THE INTERNATIONAL
ben HUR. y

London ackno wledged herself as van
quished in the art of stage production
when Klaw and Erlangers great spec
tacle, "Ben Hur" was presented at
the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, last
January. Even the critics whose caus-
tic pens have punctured American
hopes of dramatic glory in the English
metropolis many time and oft, found
themselves unable to pick flaw in
the new production of General Wal
lace's play. With one voice the press
and the public hailed his spectacle as
the greatest ever shown in London
even on the historic stage of Drury
Lane, where the Christmas panto-
mines for more than hundred years
have been considered the acme of stage
beauty and spectacular surprise. Not
even Sir Henry Irving's splendidly
dressed revival of the Shakespearean
classics, nor Sir Beerbobm Tree's pro-
auctions at His Maiesty's have ever
equalled the realism and beauty of the
Klaw and Erlanger presentation OF
"Ben Hur.' 1t was the determiha-
ton of these gentlemen to show the
British public that America leads IN
the art of stage equipment as she leads
in many of the other arts and crafts,
and they have succeeded beyond their
greatest expectations. The production
of "Ben Hur" shown in, London was
that which was seen last year at the
New Amsterdam Theatre, New York.
The season at Drury Lane has just
closed. the Wallace spectacle having
made a phenomenal run ofsix months
The engagement just ended was the
second which "Ben Hur' had played
in London, the first occurring eleven
years ago, in 1909, just at the time of
the death of Queen Victoria, which
cast gloom over England, but the
cloud did not dim even at that time
the success of 'Ben Hur. - However,
in it's present revival in England, it has
eclipsed in every manner and degree
it's former artistic and financial sue
cess
This mighty production has been
brought back to America and will be
staged at the Wells Bijou Theatre,
Chattanooga, Wednesday and THUS
day evenings and Thursday matinee,
December 10 and IL.

LEARN TO RELAX. Get the utmost
