II would scarcely be worth the space
II would occupy to consider "Ben-Hur"
as play. and II is practical certainty
that II the novel had never been written

OF the characters Of novel which they

with the fact that we all like mechan-
ical melodrama, the piece is likely TO
succeed The Costumes are excellent,
rich and in good taste the scenery is
as good as any that has been seen on
an American stage and the production
is handled In wonderfully prompt and
accurate manner. The stage manage
ment, too, on the whole. is quite good,
although the manipulation OF the mob
in some instances falls far below the
high standard which prevails elsewhere
throughout the play Notably Is this
true In the first scene Of the second act
on the galley, where the pirates rush
down into the cabin and overpower the
crew.

'Ben-Hur" was dramatized by Will

Barrett achieved distinction. Mr..
Young's work has been done in a mas

that the gentleman has not made more

either historical or romantic drama, but
that Is not Mr.. Young's fault II is

At Days theater what was formerly
the Lyceum theater stock company is
now appearing in Henry Arthur Jones
four act comedy entitled "The Maneu-
vers Of Jane" Mr.. Jones usually
writes entertaining plays, and this, his
latest effort, is no exception 10 the
general rule. But there are degrees OF
'interestingness," and in that quality
"The Maneuvers Of Jane does not,
from the Jones standpoint, rank abnor-
maly high, AS il usual, too in Jones
play, THE Maneuyers Of Jane" abounds
In bright dialogue and delicate satire,
but even in those respects It is scarcely
up to the Jones standard. The story
is not thrillIngly novel, and yet 1t seems
to me TO read much better than 1t acts.
