Quo Vadis?
During the latter years of the reign of the tyrannical Roman emperor Nero, Marcus Vinicius, one of Nero's officers, falls in love with a young Christian named Lygia, attempting to enslave her. Lygia's protector, the noble and burly Ursus, works to save her from Vinicius' clutches. Pursuing Lygia, Vinicius finds himself at a catacomb prayer meeting led by the apostle Peter and finds his conscience stirring-- just as Nero orders Rome burned. A landmark in epic film, Enrico Guazzoni’s grand-scale masterpiece laid the foundations for what colossal Italian spectacles would become. The film had tremendous influence on Giovanni Pastrone’s Cabiria (1914) and D.W. Griffith’s Intolerance (1916).

After Lea receives an invite to go skating, her parents lock her in her room and forbid her from going, but that doesn’t stop her. She dons her skates, catapults out the window onto an unlucky pedestrian, and makes her way to the rink where she runs into, over, and under every skater in her path.
A Lively Day Off
Two Merry Jokers get "caught with the goods." Leah and Lizette receive notes from their respective admirers, who wish to arrange a holiday party. Leah suggests that the three come to her house and have a jolly time. The two sweethearts, Tony and Fritz, are married men, Tony being Fritz's father-in-law. Each leaves home in the morning, claiming to have an important engagement for the day. Fritz arrives first, with parcels of good things to eat, and Lizette and her friend Tony arrive soon after. The scene which follows may be better imagined than described. However the two men pledge secrecy, and the party proves a huge success. An unexpected sequel follows the next day, for the wives happen to make purchases at the millinery shop in which the girls are employed. On delivering the hats, Leah and Lizette meet their sweethearts and learn that they are married men. Accusations, excuses and a general scrimmage follow. In which the husbands certainly "get theirs." —Moving Picture World
