"8en.Hur."

"Ben-Hur." the dyamatization of the
late General Lew Wallace's famous no
vel of the same name, since it's origi.
nal production in New York city in the
autumn of 189 has maintained it's pO
sition as the greatest achievement
Of the spectacular drama and has
evolved into the present elaborate yer
sion, which is on scale of unparalleled
magnificance. Each scene as it un
folds becomes more massive than the
preceding one until great climax is
reached in the chariot race and the
animated pageant of the entry into
Jerusalem.
"Ben-Hur" has won the esteem OF
millions of theatergoers and is an en-
tertainment to which many people &C

patrons and many persons whose in
clinations are such that theater-goine
Is not a usual pastime with them turr

on Is not difficult to discover. While
the Wallace story in stage form IL
made outwardly one of the most i'm
pressive and elaborate spectaclues
that the American stage possesses to
day, its spectacular features do no,
force the drama into a subservient pc
sition. The story told is one that II
as general in it's appeal as is human
sympathy and it is cumulative in in
terest. While the eye may be daz
zled and the ear pleased, the appeal tt
the mind is the ever present factor
and "Ben-Hur" remains a drama broad
in outline, mighty in its claims FOL
sympathy and beautifully dignifiet
and presentation. An impressive fea
ture of this seasons production is the
symphonic musical accompaniment o.
Edgar Stillman Kelley, which sc
greatly adds to the dignity and sol
