WINDOW BOXES A-BL00M
One of London's Most Char
acteristic Features.

From The Tribunc correspondent
London, May e.-Window boxes are one
~ the most characteristic features of
London spring. Almost everybody has
window boxes aglow with flowers.
Ceraniums, creeping jenny, marguerltes,
dwarf sunfiowers, stocks, calceolarias'
nasturtiums. sweetpeas, corhno"ers'
candytuft and mignonette are among the
ooNers used during the spring and sum-
mer.
In the winter there are dwarf SHRUBS
and eversreens: in the spring, hyacinths
and tulips predominant Later on come
the harder flowers. large number OF
florists have annual contracts TO keep the
boxes in order.
THE windows Of one side Of Buckingham
palace are always glorious with flowers
,specially during the spring ana autumn
The Royal Automobile club has perhaps
,,ore window boxes than any other cluo

new features
N BEN HUB'
Costumes, Scenery and Electri-
cal ELECTS. Auuea 10 Great
Spectacular Flay.

With many new features In the
way Of costumes, scenery and cleo
trical effects, General Lew Wailace's
famous story OF Zen Hurr is. being
presented at the forrest thcater,
Philadelphia, during the holidays. The
current production OF the dana,
which pleased local theatergoers at
three performances here last season.
is in no way INFERIOR to the story,
which has hsld the boards since tue
year 1888. n
The fact that it was fifteen years
ago that Ben Hur' was first pre-
scented ard enthusiastically receiscd
by a New 1osk audience is striking
commentary OH the faithfulness ~
the public taste IN certain religious
respects.
The cast that is presenting the well
known drama this year is much the
same that has been associated with
the company for years past. Richard
BUTLER, whose assumption of the title
part is familiar, Ii chief among them,
Virginia Howell has the role of the
enchantress, lras. Other capable
players in the company are. John
Milton, Walter L. Sherwin, Leslie
Stowe George Sydcnham, Cassius NJ.
Quimby. Herbert DeGuerre, Charles
Garfield, John Eagan, Cecil Sully.
Mary Condor, Alice Haynes, Maud
Keam Slower ara Martha Boucher.
Unerring wisdom has been used in
bringing the scenic aspects up to
date. The famous chariot race, as in
former years, evokes thrill among the
spectators. The stage direction is
expert at this point and is also excel
lent in the shipwreck episode.
The company is playing a number
~ the larger cities, while enroute to
SIN Francisco to fill an engagement
at the Panama-Pacific exposition.
