THE FOUR HORSEMEN (1921) 117 Valentino, born and educated in Italy, came to America in 1913. Working at whatever odd jobs he could find, he finally became a dancer in vaudeville and cabarets. In 1918 he reached Hollywood, where he got a chance to play extra parts and, eventually, minor leads. Miss Mathis' selection of him to play Julio in The Four Horsemen was a stroke of casting genius. He was Julio, to an extent that even Ibanez could hardly have foreseen. In all three phases of the character— the dashing young Argentine horseman, the tango-tea habitue, and the mature patriot —his colorful personality, grace, and forcefulness were irresistible.
