QUO VADIS."

In thes5 days of enthusiastic fixas-

deration, delirious descriptions and flagrant fanfaronade It Is difficult to tlnd ufTlciont Impressive adjectives to adequately convey the idea of superiority of a meritorious theatrical attraction. (Some sentence!) The fact Is that "Quo Vadls". which began an engagement yesterday at tho Oliver, is a masterplsce of photo-dramatics and tho best picture of the kind ever seen here. Tho story of tho debauchery of Homo in Nero's time, the persecution of tho Christians by that tyrant and his ultimate downfall ia as familiar as history itself. The photo-play makes an occurato record of these scenes. Tho realism Is wonderful. The staging and grouping of the mobs is beyond criticism and the acting of all the principal roles is excellently done. Tho earlier scenes are gorgeous representations of Nero's court. The love utory of VInitius and Lygia is well told and it holds the attention. Tho burning of tho city is a masterpiece of stagecraft. The only criticism that might be offered is that the most thrilling scenes in the arena, when tho lions enter to devour the Christians, tho rescue of Lygia from the back of the bull by the giant Ursm and the burning of the martyrs, are taken up by explanatory leads and tho pictures aro only given in fiaflhea. Perhaps it has been decided that this is best for the pictured dotails would doubtless bo grewsome. There is a religious atmosphere to most of the scenes that is uplifting and the lesson of self-sacrirtce for faith is an Impressive one. The pictures will bo hero for the balanco of the werlc and well deserve tho attendance they will no doubt attract.

COINS SOME NEW ONES IN COLD STORAGE TALK

Voracious Vultures of tho Market" Attacked In Speech by Tennessee Member.

Ftorage business as such, Mr. McKellar declared: "The drastic features of the bill are only aimed at the corrupt and dishonest, at the gamblers and ppeculators. at the voracious vultures who stand around In the marekt places, and reap where they have not sown and fatten on other people's food. I do not believe any member of this great house will stand up for any such plunderbund of food sharks.' The McKellar bill, which would prescribe both prison terms and heavy fines for violations of its terms, would make it illegal to ship adulterated and misbranded food products into interstate commerce and would limit the periods in which food products may be held in storage without becoming adulterated.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. "Voracious vultures of the market places", and "plunderbund of food sharks", were characterizations applied to cold storage speculators, who corner perishable foodstuffs to boost prices, by Rep. McKellar of Tennessee, when he spoke Monday, championing his bill for federal regulation of the cold storage business. Saying that his proposed legislation

Kerrigan at tho Surprise theater to-j

da. Th's la & three-reel drama, "suggested by Grays Klegy," as appears in the postscript to the title, and this classic poem pupplles many of the subtitles. Mr. Kerrigan plays the lead, that of the dreamer who meets a friend in time to prevent him from attempting to realize his dreams at the cost of his wife's and child's hap- ; plneps. Ho dreams of many careers that of musician, statesman, warrior, captain of finance. lie is turned from his dreams by the argument contained in Gray's- verses -"that the path.s of Klory lead but to tho grave." The friend who convinces him of this truth la a girl with a past, whom h meets in a desert after a narrow escape, from death by thirst. The production is very elaborate, containing a number of very picturesque settings to illustrate tho lines quoted from the Klegy. Tho drama was apparently wrltten with an eye for these scenes, and they aro tho most meritorious part of the play.
