Sacred history properly d amatized
must necessarily be of great benefit to
all who give it attention, for where
one can acquire knowledge by reading
ninety-nine or more are willing to
study by the eye and ear combined,
and retain instruction thus received
more vividIy than from the written
pages. General Walace's great book
t'Ben Hur" is,beyond doubt most M
teresting volume, but how Infinitely
more impressive is the actual presen-
tation of these deeds SET down. The
series Of woru pictures pertaining to
Christ's life in this dramatization are
most ably selected from the novel by
William Coung, but the play is by no
means a picture of the life of the he
deemer Ben Hur' is full of common
interest regardless of belief or creed.
Art and invention joined hands in
making the production a marvel of
the stage. The thrilling interest of the
story is intensified by the wonderful
mechanical contrivances which make
possible the presentation of such strik-
ing incidents as the chariot race with
its twelve fiery steeds, the sinking of
the Roman galley and the rescue, the
appeasance of the Star of Bethlehem,
The vison in the Vale of Hinnom and
the miracle on the Mount of Olives.
The character of General Wallace's
mighty biblical romance is thoroughly
maintained Notwithstanding the mag
nitude of the scenic settings.
Keen interest is centered III the
staging of "Ben Hur" at the National
Theatre for one week beginning Mon
day, Nov. II, when in addition to the
six evening performances matinee
will be given on Wednesday and Sat
ureay. Manager w. I'll. Rapley OF the
National TIL 4atre will give special at
tsntion to all olders for seats
through the mail providing remittance
accompanies same. Seats will be plac-
ed on sale Thursday, Nov. Z, ana
prices willrange from fifty cents to
two dollars.

Had Trouble Getting Hearing

Had Trouble Getting Hearing
Charles Klein, author OF The Lion
and the Mouse" experienced the same
difficulty in securing hearing for his
play that almost every successful dra-
matist undergoes. When he had fin
ished the manuscript he approached
every manager of prominence in New
York. but none of them thought well
of it until he met Henry b. Harris.
This gentleman saw the wonderful
possibilities of drama dealing with
the question of trusts and political in
trique and forthwith made a contract
with Mr.. Klein. The result is known
