An advance sale of altogether unusual
proportions Is Indication OF the interest
aroused among local theatregoers by the
announcement that F. C. Whitney's COM
pany viii be seen In Quo Vadis?" next
week at the Columbia. This interest. how
ever, is not surprising for there seemed
every reason to anticipate that any adapta-
ton Of Sienkiewicz's famous novel would
command general attention here and in
New York and London where shortly it is
to be presented. Certainly. the work com
manded that attention in Chicago. where
the run booked was precisely doubled with
out in the slightest degree affecting the
sizes Of audiences. If reports from other
cities may be believed though QUO
Vadis?' is not merely any adaptation. d"
but drama Of thrilling and well-sustained
effect. The version used is by Stanislaus
STANCE, whose long period Of libretto writ
ing must have given him a wide and thor
ough knowledge Of stagecraft Briefly
there is nothing wonderful in the fact that
the piece guaranteed by the excellence Of
its source and endorsed by the best-knowu
critics OF the country, has created a pro-
nounced feeling OF expectation. QUO
Nadis?' is to be interpreted at the Columbia
by cast which is averred to be identical
with that employed during the Chicago en-
gagement. This cast includes many celeb
rifles, among its members being Joseph
Haworth Arthur Forrest. Edmund D.
Lyons Elmer Grandin. Horace Lewis. ".

Mormon counties srse-CasSia, Oneida.

counting Ada, CaSSia and Oneida It is
possible that two or three members of
ths legislature may be elected in the
various counties of the state outside
Of those named, owing to tho extreme
DODulaTit-~ of some candidates. It is
out of the question for the Republicans
to elect thirty out Of the seventy mem
bers of the legislature, even if they
carry the nineteen from the Mormon,

will come to these southeast counties
with eco majority. They should re-
ceive enough in these counties to swell
