Robert Taylor And Deborah Kerr Head Cast Of Thousands In M-G-Mis iiQuo Vadis” I

Never in the history of motion oictures has a picture been brought :0 the screen with the breathtaking spectacle, scope, gigantic cast, color and pageantry as that presented in VI-G-M's much-heralded Techni- color production of "Que Vadis,” coming Monday to the Prince Ed- ward Theatre, with Robert Taylor, Deborah Kerr, Leo Glenn and Peter

'Ustinov heading .1 cast of thou- sands. -

Based on the celebrated novel by Henryk Sicnkiewicz, filmed against the grandeur of historic Rome in a prodiguous undertaking which required more than twelve years oi preparation and actual filming, this thrilling drama of the birth of Christianity in a pagan world and the love of a Roman uarrior for a beautiful Christian hostage is un- folded with glittering splendor and tremendous dramatic impact.

Here we have the corrupt and ex- iraagant imperial court of the Em-

Chrlstians as they are torn apart by lions and burned on crosses; and the final gripping climax, in which the Christian hostage, Lygla, is saved from being killed by a fer- ocious bull when her giant body- guard, Urns kills the beast in II blood-curdlliig show given by Nero in the huge Circus Maximus.

The picturc opens with the return of Vinicius (Robert Taylor) to Rome, following his victorious cam- paign in Britain, and his meeting with Lygia tD6DOYhl1 Kerr), young daughter of the late King of Lygla and now a military prisoner, with whom he falls in love. His cynicism in regards to her strange religion of universal love at iirst proves a bar- rier to their romance but he is won over to Lygia's faith after the cruel- ly capricious Nero (Peter Ustlnovl has burned Rome to the ground, in- citing the wrath of the populace. Seeking to make the Christians scapegoats for the fire, Nero has them brought into the Circus Max-

peror Nero brought to life in sccnesl of staggering immensity, with its; imus to be torn apart by the fero- ipectacles of thousands of lI'llll'n-i ciolis lions, and it is at the sugges- ohnnt warriors, led by Marcils Vln- lion of his riitlilcss .viie, Poppaeii, icius, making a trimuphant entry that Lygia, now married to Vmlclus, into Rome along the garlanded Ap- is lied to a stake to be gored by plan Way; the scenes of the popii-l an enraged bull.

spread of Christianity is assured.

The performances in "Que Vadis" are on a par with its superlative mounting. Robert Taylor, in what is undoubtedly the finest. portrayal of his career, gives a virile, iuIl-blood- ed portrait of the handsome and courageous Vinlcius, and Deborah Kerr is equally effective as the love- ly Lygia who turns him into an ardent supporter of Christianity. Peter Ustinov is strikingly vaiii. arrogant and pompous as the fiddl- ing Nero, and aiioiher impressive poi't.rayal is offered by Leo Gelllll as the kindly Petronius arbiter oi, clegance at News court.

Others who stand out in the huge cast include Patricia Laffan as the scheming Poppaca,Finlay Currie as Peter, Abraham Soiaer is Paul, Marina Berti as the slave Ell'l, Enli- ice, Buddy Baer as the brave Ushtls and Rosalie Crlitcliley as Acts.

The picture has been brilliantly handled, both in the sweeping and incisive direction of Mervyn LeRoy and in its eye-filling production de- tails supervised by Producer Sam Zlmbdllst. John Lee Mahin, S. N. Behrman and Sonya Levieii, who wrote the screen play; Miklos Rozsa, created the effective music: and Robert Surtees and William V. Skall, directors of the superb phot- graphy. are also to be congratulat- 61. It will be a. longtime before the screen sees another such prodiiotioii as "Quo Vadis." it is an offering which raises the standards of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and the en- tire motion picture industry to a new high.

continued from pan 1 our main purpose is to care for. train and educate homeless child- ren to become useful, industrious and respectable cltiuns.

