Miss Williamson both looked extreme
ly pretty, the former wearing a blue

little blue bonnet faced with pink. Miss

blue hat which was distinctly suited
to her eharmink child-like little face
Mrs. Harkins was very handsome in

hat encircled with pink roses and fin

MANY people appreciated Quo vads as
a book and many people appreciated it
as play" said Mr.. Gale. ''but ! doubt
II either has ever created the impress
sion that the picture play has. Neither of
the Others has caught the old Roman at
mosphere or has had the great actors to
portray the parts, and, certainly the stag
ing couldn't be anything like the picture
play. People often complain at the thea
tres that they do not get the original COM
pany in the plays that are sent south, but
in this case they can be assured that
there was only one company, and they
will see 1t here"
"And the wild beasts-that's bne ques-

managed in the picture? Were they real
honest to- goodness lions, or just make

THE scene in which the lions play the
principal part, called for about 80 OF

piece of stage mechanism that enabled the
producers to arrange that absolutely true
to life. There was a great pit dug in the
arena between the players and the beasts.

the beasts to cross the arena and go near

The sevent of last night of chief
interest to the younger folk was the
dance given by Miss Elizabeth Bowie in
complime mt TO Mr., and Mrs John s.
Marks, hose wedding was one of the
events of the spring.
Miss Bowie entertained at the home
of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. s. j.

pleasure. Only about rs young people
were inch Ided in the invitation list
They inclu ded a few of the younger
married 70 Tx, the members of the
Marks-P Perry bridal party and the Wis
iting girls--a personnel particularly
interesting just now because of the
almost unpn ecedently attractive visit
ing girls.
The large lawn which surrounds the
house was di mly lighted at intervals
with Chinese lanterns, and the camp
chairs and alR of the porch furniture
from the residence made it a favorite
retreat during inhermissions. The large
porch suggested AN outdoor living
room, with rugs spread over the floor
and the chairs. settees from the in
teyiof arrangedi in most inviting fash
ion.
In a corner was stationed a punch
table and a re- freshing iced drink was
served through out the evening. Sand
witches and ices composed the refresh

And during that time the actors lived
practically as they do in Oberammergau
when they take part in The Passion
Play"
Wasn't Is months a very long time
for the productions" l inquired.
You know the Germans have an old
proverb," Mr.. Gale quoted, "Gut Ding
will Weile haben'-meaning Good
things must have time'-and another
that tells us that What takes a long
time turns out Well This might be
easily applied to the production of
Quo Vadis.' In the first place. the old
Roman environment. the quaint old
palaces, the arenas, and the streets had
to be found and modelled for stage use
before the picture could be made The
old palace where much of the scene is
laid cost $4,000 Just to be put in condi-
tion so the picture could be staged. 1t
was literally falling down, you might
say, with age and decay The arena
where the Christians were thrown be-
fore the wild beasts is absolutely re-
production, as it stood in the days of
Nero when the golden atmosphere of
Rome was permeated with the infiu-
ences which afterward made for it's un-
doing. This arena is still in use, the
chariot races being held there, that be-
ing almost the only one of the old
customs that now exist"
I'm those wonderful scenes-the
burning of Rome, graphically de-
scribed by SineSiswicz in his book, how
were the requisite number OF people
gotten together" | asked.
There are 10000 people in the pic
ture,' said Mr.. Gale. You can imagine
/ the time and expense and the thought
that was rquired to perfect all these
details. Sixteen thousand costumes had
ma 10 a, a1f
toga Is very simple garment it re-
quired time to make such number of
them"
What exactly did the making of the
picture cost?' / asked
"One hundred and fifty-four thousand
dollars in our money!" was the reply.
About double that amount in Italian
money. For instance, the supernumer-
aries in Italy are paid $3.50 day, while
in this country they receive only about
so cents a day."
Usually dramatized novels are so dis
appointing" | suggested. II recall when
/ saw the play made from Quo vadis,
just after I'd read the book The actor
who took the part of Ursus was a little
tiny man who was anything hut what
you would picture in your mind as the
great giant Whom Sienliiewicz wrote.'
'One thing you must stop to consider" "
said Mr.. Gale. that in the making of
moving pictures in Italy is under So
ciety called the Cines company, and be-
fore an actor is selected to play any part
he must qualify as a pantominist before
he can work. That assures an audience of
the best talentN as you know there is a
great difference between pantomine and
the legitimate drama Castellani who
takes the part of Ursus, Is an italian
| actor whose name spells fame. He stands
six feet four inches in his bare feet and
weighs $50 pounds. His acting on the
screen is the most wonderful thing / ever
