The presentation of "Quo Vadis necessarily calls for a large cast and elaborate scenic efforts, both of which Mr. Mulvey assures us will be seen in the coming production. In striking contrast to Quo Vadis will be A Homespun Heart, which begins Thursday night and rounds out the week. The story of the play is poetic, with the sweet home life of the farm.

Here is a good story by the Chicago correspondent of the Dramatic Mirror: George Ade, the Chicago man who writes the Fables In Slang, hails from Indiana, which he has said Is a State which a man should never go back on or to. The other night he met an Indiana woman who asked him if he had ever noticed how many bright people come from Indiana; "Yes, he replied, and the brighter they are the quicker they come. Mgr.

The toilers became restive; then abusive; mutterings grew to open rebellion, and there was an ugly feeling shown on all hands. Matters finally reached a climax, and one day a committee was appointed, to be aided and abetted by a rope, if needs be, to see Mr. Young. Mr. Young had been seen before; therefore the "exhibit A the rope. The call was informal. It was not a affair.

That being the case, it is hardly probable that the church would take him up now, when the quorum refused to do so, and eve.i while his illustrious father, who had great hopes for John W., was yet alive and doing very much as he pleased In his church, at least in this neck of the woods. John W. has been virtually absent from Utah for eleven years. During that time things have changed considerably, In religions, though not, it would appear from a recent suit filed against him in court, in legal aspects. Among the most bitter opponents to his aspirations if he has such as have been outlined will be those who fought and beat him in the days gone by those who know him and when he had, at least to all appearances, his father with him. apos-tlesh- ip BANDMASTER JOHN HELD. sun-kiss- ed , JOHN W.
