Qin^-VADIS,” coming to the
Broadway Theatre May 7-8-9, is
the subject of considerable discus

One View printed the rather in
teresting New Yorker review on it,
plainly labeled as the most un
sympathetic of any available.
Quo Vadis is the story of the
early Christians ijj Rome. I have
seen many pictures based upon
some phase of the Christian faith

the story of the planting in the
of Him who died
and denied it. He tells those Chris

meant suffering and death. Peter
went back. As they led him out to
be crucified, he begged for no
