Quo Vadis'' at the Orpheum is one
of the best drawing cards yet present
ed by the BUTLER company. The seem
| cry is elaborate, in fact 1T would ap-
| pear to advantage on any stage, and
the costumes are excellent. The scenes
| are of the Emperor Nero's time and
| show the burning of Rome the arena
spectacle and Roman villas, while Mr..
Butler is superb in the leading role.
Nero is in the capable keeping Of Mr..
Auerbach. Poppeia the crafty en-
press, is strongly portrayed by Miss
Hayward, while the beautiful charac-
ter of Lygia is admirably sustained by
Miss Fowler. The entire cast is strong,
and tonight the play is presented for
| the last time. 1t is well worth seeing.
