In a recent letter from Naples, Blanche
| Walsh describes a performance of "Quo
Vadis' she saw there, presented by q
company from the ManzOni theater in
Rome. The last play she Witnessed in
America was "Quo Vadis," 50 h was
well equipped for comparison. In the

years. writes Miss Walsh, while in the
Italion version he appears at least 40.
| Why? The historical facts are that Ne
70 was born in the yea 81 A. D. The
burning Of Rome took place in 81, when
he was q year of age. What is the rea-
son for making an elderly man of him?
From a psychological standpoint, crime

preston of the passions usually do 50,
mot their outlet. This was the ONE point
not in strict historical accordance in the
italian production" Equally pertinent
questions of a similar chara cter could be
asked in reference to histo1 cal lapses
noticed in many productions.
