THEATRICAL NOTES.
GEN. wALLAcE's AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

To the many personal friends, &C
quaintances and admirers of General
Lew Wallace, the announcement that
his autobiography has just been placed
on the market by Harper & Bros. will
be of interest With a dramatized YER
sion of his THE Prince of India" oc-
cupying the attention of New York
and "Ben-Hur" that of Chicago at the
Auditorium theater. this interest is
accumulated. The last years of Cen
eral Wallace's many-sided career were
spent in the preparation of his re-
markabIe story, under the old beech
tree at his home in Charlottesville,
where "Ben-Hur" was written, the
General transcribed his career on the
diverse fields of arms, letters, politics
and diplomacy. The book is rich in
Renaissance, several chapters being
devoted to his literary labors, in which
he recounts how Ben-Hur"-the book
which has been read by an innumerable
company and the drama which has
been witnessed by more than five
million people came to be written and
later dramatized. The story is a force
full presentation of the man himself,
an intensely individualistic character
and one of the most picturesque per-
sonalities of our times.

utely perfect in the matter of detail,
they are feasts for the eye. The large
company comes in for it's share of the
general result and admiration. for it is
not case of simply Girls Girls"
Girls, but a large aggregation of
choral artists, who seem to consider
their work of as much Importance and
who labor as hard and faithfully as
does the star.
Taken all together "Happyland" is
one jingling ripple of genuine enjoy
ment and the announcement that on
the forthcoming visit last season this
company, which practically remains in
tact, will again portray their respective
assignments, is welcome news indeed.

bids fair to prove the most successful

Biblical romance. AS presented at the

the most impressive demonstration of
spectacle. It is the seeming culmina
ton of all the possibilities of theatre
cal mechanism and efrects-the final
word in lighting, the management of
stage crowds and the arrangement of
stage illusions Because of the spa
ciousness and character of the house,
'Ben-Hur' at the Auditorium assumes
a heightened dignity and religious at
mosphere. Nowhere else is there so
great an organ TO lend the beauty of
its tones to the magnificent musical
settings that Edgar Stillman Kelley
has given the Wallace play. And no
where else could that great and thrill
ing chariot race be run with five four
horse chariots.
Before it was transformed into play

ton of almost all the reading world.

oriental trappery and splendor of the
gorgeous cast is one Of the most elab-
crate spectacles ever staged. and yet
the appeal of General Wallace's re-
ligio historic romance is not to the eye
and the ear alone, but to the heart.
Through all the scenes of wondrous
beauty. through the vivid portrayal
of the exciting incidents Of the dawn
Of Christianity. the plain, simple story
of The Man Of Calvary is brought
home with all-compelling force The
Star of Bethlehem, the alteration Of the
Wise Men, the heart-throbbing tale
of the meeting of Christ with Hur, the
greetings of the great multitude on the
Mount of olives and the final miracle
Of the cleansing of the lepers-these
are some Of the incidents of Ben
