LIKE THEIR NEW HOME

! In letter to Benton NJ Johnson
Rev. w. M. McClearen of Bakersfield,
California, says:
Well, we came through o. k. Spent
five days and nights on the road,
which was over time but was due to
our train leaving st. Louis two hours
late.
| We had cold and hot coming through
Cold and snow abounded from KY,
| through Kans. but from Oklahoma
through Texas, New Mexico and ArI-
zona it warmed up and is still warm
here Seems strange to read of your
cold weather while we have spring
time. Well this is great country in
point of climate and wealth. They
do things here from worldly stand
point. The church side of life is not
stressed as much as other things, yet
there are many who are devout and
true to the cause of Christ.
We are well pleased with the situ-
alton here taking it as a whole |
have had no trouble so far with my
throat that is l don't get hoarse as l
did in Tennessee. For instance /
preached twice Sunday without be-
coming hoarse, which is very unusual
you know
Our parsonage is well furnished, has
water, lights, and is heated by gass
The church is on the same order.
We are all enjoying life it seems.
Wishing you long and prosperous
life, and shall ever feel grateful to
you and others for your fayors and CO.

The International Ben Hur

London acknowledged herself as
vanquished in TIE art Of stage produc-
tion when Klaw and Erlanger's great
spectacle, 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 a time and Oft found
themselves unable to pick flaw in the
new production of General Wallace's
play. With one voice the press and
the public hailed this spectacle as the
greatest ever shown in London even
on the historic stage of Drury Lane,
where the Christmas pantomimes for
more than hundred years have been
considered the acme of stage beauty
and spectacular surprise. Not even
Sir Henry Irving's splendidly dressed
revivals of the Shakespearean classics,
nor Sir Beerbohm Trees productions
at His Majesty's have ever equalled
the realism and beauty of the Klaw
and Erlanger presentation of Ben Hur.
It was the determination of these gen.
tlemen to show the British public that
America leads in the art of stage
equipment as she leads in many other
arts and crafts, and they have sue
ooadod hayopd tboir ornofocf ovpooto
tions. 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 Wal
lace spectacle having made phenom-
email run of six months. The engage
ment just ended was the second which
Ben Hur had played in London, the
first occurring eleven years ago, in
1902, ujst 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 re-
vival in England, it has eclipsed in ev-
cry manner ad degree its former ar
tistic and financial success.
This mighty production has been
brought back to America and will be
staged at the vendome Theatre, Nash
vile. Monday and Tuesday nights and
Tuesday matinee, Dec. is and Is.
