it stands unrivaled in btauty and en-
Enlistment, unsurpassed in dramatic
significance and power. 1t was the last
word of the stagecraft of the nine
teenth century. and into the new age
it brought a bigness and perfection
which will remain the standard for de-
cades to come.
Dealing with the earth-life of Jesus.
the most important period in history,
Ben Hur" shows the world at its most
wonderful point in pnagnificence and
wealth. for Rome ruled the world and
Caesar Augustus was emperor OF the
mightiest realm the earth had ever
known. Into this time of display and
pomp came the lowly Nazarene, the
Christus for whom the nation had
longed. and it is this personality of
Jesus that, permeating the fabric of
the Wallace Young drama, makes it a
sermon as we'll as a drama of tremen-
dous significance. The reverence with
which the imminence of Christ is indi-
Gated has made Ben Hur'' a religious
pageant. while the sweep of the story
of Ben Hur, Messiah, Esther and Iras
carries audiences off its feet, the Gull
mination of the dramatic plot being the
chariot race wherein Ben Hur conquers
and degrades his Roman enemy.
Nothing more realistic than this scene
with Ben Hur and Messiah contesting
for supremacy, has ever been imagined
by a dramatist or executed by a pro-
ducer. The race enthralls because of
its outcome-for IL means life love, hon
or and riches to the victor-and when
Ben Hur receives the victor's crown
audiences go wild with enthusiasm.
The religious feeling of the play. be-
ginning with the alteration of the Wise
Men, reaches its height in the final
scene where the triumphal entry of
Jesus into Jerusalem fills the stage with
men and women, and little children
singing "Hosanna" and throwing palm
branches in his pathway. The Christ
does not actually appear upon the
scene. but the ineffable presence is sug-
gested by great white light which fills
the air with silvery beams as the cur
tain falls. The scene has been made
even more impressive by the curing of
the lepers, among them the mother and
sister of Ben Hur. and the ultimate re-
union of this long-separated family.
Klaw & Erlanger have given Ben
Hur," which is to be the attraction at
the Salt Lake theatre on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, an even greater
equipment this season than heretofore
for it is the tenth year of the drama.
and all the wealth of resource at the
command OF this great theatrical firm
has been called upon to make this Won
derful play more real than ever before
