young playwright. This proves to be her Introduction law* a gilded circle where she lives a vicarious existence In which love, joy, sadness and tragedy have their innings. Following the custom that is still largely in vogue across the waters the riilmes of the members of the supporting cast are not revealed, but the company Is made up of the best of European screen artists, the picture being produced In Europe under the direction of Paul Stein. The settings are massive. Completing 4he program there will be the Fox news weekly and a Harold Lloyd farce, “Back to the Woods.” -I- -I- -IrLAYERS HANDLE DOG TEAMS IN SNOW STORM. Driving half-wild malemute dogs, with a strong strain of wolf in' them resulting from deliberate breeding for endurance In pulling heavy sleds at high speed over great distances, is no simple task, even for the skilled “mnsher” of Alaska. Far more difficult is it for motion picture actors, no matter how well they may be In many difficult Bpivities. - r wo actors in "Shame,” the spectacular William Fox special which op, ns Sunday at Loew's State, were obliged to learn the difficult art of dog driving, besides engaging In fights with wolves. These actors were John Gilbert, who plays the leading part of DaVid Fielding, and William V. Mong as the faithful secretary who takes Mrs. Fielding to Alaska In search of her husband when a hideous misapprehension drives him to separate himself .from civilized society Doris Pawn as Mrs. Fielding, occupying one of the dog sleds, played a passive part, but one by no means free from danger. There were several upsets of the sleds before the actors gained sufficient proficiency in controlling the dogs; but the action was caught at last In flawlessly realistic fashion. -I* *l* *l* “WHITE HANDS” NEXT OFFERING AT ISIS. An extraordinary way for the villain to meet his death Is provided in “White Hands,” a big drama which will be the attraction at the Isis next week. Leaping from a ship’s mast Into the*’ocean, he Is seized and dragged under by a huge, man-eating shark. Jnst how this clever bit of realism was accomplished Is not revealed, but it all happens In plain view' of the spectator, and 'is without doubt ens of the most remarkable scenes ever incorporated into a photoplay. . “White Hands” was written by C. Gardner Sullivan. It is a vivid story of the great Sahara desert and the roman- • North African coast. Bobart Bos)rth is starred in the role of Hurricane Hardy, a ruthless, hard-hearted, two-fisted sea captain who journeys into the desert country In search of treasure and finds a beautiful American girl, the sole survivor of a missionary band that had been wiped out by disease. Coveting the girl he disguises his real character in an effort to win her affection. On reaching the coast he finds a rival In Leon Roche, a lecherous half breed. The two engage in a fight for her pos-

the most-popular girl of the village. Boys’ life, so accurately pictured by Mr. Tarklngton, has been transferred to .the screen with such accuracy that the average man o.' today can see himself as he was. The cave scene where the society organized by the boys as a protection against their “enemies”—father, .mother, the policeman and all their elders who Interfere with them—will recall many happy hours spent by the grownups In just such a “secret chamber.” * The show in the barn Is a chapter from every boy’s life. Tbe tough boy of tpe town “wh> makes ’em eat dirt” was the bane of our life only yesterday. Perhaps few Incidents of the film year have been as widely heralded as the making of this picture, recording the i first time that Mr. Tarkington's ebar- | acters have been welded into one comi pleto screen story. Here in Indianapolis |it is bound to attract unusual attention, i because it is the home of the author of .-the stories. The characters are Indian- ; npolis boys, now grown into manhood.

Having scraped together a smalamount of capital they purchased the film j rights to ihlwin Milton Royal’s play, “The Squaw Man.” • So far as is known, this is ths first Instance on recoW of the purchase of rights to a play or story for the screen. Going to California, Mr. Lasky and

his associates made “The Squaw Map” with BtJstln Farnum in the stellar role. Many Interesting anecdotes are told of the difficulties of financing and refinanclg which the young men experienced before the picture finally reached tire market to reap and harvest alnidst undreamed of. The Lasky studio, Paramount's huge West Coast production center of today, was built around the crude little building where “The Squaw Man” was filmed. The present plant affords more than twenty-five times as much door space, covering two city blocks In Hollywood, while the’nearby Lasky ranch of 1.200 acres, afford a “wide variety of scenery for exterior backgrounds. To Hollywood at about, that time went also other producing organizations, among them tha Oliver Morosco Photoplay Company and Bosworth, Inc.
