GREAT SPECTACLE DUO vAD|S" |SAT
 STRAND THURSDAY

One of she most important book
 ings of the new season comes in the announcement from the Strand that Quo Nadis' will be the featured pie
 ture for a three days engagement starting Thursday.
 Undoubtedly one of the most mas sive and spectacular motion pictures
 ever made, it is a film that has gained
 in popularity, through memory per-
 haps, for it has been several years
 since George Klein first introduced
 the spectacle to the public.
 Produced from an elaborate seen
 ario prepared from Henry Sienkie- | wicz' world-renowned novel of the
 same name, Quo Vadis'' is an epic of the early Christians which has never been equaled either on the stage or the screen befor the publi- cation of the document which the
Arizona republican., 1921-12-25

Strand will offer for the three days stated above.
 Every element of the production bespeaks massiveness and grandeur. The pageantry and passion of inn perial Rome under the rule of the monstrous Nero is shown in a most amazing manner; the persecution Of the early Christians at the dawn of a new era, the battles of the gladiators in the arena while thousands watched the fray; the bated breath while Nero gave the sign of death-''thumbs down. the great scene in which Ur- sus rescues the girl from the back of maddened bull-action which will positively cause a sensation with its realism and vividness; the intrigues of the royal court. every one seeking the favor of the despot, the mighty Caesar; the jealousy of the rulers wife, "Poppea;" the burning of Rome to provide a theme for Nero's poem, and the great arena scene in which the Christians are fed to the lions.
 Everyone of the scenes in the mighty spectacle is one of the very ultimate, wholesale disregard for expense or effort-a triumph that will endure as long as motion pictures live. The scene of the burning of Rome alone, it is said, surpasses anything
 in the way of a spectacular display ever seen on a motion picture screen.
 This sequence is a long one-every scene a link in a panorama that will astound and enthraH.
 The Strand Is arranging to screen the production without advance in
 prices and is urging attendance dur
 ing the matinee screenings in order l that everyone may be accommodated during the very limited engagement of the masterpiece

LIEUT.. COMMANDER JOHN PHILIP sousA

After 2s years of prodigious travel throughout America, five tours throughout Europe and one tour around the globe, lasting more than a year, directing his wonderful organ 1zation in concert, it might seem that Lieut. Com. John Philip Sousa would be weary of concert giving and of travel of every sort.
 Insofar as the concert giving is concerned, MT. Sousa does not lag or languish in the least. On the con trary, the Sousa concerts-which are distinctive the world over. a type apart from all others-are things of his own creation, ever of pride to himself. He delights in them in so long as the people are delighted in them and clamor for them. It is not

FRANK MAYO BACK AT STRAND TODAY
 IN "GO STRA|GHT"

Frank Mayo returns to the Strand for two days engagement starting today presenting Go Straight"
 Reviewed as one af the strongest of the typical Mayo roles, "Go Straight" adds the force of charac- teriza ton to the picturesque back ground in scenic wonder, and the re- suit is motion picture calculated to please the most exacting.
 The story weaves around a young minister who goes to a Kentucky town, and finds his work cut out for him.
 Reform is needed and needed bad ly, but the town is in awe of the power of the political bosses which holds it in their grip. The mayor, and his henchman-known as Hell fire" Gibbs are the controlling fac tors. Both are pillars in the church Gibbs a self styled evangelism and the two are nothing short of bloodsuckers, trading on the people at every turn-successfully combat ting through terrorizing everyone any attempt to better conditions. A preachers first duty is service and this the young minister real ized. Good roads. lower taxes, schools-a new lighting system. sew eral things were needed, and he uli- dertook to bring about the needed. and at the same time to reform the town and do away with the tyran- nical forces of evil which held 1t in tow.
 Of course he was met by stern op- position. He had to literally smash his way through barrieY after barrier lighting fists and wits-slowly iut forging n ha and then in a climax vividly real, in- cooperating a realistic fire scene, the crux is reached. and the story reaches It's end.
 In striking contrast to the rugged ness and virility of the theme, stands the pretty romance interwoven into the action, balancing perfectlY a mo-

GREAT BARITONE ID
 GIVE RECITAL HERE

Renato Zanelli, the great Chilean baritone, who will be heard in joint recital with Grace Wagner at the High School auditorium July at the third Musical Event is one of the youngest of the leading operatic singers of the day. He is dis tinguished as the possessor of bari tone voice of marvellous beauty and flexibility together with a manly, impressive presence. It is some what rare to find in opera a baritone of the true lyric type, so much de- sired in concert, and this is one of the reasons Zanelli has been hailed with such enthusiasm, by both press and public. His concert appearances have really been in the nature of triumphs.
 Another evidence of the remark able response of the public to the ap- peal of this young artist is the sud- den and strong demand that sprang up for his talking machine records as soon as the character of his work became known. The rapid increase in this demand is both demonstra- ton and a cause of his rapidly in- creasing popularity.

for money alone that Sousa endures the fatigue and deprivations of tra- vel, he finds pleasure and much re- mnueration in the delights he knows he is bestowing as audi ences break into ringing applause ev- anywhere, and demand more. He has often said that the plaudits of an enthusiastic audience are, to him, quite as much a source of palatable reward as are the dollars in the box ofhce-albeit the dollars will pay ex- cessive expenses where the plaudits will pay nothing. Sousa loves his work, else he would not endure it.
 Sousa and his band and special soloists will appear at the Shrine auditorium on Jan. 9 in a program or special interest, under the auspices of the Redewill Music company.
