snappy; it's situations piquant without be-
ing vulgar. and its climaxes are said to be
of the most thrillingly ridiculous charac-
ter. The company with which Mr.. Beres-
ford has surrounded himself ranks as one
of the best now on tour. The engagement

extravaganza, THE Land OF Nod" comes
to the Boyd theater for a return engage
ment. When this company visited Omaha

At its best, ben Hur" is melodramatic.
The intense dramatic situations possible
are subdued in interest of spectacular ex-
hibitions, and slight tribute is paid TO the
intelligence OF the people by the accentua-
ton of the chariot race and similar incl
dents rather than an exploitation of the
ethical difficulties presented. Balthazar
and Simonides represent the ethical and in
tellectual phase of the play, while Ben Hur
and Messiah, Esther and Iras embody its
