Rudolph Valentino in all his romantic glory; the Jean Hersholt, the Alan Hale, and the Wallace Beery of another day--all these familiar or renowned figures presented themselves to 700 members of the Film Society who attended the showing of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" at the New Lecture Hall last night...

At the Palace, Cinemactor Jean Hersholt lugged his bags down eight flights to the lobby, where he was met by the manager with a handtruck. Best prepared for the emergency was the Metropolitan Opera's Tenor Nino Martini. Gallantly manning an elevator, he explained that he had learned how during New York City...
