SACRED HISTORY IN DRAMA.

! Sacred History properly dramatiZed
must necessarily be of great benefit TO
| all who give II attention, for where
one person enjoys acquiring knowledge
by reading, ninety-nine or more prefer
| 70 study by eye and ear combined and
retain the Instruction thus received far
more wildly than if gained merely
from the printed page. General Lew
Wallace's great book, "Ben-Hur," is
without doubt a most interesting vol
ume; but how infinitely more impress
sive is the actual presentation on the
stage of the deeds therein set forth
The series of word pictures pertaining
10 Christ's life have been most ably
selected by the dramatist, William
Young, but the stage version is by no
means a picture of the life of the Re
deemer The salient earthly points of
the novel, not the strictly religious, are
what the dramatist selected, and for
that reason Ben ur" is full of COM
mon interest, regardless of creeds or
beliefs. A critic of note has said: a
great historical drama is not to be
made with reference TO the square and
compass. 1t must be a vivid historical
impression and at the same time a wise
ly considered story of life" These two
conditions are admirably fulfilled in
"Ben-Hur," which is a spectacular relig-
Gus romance, with scenery of the high
est conception of beauty and magnifi-
cence and music that is appropriate
and of high order Art and invention
Joined hands to make the production a
marvel of the stage and the thrilling
interest of the story is intensified by
the wonderful mechanical contriyaaces
which make possible the presentation
of such striking incidents as the stir
ring chariot race, with its gaIloping
steeds; the sinking of the Roman gal (
ley and the rescue; the appearance of /
the star of Bethlehem; the vision of I
the vale of Hinnom; and the miracle /
on the mount of Olives. Especially /
appropriate as a holy week attraction 1
was the selection of 'Ben-Hur'' for pre- /
at the Illinois theatre 1t will /
be seen here tomorrow, Friday and /
Saturday evenings. and at a special /
matinee on Saturday, April Is.
