DE LUXE THEATRE.

"Charley's Aunt," the admittedly funniest play of the English-speaking stage, is showing this week ;iL the Be Luxe Theatre as a screen picture. The name part is taken by Syd. Ohap,lin, a brother of the famous. Charlie, but whoso humour is of an entirely different character. Supports include: J comedy, scenic, and the usual Topic.) 1 Gazette. Mr. L. D. Austin's large orchestra plays "The Eortuuc Teller" (Herbert) as an overture, "The Cuckoo?.' (Oiensky) as the entr'acte, and incidental music selected from favourite light operas. ' "QUO VADIS." Mimed in 102u and made in the 1925 way, produced on the actual scone of Nero's tryannies in Rome, the new "Quo Vaclis" is described as a stupendous achievement. Based on the historical romance of Henry Sien■kicwiez, "Quo Vadis" was produced in Italy under the direction pf Gabriclle d'Annunzio, and is a remarkably faithful and artistic picturisation of the life of the Bouian nobles in the time of Nero and immediately prior to the downfall of thp Roman Empire. "Quo Vadis'' is a big, gripping film which takes you back to the days of togas. It is a sincere dramatic production, t.hriliingly accomplished. Mob, fire, and arena scenes arc breathtaking, but not too ■horrible. Through the picture enough is left to the imagination, but not too much. 11l size and lavishncss this production is unequalled. One is filled with amazement at the completeness of it all. Prece.ding 'the screening of "Quo' Vadis?' at'thc Dc Luxe Theatre on Friday a brilliant prologue will be presented depicting .the revels of the notorious Emperor iscro?s court. Gcorgeously costumed snd lavishly produced, the prologue should prove an attraction in itself. The box plans are at The Bristol, Aitlien 's Book Arcade, or reservations may be secured bY telephoning the thcatrci" ' '" '■ '^ ;'
