When the curtain is drawn at the
Valentine theatre, Toledo, on Monday
evening, Dec. 20, the most elaborate,
magnificent and historically correct
production will be disclosed that has
ever charmed and enthralled a thea
tire audience, for this will be the pre-
mier of the Chicago Auditorium pro-
duction of "Ben-Hur" in Toledo.
"Ben-Hur," with it's lustrous Star
of Bethlehem, its camels, Arabian
steeds, Oriental trappery, and mimic
splendor of the gorgeous East is
beyond dispute the most elaborate
spectacle ever staged in the history
of the world. Its series of scenes
present to the eye a feast of multi
farious beauty and variety, all set to
symphonic accompaniment OF
graceful music. The exciting cpl
sodes, such as the galley scene with
it's horde of chained slaves; the sea
fight, the rescue in mid-sea and the
thrilling chariot race, combined with
the picturesque scenes illustrating
the Wise Men in the desert, the
moon-lit lake in the Orchard of
Palms where Ben-Hur and Iras enjoy
sJclusion and make love in lras'
barge, the palm-waving worshippers
ON Mount Ollvet, and the Grove OF
Daphne, with the nymphs dancing in
the skins of beasts to the music OF
kissing cymbals simply captivates
audiences wherever it is enacted.
"Ben-Hur" appeals to all classes,
all ages and all denominations of the
Christian faith, and draws to it, as to
place of worship, hundreds of thous-
ands who seldom, if ever, set foot
within theatre. The person of the
Saviour is never made to appear bod
| lily in the play, yet in the scene in
which the healing of the lepers is i'm
piled the approach of the Master is
indicated by stream of pure white
light, amazing in its effectiveness.
| This scene is the most remarkable
of the play and is heightened in i'm
pressiveness by the singing of Choir
us of one hundred voices, joining IN
i "Hosannas" of praise to the Lord.
The engagement of 'Hen-Hur" is
for three nights only, Dec. 20, 21 and
%, with matinee Wednesday, Dec. %,
Seats will be placed on sale Thurs.
day, Dec. 10 Prices will range from
soc to $500. Mail orders accompa-
! MED by remittance will be filled in
order of receipt. All communica-
| tions should be addressed to manager
of the Valentine Theatre.

Those who have often laughed over
the story of Darius Green and his
flying machine would hardly believe
that the first decade of the Goth cen
tury would produce a dozen different
men who had become famous with
machines that will not only fly but
will also carry passengers as well.
If old Darius could only see these
wonderful machines, would he not

every young man and woman in the

condition of things through which
their forefathers passed in the days
of Reconstruction; for in so doing
they would not only appreciate what
they suffer, but they would likewise
know the justness of their cause. 1t

will do good. The play recalled to
me many things 1 heard and saw
while boy; filled my heart with the
feelings that then were uppermost in
the minds of our people, and 1 thank
God that peace has at last come and
our country once more is prosperous.
Success to the play is assured in the
