The Geo. Kleine production of "Quo Vadis" will be the attraction at the Illinois theater tomorrow afternoon for four1 days, with matinees dally. The entertainment covers two hours and fifteen minutes. Women and children are particularly interested in "Quo Vadis."

It has a wonderful appeal to all society and is doing a remtrkaWe business.
