'""Seattle yesterday endorsed the verdict of the rest of the world
as to the extraordinary merit of 'Quo Vadls,' which opened at The "
Metropolitan yesterday afternoon before a big audience, and last; night
played to absolute capacity. "Clnes- made this film, in, Italy, George
Kleine has exploited it in America, and it has proved a celluloid 'Ben
Hur.' If one-tenth of the biff tcenic effect! of this screen production could be
transferred to the dramatic etage the result would be not one but a dozen 'Ben
Burs' . ,;-;-cv Jyy,.; .jy. J, ' ;; ::
DAZZLING' PAGEANTRY. -'' " , '
'.' 'Quo Vaclis' has set the pace for cinematographic magnificence..:
First of all, it is a great spectacle. It Is regally inspiring in the sweep
of its banquet revelry, -chariot racing; vistas of Roman architecture ,
and gardens and showing the approach of the band of lions to the
kneeling Christian martyrs in the arena. The burning of Rome is a ,
pageant in itself, and the. arena scene shows the many hundreds of
spectators crowding the forms to lend realism to a few brief moments
of the action..':-"... .f;. ' r ;'
POWER OF THE STORY.
,1
"Even with so Ideal a production, however, 'Quo Vadis never
could have obtained the hold on the world it has 1C it had not been
for its gripping story that touches the religious fervor of all Chris
tians. It is of the era that marked the rising of the kingdom of the
true God on the ruins of dying paganism. There are reverent im
personations both of St. Peter and of The Master himself, appearing ,
. in a vision on the Applan Way and bidding His disciple turn back
to serve his cause in the corrupt city, .--.''.':. .'.-.'. ,' : u .:;!
ACTING IS SUPERB. '' '
"The acting of the Italian cast is of the highest order throughout.
The acting of Chllo by Mastripletrl fairly compels mention. It is sim
ply superb. He must surely be rated In his own country as one of
Its leading character actors. Novell!, who looks like Faversham, and
who plays Vinitius, has an international reputation. But the entire
cast is most adequately fitted to its work." From The Times,,

NOTE
Mmuiinv
of Uving
Pend".ot3n,! Janl 27; There are In
dications for good prices for eastern
Oregon wool this spring. The Boston
wool market is active and the prices
reported there range r about . , three
cents per pound above the prices paid
the growers last spring. The freight
rate from Pendleton to Boston " is
$1.55 and a flat rate of f 1 prevails
from Portland to Boston. There are
reports that fine wool in particular
will command higher prices than were
paid; last year, due to the fine wool
bands being reduced. ' i;
That the outlook for wool this
spring is bullish is reported by H. H.
Cohen, commercial editor of the Ore
gon, Journal who had a story upon
the subject yesterday. The follownig
is from the Journal story:
There is nothing in sight but pros
perity for sheep and wool men. There
is every indication that the coming
season's fleece will enter the market
on a better basis than during any re
cent year. There is t very expectation
that prices will reflect this condition
and the demand, promises to be ex
tremely good from the start of the
season to the finish.
In the first place there was not the
slightest excuse for the ' low values
that ruled in the wool trade during
the last season. While in some quar
ters here was more or less doubt as
to what effect the new tariff ; bill
would have, still this- was of minor
consideration in the naming of prices.
There was r.o reason, aside from
the greed of milling interests, - why
American wool prices should rule pro
portionately lower during , the : last
season than did the fleeces of other
countries. Everywhere throughout
the. world's trade, with the possible
exception of the United. States, the
best prices for many years : ruled.
London wool prices were extraordin
arily high; in fact, so high that quite
a few sales were made in American
markets for the account of English
milling interests. This was the most
unnatural condition that might be ex
pected.
From all the leading wool produc
ing countries of the world, word has
come of a big decrease in the hold
ings' of mutton during the last two
years. "While the decrease in sheep
holdings last season was much larger
than' had been generally expected, it
is stated that on January 1 the total
number of sheep in the world is fully
10 per cent smaller than a' year ago.
This means but one thing a small
er output of fleeces.-: Last year's clip
of wool was the smallest for many
years and with a further decrease of
10 per cent in the output, it is sure
to create a sensation in the trade.
