QUO VADIS ID BE
 FEATURE AT PALACE
To. Be Shown for Four Days
 Only

A new and gigantic production of quo yadis" has just been com pleted and is to sbe shown by First National at the Palace theater be- ginning Sunday night.
 For stupendous size, both in cast and scenes; for supor-thrils and for rare beauty of photography, this film version of the Sienkiewlcz clas- sic Is proclaimed an unequaled mas lerpiece of screen artistry.
 Emil Jannings, noted for his work in Passion, heads the east, which Is said to number more than 10000 men, women and children.
 The scenes, staged in Rome on the actual site Of Nero's tyrannies, are enormous The Palatlne, Circus NaXimus and the Rome itself of Nero's time, half century after the birth of Christ, form the background for tho drama.
 Tho historic debaucheries of Nero and his court and the terrible cruel ties of the despot, as vividly pictured, are tempered by the tender love of the Pagan Vinicius for the beautiful Christian girl, Lygia, and the un- yielding faith of the followers of Peter, the Apostle, even when burn cd at the stake and thrown 10 the lions in the arena of the Circus.
 Jannings. as Nero, has given an even more impressive characteriza- ton than was his in Passion" :" Nero was cruel, lustful, boodthlrsty, always. Yet he was inordinateIy vain. foppish, childish in his self admiration. It was thus that Jan nlngs has portrayed him. Nero, dead .l9a0 years, lives again-on the screen.
 He causes Christians to be burn ed at the stake., as flowers" at his garden party: and hundreds of oth- CTS to be thrown to the lions in the Circus Maximus to appease the pop Nlace for his crime of incendiarism.
 The Keith vaudeville bill will of fer good entertaining acts featuring as the headliner, "Boyd's Revue of l925,' a fine song and dance offer ing with a cast of eight talented girls. Other acts will offer Sadie Banks and Co.,, in a humorops song cycle that is original with its for mer musical comedy star: Gully and Jeanny will thrill the audiences with their sensational offering "On the Etfel Tower;;" and the Guy Bartlett Trio, an excellent offering will prove very versatile with comedy, song and dance featured.

STAGE AND SCREEN

MuHbBtF John ContarlS or the Capitol obviously intends to go through with his 'Taka- Chance Week" program without announce Ing just what it is to be. Asked for his features. he declined to name them specifically other than to say that five headline vaudeville num- bers will be shown each half Of the week and that both feature pictures will be top notchers.
 The one for the first half of the week will feature Gloria Swanson. It was filmed in Paris and intimate views of the home of the original Napoleon, the boudoir of Marie An tionette and other scenes are fea- tured. Furthermore. this feature was filmed in Paris. but whether during GlorIa's recent visit or. at q previous visit, the manager would not state. Thus, we have the star, but not the name of the production.
 Concerning the photoplay for the last of the week the Capitol manager is equally mysterious. He says that the sky will be the limit in thrills, which indicates that the picture may be one with aerial novelties. Warner Baxter, Billy Dove of Peter Pan fame and Douglas Fairbanks Junior will be featured players. The Shuberts announce elaborate productions of "Ruddigore," Pirates of Penzance" and "Pinafore," to fol- low the present productions of '"The Miiado' and Princess Ida"
 "The Knife in the Wall" closed at the Frolic theater last night and opens at the La Sale theater in Chi cago on Monday.
 "Qh, Mamma" comedy with music, adapted from the French of Louis FcrneuII, by Wilton Lackaye, r will open in Boston on May IS. Alice Brady will be starred, and the cast will further include Kenneth Mac Kenna, Edwin Nicandcr, Catherine Willard, Richard Temple and John Cromwell.
 Million dollar movies have be- come ordinary occurrences in Hol- lywood. The big studios have an average production cost around s150.OO0 per movie. Yet there bob up now and again the embryo geniuses who go forth into the hy- ways and byways with a movie camera, a Commonwealth" cast (which means no salary. but a cut of possible profits), and hope in the earnest endeavor to make a suc- cessful movie on the provorbial shoe string.
 Indeed, "Over the Hill" cost only $40,000, "The Miracle Man" cost s100,000, and other great hits were made far under the usual cost of the feature movie.

more elaborate than ever-as befits
the inauguration of the local season
of the only world champion team the
National Capital has ever had-open-
ing games of the past have nearly
always been ceremonious and color
full affairs. AS rule, there has been
large, and, in many instances, a
record-breaking crowd in attendance,
which invariably included number
of persons prominent in civic, military
and official life.
During the more recent years it has
been the custom of the President of
the United States to start the game,
and incidentally the season, by throw
ing out the first ball. Nine games
have been so started. Three were
similarly begun by a Vice President
of the United States. A general of
the Army, a Speaker of the House
OF Representatives and several Dis
trict of Columbia Commissioners have
also inaugurated the local season in
this way.
The first President to open a base
ball season officially in Washington
by throwing out the first ball was
William Howard Taft. This precedent
was set on April IA, 1910, before
crowd of about Is. 900 persons, who
saw Walter Johnson catch President
Taft's toss and then proceed to pitch
one of the finest games of his career,
as the local team defeated the Phila'
delphia Athletics, to 0.
Only one "scratchy" hit was. made
off Johnson and he struck out nine

of that time, was credited with the
hit when he knocked a ball into a
portion of the crowd, which had been
permitted on the playing field.
This game also was noteworthy in
that it was the first opening game
of which movies were made. There
was only one movie camera man on
hand, but his presence was a novelty
and attracted much attention. His
accomplishments We're rated as a

movement of President Taft, including
the tossing of the first ball to Johnson,
and his pictures made a hit with
the base ball loving public.

the game and stayed until the last

This was by far the largest number
of persons that had ever witnessed a
ball game in Washington up to that
time.
President Wilson continued the Gus

The abbreviated season of 1918 was
started officially by District Commits
sioner Brownlow. At that time the
war fervor was at its height, and
there were reminders of the big game
overseas at the opener. An Army ser
geant delivered a stirring appeal for
the purchase of Liberty bonds before
the regular opening exercises. and
thousands of cards, further advertis-
ing those bonds, were scattered over
the field by Caproni biplane dur
ing the course of the game. Several
of the local regular players were al
ready in the Army. but Walter John
son was still with the team and won
over New York, to 3.

The only other Vice President to
open a base ball season was James S.
Sherman, who. tossed out the first ball
to Walter Johnson on April 10, 1912,
the game having been postponed from
the day before because of rain, and
this is the only instance of a local
opening game being postponed since
Washington entered Ne American
League in 1901.
Two years later, Champ Clark, then

tives and one of the most ardent

fashioned under-hand manner, and it
