This is the same stupendous pro-
duction that took the town By storm
three seasons ago. Its revival has en-
listed a number OF the original cast

quite on par with that or the original
company. Chorus and supernumerary
corps are equally numerous and well

work IL is so cleverly put together
from the great mass OF material that
the book furnishes that its story is
told with increasing Interest as the
final climaxes are approached.

stage spectacles. Of all the wealth and
gorgeousness that the stage OF today
has produced matches in genuine good

are like some well Favored canvass OF

But OF all this scenic spectacle there
Is nothing new TO be said There

seen Ben Hur." II easily commands
another view to excite again the
pleasure OF witnessing a massive stage
panorama expertly done with no stint
of outlay for stage art and stage con-
struction. The fortunes OF Ben Hur
are followed breathlessly, even for the
second or third time.
He is impersonated this season by
Alphonse Either a handsome and Wig

mirable portrayal, the reciting OF the
part where he describes seeing the
Master and witnessing the performance
Of His miracles being done with par
ticular effect That excellent actor,
Robert McWade, Jr., has the role OF
slmonides and needless to note that
he interprets IL with fine skill. The
Messala OF Mr.. McNicker is also to be
mentioned particularly as a convinc-
ing portrayal OF the young Roman
scapegrace.

WILL BEGIN TO DIG ON
TUNNEL WORK NEXT WEEK

Chief Engineer L. p. Dawley has an
nounced that thu work on the New
York, New Haven and Hartford tunnel
will begin next Monday
ON that day contractor Will begin
the work OF excavation and removal
OF material. The specifications for the
tunnel will soon be ready and as soon
as the location from the river to the
Gano street portal is clear the boring
OF the rock will be started.
Ut is expected that the excavation
Will uncover the rock east OF Gano
street.
The engineers have no definite
knowledge as to the level OF the
rock on the section OF the location
between Gano street and the Seekonk
river. The boring at the corner of
Gano and East George streets, how
ever. indicates that the ledge is ten
feet higher than the grade at Gano
street, and this shows that rock will
be struck east OF the Gano street por-
tai.
