one of the foremost and most radical
leaders in the movement. Afterward
he did much toward making 1t what it
now is, the strongest and most con.

when clothed with power, he recog-
nized the fact that more could be ac-

gressiveness.
AS reward for these labors and to
show their faith in his judgment, and
as tribute to his executive powers,
the members of the brotherhood made
him their unanimous choice for the po-
sition of grand master of the order,
when, in 1873, that office was made va

certainly was the gorgeous spectacular pro-

From the first strains OF that brilliant
overture with its mystical Oriental har-
monies and coorful passages to the final
tableau the audience sat enraptured. 1t

The dramatic features of Gen. Lew

of his story, while the thread OF the mar
ratiye is well preserved. There are stage
pictures almost innumcrable, beginning
with a singularly beautiful and detailed
tableau of the Star in the East and the
three wise men worshipping it in the
desert.
Spectacularlj, the great scene is that
of the chariot race in the fifth act, where

two teams of four horses EACH gallop
madly under the lashes of their drivers.
The whirling reproduction of the excited
throng clustered about the amphitheater
lent a realism to the scene that made the
effect almost perfect With half-shut eyes
one gazing upon it would easily convince
himself that it was an actual race in a
wide arena that he was watching.
From dramatic point of view, as we'll
as from the view point of the artist, the
fourth act is the strongest in the play. 1t
contains two Of the most striking and
beautiful scenes, in setting and appoint
ments, ever seen in the West First of
these is that in the dowar in the orchard
of palms where Simonides and Esther
reveal themselves to Ben Hur as his
slaves, a moment of strong dramatic in
terest. The second is the celebrated lake
scene where Hur temporarily succumbs to
the charms of the fascinating but venge-
full lras.
So much has been said in the press Of
