ben HUR"
The Pre-Eminent Offering
of the Stage Today

A great many stories have been
written and a great many plays
produced dealing with the earth
life of Christ, but the most impress
sive religious romance and the only
enduring drama dealing with this
subject has been General Lew Wal
lace's Ben Hur, which will open
an engagement of three nights at
the Lyceum Theatre, Duluth,
Mimi, ON Monday evening, March
22nd. In addition to these three
evening performances there will
be special matinee on Wednesday
March oath.
This fine romance, with all the
brilliant pageantry, the barbarity,
and the intense religious enthusiasm
of that period of the worlds his
tory when put into dramatic form
raised wave of admiration from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, for Klaw
& changers colossal production of
Wallace Biblical story is the most
majestic and imposing drama ever
staged. It is a fascinating, mas
terly creation that ought to be seen
at least once; most people want to
see it more than once, for it inter
ests the eye, touches the intellect
and moves the heart.
From the prelude, with its mys-
tic charm, to the last awe-inspiring
scene on the Mount of Olives, it is
pictorially magnificent, its story
intensely interesting, and its ac-
companying music most satisfying.
| Into places of strange customs,
strange peoples and strange beauty
the auditors are led, and the returti
to the accustomed environment and
| habits comes almost as a shock at
ter three hours of fascinating wail-
dering and spiritual exaltation. A
clearer idea of the Holy Land and
Its Inhabitants of the influence OF
the Nazarene while on earth is OBJ
tanned from this one drama than
can be had from reading countless
books on the subject. Such a dra-
ma is not only Accordingly interest
ing but in the highest degree in
structive as we'll.
Nine years have elapsed since
General Lew Wallace's impressive
Biblical spectacle, Ben Hur, y was
first presented at the Broadway
Theatre in New York City. At
that time it was considered the
largest production of the modern
stage, and during the intervening
| years it has maintained its pre-em-
inent position in American smuse-
ments. The production this sea-
son is on scale of colossal grand
eur eclipsing all former efforts of
its producers, Messrs. Klaw & En-.
] LANCER, who have taken advantage
of the vast resources at their COM
/ mand in constructing the new pro-
duction. Every art of the costuin-
er, the stage mechanic, the electri-
clan, is taxed in its presentation.
It is realism up to the minute ac-
complishing pictures that in the
i period of its first presentation would
have been deemed too difficult to
essay.

Fear Of Premature Burial.

The fear of premature burial. which
prompted the late Lord Burton tn
direct by his will that his heart should
be removed from his body, has caus-
ed many well-known men and women
to order surgical operation to be
performed upon their bodies. Har
riet Martineau left her doctor G10 10
amputate her head. and Lady Burton
directed that her heart should be
pierced with a needle The late Ed
mund Yates left instructions that his
jugular vein should be severed. with
provision that a fee of 20 guineas
should be paid for the purpose. Lit.
erary persons appear to have been
particularly afraid OF premature
burial. Bishop Berkeley, Lord Lytton,
Hans Andersen and Wilkie Collins all
took measures, to protest themselves
from it.--Westminster Gazette,
