The CoIumbia-"Quo yndis.v

Stanislaus STANCES dramatization of
Quo Vadis," as produced by Messrs
Whitney & Knowles. will come to the CO.
lumbia Theatre next week, and the sale of
seats will commence this morning. 1t is
needless to refer to the great success that
the piece made in this city last year. or the
long runs that it afterward enjoyed in
New York and Boston. A new produc-
ton was given it recently in New York
at the Academy of Music. and this will
be brought to this city next week intact.
The new settings of the piece come from
the London Adelphi Theatre, where the
scenic effects were made by some of Eng
lands best known artists, while the cos
tunes were also made in England by
some of the noted houses of London and
Berlin.
What will give added interest to the
performance is the fact that Joseph Ha-
worth, Edmund d. Lyons, and Roselle
Knott will again be seen in the roles of
Ninicius, Nero, and Lygia, respectively,
which they originally created.
This presentation of QUO Vadis'' can
be said to be one of the most popular
attractions before the public at the pres
ent time, and the reason is apparent.
Stanislaus STANCE has embraced in his dra-
matization of SienkiewicZ's widely read
work enough material for a dozen urdi-
nary plays. AS was seen here last year.
1t is remembered that it has the elements
of comedy, tragedy, mirth. and melody,
and from a scenic viewpoint it stands al
most alone The settings which have been
so lavishiy given it by Managers whitney

The Lnfayette-"A Social Highway
man,


The Lafayette Stock Company has in
rehearsal for the coming week drama
of modern society. "A Social Highway
man" This is a play that has stem but
one Washington production, having been
played here by the Holland brothers dur
ing their starring season. 1t will be put
on at the Lafayette by special arrange
ment with Mr. Richard Mansfield, who
owns the American and European rights
to the play.
The Social Highwayman" is a return
to the class of society dramas in which
the Lafayette Company has already
proved itself very capable. and will be a
marked contrast 10 I'm MizGousa." 1t Is
a society play that, while laid in the most
exclusive circles of New York society, is
so replete with action and thrilling situa-
lions that 1t may be said to almost bor-
der on melodrama. The story was told
originally in Elizabeth Phipps Train
novel of the same title and afterward
dramatiZed by Mary Z. Stone. Unlike tine
work of most women dramatists, Miss
Stones work has the conference and con-
vincing qualities that go TO make up a
good play. The plot deals with the ex-
ploits of Courtice jeffrey, one of the
cleverest crooks ever portrayed on the
stage Born with instincts and aspira-
tons that fit him for the best society. he
phys his trade of highwayman from with
in society rather than from without and
becomes the social intimate of the people
upon whom he preyS. He is aided in his
work by his servant, Jenkins Handy, a
common thief, whom he has befriended
earlier in his career, and the dog-like de-
votion of the valet to his INSCRIPTIONS
master forms one of the most interesting
themes of the story. The parts of Jeffrey
and Handy were played originally by JOS

Capt. U. r. Wood of Syracuse, n. Y, is
guest at Chamberlins. Speaking of the
treatment of criminals in prisons, he said
last night: This story is no myth; it

one of the outlying counties passed
through Syracuse on his way to Roches-
ter to deliver at the penitentiary there
two young tramps, who had been convicted
of vagrancy. Alighting from the train in
Syracuse the trio were waiting at one of
the street corners for an electric car. to
take them to their destination One of the
young scamps, realizing that the Roches-
ter penitentiary was minus a canteen and
its component parts took advantage of the
rush and commotion of that street corner
and slipped off into nearby saloon. The
car came along and the constable discov-
cred. not until then, that he was short one
prisoner. He decided, however. to take
his lone charge to his commitment and
hunt for the fugitive afterward. The No
VeInber winds were blowing; it was cold
and dreary. The fugitive, after having re-
freshcd himself said au revOir TO the sa-
loonkeeper, and was ready to Join his COL
league and guardian. but they were not to

winter quarters regular meals, and COM
Portable quarters during the cold and wet
season vanished like a dream. He finally
decided to go to Rochester and give him
self up to the penitentiary officials. They
refused to take him in without commit
ment papers. and after waiting for six long
and anxious hours his quondans guardian
arrived. and when he saw his prisoner was
SO overjoyed that he shook hands with him.
