A Superb Play Given by Higr Class Artists. Chas. W. Chase's dramatic version of "Quo Vadis,' the masterwork of Henryk Sienkiewicz, the Polish ro mancer, . as presented last , night by Aliden Benedict's company,, ranks as rhe impcrtant theatrical production of not on3, but many seasons. From the first to the last curtain fall there was an '! "arbitrament of elegance" about the play seldom seen. The players wve artists not tyres each of whom h'ad a comprehenSsive idea, not -only of his cr her part, but iii - the wihcle, . the result being a smooth, finished, elegant play.

J. S. Macey had a tfine conception of the part of "Nero" "Bronzebeard." His vocali zation was capital. He Neroized his voice to perfection. . The imitation was excellent. Lauren Reese, as "Petron ius," the -arbiter of elegance, was Apollo-Tike in face and figure. He was an. ideal Petronitis in every look and move. S. Fleming", as the cringing, vengeful, yet repentant," Greek Philos opher, "'ChUo," was one of the strong est characters. He did good work. In William Lee, Benedict : found a fine "Ursus." Hattie Bernard Chase, wiho took the part of "Lygia," the Christian maid) was pretty and graceful, and dis played more than ordinary talent, but she was hardly the idea of a Christian maid cf the Neroian age. - She was co quettish rather than timid and shrink ing. Edwina Oldcastle, as the wily, snake like "Poppoea," gave one, in Qier copception of the part, a good idea of -Nero's heartless wife. John F.
