"BEN HUR" COMES SOON
TO THE NEWARK THEATRE

For eight wears the dramatization Of
Ben Hur,'' classic alike as a literary mas
terpiece and as a stage spectacle, has swept
the country with its tremendous success
and has added a great fortune to the pos
sessions of Klaw 8 Erlanger. The play
was first produced in 1890.
The Lew Wallace drama is unique In the
world Of the theatre because of its large
appeal. It attracts not only the regular
patron of the playhouse but that greater
and more difficult audience, the people OF
the churches. Ministers and students of
Biblical lore have delighted in Its pictures
of Palestine and It's pictures of the Christ
life on earth. and the spirit of reverence
with which the story of redemption has
been treated. Yet IL Is not alone religious
feeling that has made ben Hur" the sue
cess II Is, but the dramatic story OF the
struggle of the righteous Prince of Hur
with the cowardly and villainous Messiah.
The climax of the spectacle discloses scenes
surrounding the entry Of Jesus into Jerusa-
lem in triumph, when the people acclaimed
Him King of Judsa, while they strswed
flowers before Him, waving palm branches
and raising their voices- in praise of His
power and glory.
Ben Hur'' is booked at the Newark
Theatre for the entire week of October II.
