STAGING OF "DEN-HUR.-

Time i'm New York Nov. 20.

KIaw & Erlangers spectacular produc-
ton of General Lew Waliace's "Ben-Hur,
will be presented for the first time at the
Broadway Theatre in New York, Nov. %.
Preparations for this really extraordinary
effort have been in progress for nearly
year. Those familiar with its elaborate de-
tails have no hesitation in saying that 1t
will completely eclipse anything ever seen
In the theater, either in this country or
abroad.
For several years unusual inducements
we're held out TO General Wallace TO infiu-
ence him 10 permit his book TO be drama
tised. but he steadfastly refused. He could
not see how justice could be done the story
without introducing the sacred personality
of the Nazarene in the dramatic version,
to which he was most unalterably opposed,
and unless the chariot race were pre-
scented as a practical reality. 1t remained
for klaw & Erlanger 10 submit TO him for
consideration a scenario which included all
the principal features OF the tale, emitting
the Messiah except by suggestion. and
mechanical solution OF the difficulties of
presenting the chariot race with realistic
fidelity. All the objections he had raised
were overcome. he signed q contract per-
hitting the use of the story for stage
purposes, and to-day the projectors of this
enterprise are not more enthusiastic than
he over the prospects of success.
In making their preparations for this pro-
duction. the managers called TO their aid
the ablest corps OF exDerts TO be had in
this country and Europe including the
dramatist. the master of music, the scene
painter. the historical costumer the archaic

&c version OF the story OF "Hen-Hur' is by
