A Good Suggestion

Governor West suggests using the
$40 acres of land purchased for the

farming purposes. At present it is
used as an experiment station, and
costs the state $500 year, when,

BARRY MELTON
At the Gayety

and playing East Lynne" and other
classics Of the day. the application Of
electricity as a motive power. combined
with the great Improvement in roads
by each state in the union for the benefit
of automobile tourists, has made such a
scheme one OF the possibilities.
The advantages to be gained are innu-
merable. One of first Importance is the
saving Of wear and tear on scenery. As
now handled scenery is taken from a car,
put on a truck and hauled to the theater
door, then handled again to get II inside
the play house. In rainy weather or in
snow the scenery is thus exposed twice,
and II has rough usage at the hands of
the grips" and transfer men, who care
no more for a pink and white boudolr
than for the dark walls of a prison. At
the close Of the engagement 1t is again
handled and twice exposed to the elements
Under the regime Of electrical motor vans
the scenery would be put into the cars
at the door of the stage in one city
and remain there until taken out at the
stage door in another town. The entire
expense Of transfer hauling in two cities
would thus be done away with. In the
case of a big production such as Ben
Hur" this saving alone would be enor-
nous, for "Ben-Hur" has a scenic equip
ment that fills eight baggage cars.
Delays in getting under way would be
obviated, the motor vans would leave
for their destination Immediately they
were loaded. Another important advan-
tage, and one which would rebound to the
pleasure and comfort of audiences, would
be the fact Of not having to rush for
| trains
! While the day may be far distant when
motor baggage vans will be part and
parcel OF theatrical equipment in the
south, owing to the great distance be-
tween important towns and cities, it is
| bound TO be tried out In the New Eng
land country-in New York state and in
! Pennsylvania, where the thickly popu-
lated sections of the country make the
plan not only feasible, but very near exc
| cution.
The promoters of the motor baggage
car have figured out for Klaw & Er-
LANCER that one of these cars would pay
for itself in season OF nine months
owing to the exaction of the minimum
charge for baggage cars in the New Eng
land country and TO the great expense

AN staged within the last twenty

NNFTTl in beauty OF pageantry, magni-
Htf ficence OF pictorial execution or
~ strength OF dramatic force the
klaw g. Erlanger production of ben
Hur." It has always been maintained at
the high standard Of It's first production
a perfect piece Of stage art. Any changes
that have been made I'm the play or its
equipment have been but to add to the
grandeur OF it's scenic or costume embel-
lishment or to correct some slight archaic
defect in painting or dress. "Ben Hurr'' has
in It everything that appeals to the ordl-
nary theatergoer, and It has well that
which takes to the playhouse the casual
visitor and the churChy who do not 20
at all unless some religious work is being
presented. In the delineation of the living
Christ General Wallace and his drama
tlzer, Mr. William Young. have been so
reverent and so much under the spell Of
the Son of Man that they have given TO
this most vivid drama OF the times
tinge Of religious exaltation seldom found
! in a church. This is done at no sacrifice
OF dramatic values; in fact. 1t rather en-
hances the effect Of the big scenes OF the
play; and the atmosphere of mysticism
which pervades the closing act, set in the
Vale outside the gates Of Jerusalem on the
glorious day Of Jesus triumphal entry into
the city makes that scene the most impress
sive ever shown in a theater. The crowds
are assembled 10 great the long expected
Messiah, and as a great white light an

Hcsanna to His name and greet Him with
waving palm branches and shouts of well
come, while the very nearness Of His pres
ence is sufficient to cure the lepers who
await His coming in such awe and rever-
ence.
OF totally different nature is the mar
Vicious chariot race the real Crux Of the
drama from a spectacular and Theatre
standpoint. 1t is in this scene that fortune
is tested by the two most vitality wrought
into the fabric of the plays plot, Ben Hur
and Messiah, his false friend. The moment
for which both have been waiting has ar
rived and vsliantly do they set them
selves TO find which of the two shall live
in honor, love and riches. And when 1t
comes and Ben-Hur. triumphng over his
enemy, receives the plaudits and the vic

light and ten to twenty calls are not
enough TO calm the enthusiasm evoked by
the scene.
