BILLS OF THE WEEK

, ma in Antioch. The first scene of this
act is laid outside the main gates of
thes%circus. Here the bets are made
between Messiah and Simonides' Sc
cret messenger. The next scene shows
the wonderful race itself between
Mesala, the flower Of the Romans,
and Ben tHur, the Jew. Eight horses
in this race struggle for supremacy.
The wheel Of Messala's chariot is
smashed and Ben -Hur wins the race.
The sixth act, the last and most i'm
pressive of the play, and the one
which has probably had more to do
with the success of the play than has
even the great chariot race, shows
the Mount Of Olives, and the multi
tude Of worshipers of the Nazarene,
whose presence Is indicated by a sin
gle shaft of light. The last scene
shows the meeting of Ben Hur with
his mother and sister,

He has passed almost the whole Of his

The placing of Ben Hur on the stage
In dramatic form was attended with
many interesting circumstances. Gen
eral Wallace had strenuously opposed
any decentralization of his immortal
work. He was unable to see how the
main incidents of his book could be
put into dramatic form. 1t was not
until Klaw & Erlanger submitted the
outline Of their project that the gem
eral was interested. He examined it
and studied it with. exceeding care and
finally gave his enthusiastic consent.
The personality of the Messiah is
nowhere represented in the acting YER
sion Of Ben Hur. References to him
are made. but with the greatest rever-
ence, and the most absolute respect.

tents of the oriental. The great cir
Gus, the mountain tombs and the palm
waving multitudes form a panorama

stage, the following scenes from the
novel are utilized: f. -. w. '..'i't ="
Act first shows the housetop Of the
palace Of Hur in Jerusalem and de-
picts the power, Of Rome over the
countries Of the east = Act second
shows Ben Hur as slave. pulling at
, one OF the oars in the galley. Ben Hur
attracts the favorable notice Of the
Roman tribune, and after q sea fight,
in which the galley Is sunk, manages
to save the life of the tribune. Scene
second OF act second shows the open
sea with Ben Hur and Arrius drift
ing on a broken spar. Their rescue
! by a Roman ship is realistically de-
| picted by the aid Of stage machinery.
! Arrius makes Ben Hur his foster son.
This is all told in the third act, when
Ben Hur comes to the house Of Simo-
hides to learn something Of the
whereabouts of his mother and sister
, There he meets Esther, the daughter
| of Simonides, and they are mutually
attracted. He also learns that Mes
sala has entered the chariot races

Speaking of canals said the en-
gineer who had been talking about
Panama, "a very interesting canal,
and one not much heard Of, is that
connecting the Gulf of Corinth and
the Gulf of Aegina, in Greece. It's
some older than any we have in the
western hemisphere, also, for Peri
ander, Tyrant of Corinth, proposed to
cut thru the isthmus as long ago as
600 years before Christ. Superstition
stopped him, however. julius Caesar
and Caligula took it up again when
Rome had hold Of Greece, but it was
too much for them. Then came Nero,
and he went at it with vigor, but the
work stopped when he died. Others
kept pounding away at it for the next
several hundred years, but it was not
until 1881 that real work of the Nero
energy was put upon it. Then Cen

gave out in 1890, the chief obstacle
being some kind of a flint which dy-
