Ursus. There they were blocked. In all

that he had reputation all over South

The CiRes Company made CasteIlani a
hattering offer for his services for one
year and put him under the direction Of

months. In the photo-drama his per-

program Of the rehearsal
This scene of the lions illustrates the
advantage of the camera over the ordi-
nary theatrical production when it comes
to spectacular effects. 1t would be i'm
possible to show this scene on the stage,
but the camera can SO deceive the eye
that it is impossible to distinguish be-
tween the Illusion and the actual. The
lions used for the scene belong to a
party Of lion tanners. some OF whom were
in the group of people to be "devoured." ."
While some Of the tanners drove some of
the lions forward, being themselves out
\ of the range of the camera, other tanners
stood in the group. ready with revolvers
to frighten the beasts.
According to the present program, "Quo
Vadis?' will be followed by other his
torical plays Of Greece, Rome, England,
and America, particularly Revolutionary
days. 1t is believed that in this way
children will learn more OF history than
they possibly could from the reading Of
any book.

Some up-to-date philosopher with a
taste for epigram has called the moving
picture "the marriage of the camera to
electricity" Possibly this phrase might
have conveyed its meaning more clearly
II the movies had been characterized
as the offspring Of this union.
1t was only two or three years ago
when the word production as applied
to a moving picture spectacle would have
been regarded as a misnomer. The term
was one which could be used only in con-
nection with a sparkling musical comedy

the patience and the eyes Of the spec
tator.
In Quo Vadis?" however, not only the
mechanical process has been perfected,
but the plane of the production reaches
a dignity and impressiveness that make
the really universal appeal which it is
contended that real drama should make.
The "Quo Vadis?" TO be presented at
the Columbia Theater, however, is more
than a mere dramatization of Sienkie-
VICES novel. That was dramatized once
before, and while it was a great popular
success it would be impossible to put on
any stage in any Iheater such a spec
tacle as it flashed upon the screen. No
stage would be large enough to show the
picture, and the wonderful illusions would
be impossible. In the movies" you see

audience have tainted as they saw the
lions springing upon their human prey.
No theatrical producer, even such a
wizard as Belasco. could hope TO produce
such effects as the camera furnishes in
this latest reproduction of the story OF
Nero's time.
For nearly a year before the play was
produced"-that is, before it was acted
before the camera-nearly two hundred
and fifty persons were employed daily
in cutting the cloth and sewing it for
the costumes. Ancient records had to
be consulted in order to get the correct
cut The oldest libraries in Rome were
visited by modistes and tailors, who
copied the crude pictures Of Roman war
riors. courtiers, Senator's, and the popu-
ACE. The cloth itself was obtained with
great difficulty from some of the most
famous looms of Europe.
Those who have seen the production
have spent no little time in wondering
as to how it was possible to obtain the
pictures Of the lions, which are shown
a descending upon the defenseless Chris
tians and devouring them. The Illusion
