BEEN HUR" ALE THIS WEEK.
 The present indications seem to in dicate both brilliant and highly suc- cessful week at the Hyperion. KlaW & Erlanger's stupendous original pro- duction of Ben Hur," which will occu- py that popular playhouse during the coming six days is recognized every where as the most important production ever made in this country and the ad- vance sale is one that cannot be equal led by any offering now on the Ameri- can stage. Ben Hur" appeals to all, and the audiences that congregate at the Hyperion will be made up of folk who seldom find enjoyment in the offer ings of theater. The big production arrived yesterday over the New Haven road on two special trains one bringing the immense company of principals, choruses, pallets and singers, and the other the seven carloads of scenery, properties, electrical effects and such other paraphernalia as goes to make up the complete equipment of a mammoth spectacle. together with the horses for the chariot race and camels used in the oriental scenes and the Star of Bethle- hem'' incident.
