National" Ben Hur."

Nat10nal-'6eu-H ur.
Since "Ben-Hur'' was presented IN
Washington three years ago, II has
toured America from Bangor, Me-. to
San Francisco, Cal, and everywhere
has been received as a great and real
play, the same as New York and Lon
don Endorsed it. Scenic AFT has done
much for this drama There Is The desert
with its mystic pail where the Star
Of Bethlehem is discovered by the
Wise Men: the house tops of Jerusalem
seen from the roof of Hur's palace, the
gloomy interior of Roman galley, the
enchanted Grove of Daphne. the lake IN
the Orchard of Palms, the rocky Vale
Of Hinnom. and the splendid Mount OF
Olivet, wher3 the presence OF the Saviour
is indicated by q powerful shaft Of
white light.
The chariot race in itself is a faci1at-
ing marvel in stage craft. Before ones
eyes, characters with eight horses
abreast race in the arena of Antioch at
full speed, with a device SO skilIfully
planned, that the delusion is complete
even to the very clouds of dust which
rise from the course and the clatter of
the horses hoofs on the hard, sun
baked roadway.

at the National Thater.

Laws against nepotism in educational
patronage have been passed, and thus a
beginning has been made in the removal
of corrupt and debasing influence upon
education. This is an incident In the
divorce Of public education from politics
AN end most devoutly to be desired
Perhaps the most encourag ing single
element of progress is found in the for
nation of local and State organizations

asserted itself and the new ideals of
