SCHLAPPICH M any years ago, when Rome was young, there fought, O n the bridge that spanned the yellow Tiber's banks, T hree whose names have since with golden song been wrought I nto deathless fame in the Immortals' ranks. 0 f Horatius, of his comrades, of his day, N ow we learn by special feature Photoplay. P ictured as in the heroic days of old, I n that fight against thrice thirty thousand odds, C almly on the screen the battle we behold — T hus he met them, for his country and his gods. U nto us a wizard gave this keen delight, R eady ever to instruct us day or night, E very time we go to see the pictures bright. M arvelous scenes and feats of arms of ages past, A 11 that lives a deathless life in tale and song, G reet us from the MOTION PICTURE screen at last A nd delight and educate a mighty throng. Z ealous for a deeper knowledge of this art, 1 n these pages now before you you can find N ews and stories of the plays, and every part, E ach a leader and the best one of its kind. 28
