"THE FOUR HORSEMEN."
Star's Epic Film.
An epic tale of surging passions sweeping from the wide plains of the Argentine, through the fascinat- ing frivolities of pre-war Paris. into the blazing turmoil of the German invasion of Northern France, will be unfolded on Monday at the Star Theatre, Kowloon," in "The
the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse," the remarkable picture which just recently has had such a phenomenally successful ran in London.
It is, of course, a film version of the widely read novel of the same name by Vicente Blasco Ibanez.
The dramatic fores of the original story is intensified on the screen and with sure strokes is sketched the terror and the grandeur of war and a great deal of the bumour and light-hearted gaiety that kept bubbling up through the turgid stream in which humanity struggled when the world was in arms. The director. Mr. Rex Ingram, has succeeding in concentrating the struggle in a serica of unforgetable pictures that make one see above it the awesome figures of the four". borsemen-Conquest, War, Famine and Death-prophesied by St. John # in the "Book of the Apocalypse. Through it all is the deeply human, moving spectacle of intensely; real people in their based attempts to readjust themselves to the demands of war days; and the war is realised with a greatness of imagination that dwarfs previous attempts. It is the fulfilment of the promise of n' noble art in motion pictures.
