The Most Impressive Scene Ever Esacted
In a Stage Drama.


The scenes OF VII scenes in the
great religious drama "Ben- Hus," Is
the miracle on Mount Olivet, With
which the performance terminates.
This final scene in the drama shows
the reunion Of Ben-Hur, his mother
aud hls sister, after The passing Of
Christ into Jerusalem. The mother
and sister OF Hur who were stricken
with leprosy, have been cleansed by
the Nazarene, and they are surrounded
by The wondering multitude, who sing
praises to Jesus Of Nazareth.
In this incident of the drama Christ
does not appear as a personality.
The curtain rises on the gathering Of
tie multitude who come out OF
Jerusalem to worship Him, waving
branches of palms and singing
anthems. The lepers appear, guided
by Amrsh, the faithful servant Of the
House of Hur, Christ passes higher up
the Mount. The afflicted ones raise
their hands TO Him In supplicatlon and
a great shaft q wondrously
brilliant light, suggestive Of His
presence, falls on their heads and they
are healed.