"We are fortunate in having our doctors: Tldmarah, Lint: and Hous- ton, also our dentist, Dr. Waye. willing to render lhell'.39fVlClJ so freely, and as 3. result the health of the children has been excellent, no serious ailments or accidents having occurred.

"The school is maintaining its high standard of other years under the direction of Min Beairsto ac- cording to the report of Mr. R. Wilson Ross, Supervisor of Schools, which appears on another page. Musical instruction was rendered by Mr. Frank Johnston and Miss Jane Johnstone (former teacher) who also gave instruction In swim- ming. paddling and other sports which was greatly enjoyed by the children as will be seen in the re- port of our supervisor Miss Mac- Lean. Great credit is due to the Royal Arch Masons in their con- tinued interest in seeing the school is supplied with all necessary equipment.

"The Financial Committee under Mrs. ifs. Henderson has complet- ed her twenty-fifth nsecutive re- port which shows another gratify- ing and successful year. all of which is due to her untirlng energy and determination, which is back- ed up by that grand organization, the Women's Auxiliary, and the many willing workers who give their time so freely collecting funds as shown by the lists published in thc"local papers from time to time.

"The Adoption Committee under Mrs. W. G. Bruce (chairman) plac- ed a number of children in suitable homes where they are happy and being cared for; applications from parties wishing to adopt a chud will be given every,conslderation.

"The Buying Committee made up of Mrs. A. Henry. Mrs. I-I.H. Home and Major T. E.-MacNutt; owing to extremely high prices had to exer- cise great care to keep purchases within our revenue and still pro- vide all necessaries and comforts for the children.

"The Property Committee super- vised by the Chairman Major T. E. MacNutt reports the exterior or the building is in good shape and little expenditure will be necessary this year. The interior has been renovated under the capable man- agement of Miss MacLean and ev- erything is in good order. The grounds have been well taken care of by our caretaker and present the usual good appearance.

"The Endowment, Fund shows an increase this year for which we tire grateful and we trust that it will be kept in mind by friends to in- sure maintenance of this institu- tion in future years.

Annual Meeting Georgetown School

..'Tho annual meeting for Georgetown School District was held in the council chambers on Tuesday evening at 7:00 p.m., June 24th. Mr. 5. C. Knight was ap- pointed chairman for the meet- ing, which waa attended by twenty-one ratepayers. . The first business on the agenda was the reading of the minutes of the last annual meeting by the school secretary, Mrs. W. W. Mac- Lean. Following the adoption of the minutes, the secretary read the correspondence which includ- ed letters and reports from the following: Letter from Dr. L. W. Shaw, Director of Education; lat- ter from the Prince Edward Is- land Federation of Agriculture, re- garding rural electrification and electricity rates; a report from the sanitary engineer on the results of the test given school drinking water, showing no contamination; a report from the Provincial Fire Marshal covering his visit to the school, in which he stressed the co-operation and enthusiasm shown by teachers and pupils, and the efficiency of the fire drill con- ducted during his presence.

The report of the district super- visor was then read, which was followed by the reading of the report; of the Public Health Nurse. Quite a. lengthy discussion took place regarding the letter from the Federation of Agriculture and a motion was passed and will be forwarded to the Federation in the effect that itThe Georgetown School District voices their pro- test against any increase ln the ratio charged for electricity." Mr. Howard Maciiean gave the annual report of the trustees, which was adopted. In the report an expression of sympathy was ex- tended to Mrs. Ashley Allen on the death of her husband, who had served as school secretary at one time. The secretary presented the

”In closing I wish to extend my personal thanks to all members of the Trustee Board for their con- tlnued interest and faithful attend-

the year; also to Mr. Ira Brown who served the board so capably for many years as secretary-treasurer until his retirement: the last of oct- ober. We were fortunate in secur- ing the services of Mrs. A.D. Stew- art to replace Mr. Brown. "W. A. Stewart. f
