AMUsEMASTs.
.auo vaai.v open. Tonight.

The dramatic version OF "Quo vads"
which opens for four productions at the
Seattle theater tonight, excites good
deal OF interest. There Is always a sense
OF pleasurable excitement In the coming
Of a new play. especially when developed
from widely read and popular novel.
Scarcely any book of comparatively re-
cent publication has been more widely
read than quo Vadis," and this advan-
tage attracts wide attention to the play.
There is no doubt that an honest effort
has been made to develop the dramatic
value OF Quo vadis' In an entirely ade-
auate and digE.ified manner. Stanislaus
STANCE prepared the play from the orix-
nal Polish manuscript Of Sienkiewicy.
with faithful regard for the meaning Of
the novelist. and the work is coherent
In manner and artistic In FORM. More
than a carload OF scenery Is required to
set the play. and the numerous cos
tunes prepared from authentic models,
add an element OF essential interest to
the production. Music Is also made a
feature and chorus of twenty voices
trained by Julian Edwards. who has COM
posed 4 special score for this play. add
significance to several OF the scenes.
Dancers are also employed TO represent
the coryhantes. and as II 20 make the
success douoiy sure. the speaking parts,
thiriy-two In number, are assigned to
talented persons. many of whom have
won distinction I'm the dramatic field.
Quo vadis" as play and production ia
worthy OF the most thoughtful and iib-
eral attention.
