Roy Barnes, Lila Lee, Lois Wilson and Walter Hiers head a really excellent cast, , "The Four Horsemen." ' Probably the strongest and most distinguished cast ever assembled for any picture in the history of the screen, is seen in the Rex Ingram production of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," which opens its second week engagement at the Moon theater.

Niegel de Bruiler takes one of the most difficult character parts in the "production. In the role of Tcher noff, the Russian who relates the legend of "The Four Horesmen 6i the Apocalypse," Mr. De Bruiler has created a characterization which stands out t ', Virginia Warwick, a former Mack Sennett bathing beauty, has the role of Chichi, the sister of Julio. Stuart Holmes and Wallace Beery, known to all film fans as the most convincing of screen villains, con tinue their roles as bad men in this production. 1 Jean Hersholt has an important character role as Professor Von Hartrott.

Should a wife accept lavish gifts from her husband as peace offerings after misbehavior on his part? Can a husband, addicted to drink, hope to retain his wife's love after charging that he bought and paid for her and that she is his by virtue of such a procedure? Can a wife's love and self-respect be bought by a man as one may buy a dog or some other domestic pet? These questions constitute several of the vital problems in "Bought and Paid For," featuring Agnes Ayres and Jack Holt, at the Rialto theater this week. In this sfory the husband, a mil lionaire, marries a working girl and lavishes upon her costly sifts. For vs J . . t t r aw m a - - - Hit wife, a woman of fine lenaibili ties. it horrified.
