ben Hur'' To
Be the w Orld's
Biggest Film
Lew Wallace's Classic Is
Placed in Pro d ucti O n
by Coldwyn Pictures

Not 90 long ago the average human
being was expected to take at least one
extra deep breath when q million
dollar" motion picture was announced.
Apparently, however, that day is well
passed. II II hadn't sunk into oblivion
before. il is reasonable 20 suppose II
did simultaneously with the statement
that Goldwyn has acquired the motion
picture rights and one.half the dra-
matte rights OF Ben Hur" in a trans
action with A. L. Erlanger that in
VOWED "a much larger sum" than ST.
100000.
when stack Of gold like that is
pushed across the table before a
scenario even is begun, let alone n
camera crank twisted, IT is only natural
for q number Of questions to pop into
the mind. Who will be the director?
Who will be in the cast? And. for the
love Of Pete, how much more will be
spent on the actual production
That's not mentioning the most in
teresting query either. That is, What
would General Lew Wallace think now?
/. has been foresone conclusion. OF
course. that this great story sooner
or later would be translated TO the
screen. The only speculation vas as
to who would do it. Various con
lectures had been made, particularly
since, more than one year and half
ago, Mr.. Erlsnger purchased the pic
ture rights for the company OF which
ne Is president FOR "elosc 20 a million
dollars" according 70 the announce
ment.
The statement was made for the
Goldwyn company and for Mr.. Erlsnger
that this transaction "involves the
largest amount OF money ever paid by
any motion picture producer for the
right to picturize a single story"
An idea Of the magnitude Of the
actual making Of the picture is con
lsined in other paragraphs Of the an
nouncement. For instance, it 10 set
forth that;
Preparations arc under way for the
organization OF the expedition TO the
eastern shores Of the Mediterranean,
where many Of the scenes must be
built and whole cities reproduced
"Goldwyn will turn it's great studios
into one vast producing center for
Ben HUI" These studies are the
largest in the world, equipped 70 house
comfortably fifteen producing COM
panies. This one production will
utilize most Of the space and the prop.
critics in the area"
Under the terms OF the agreement
the cast, the scenario and all the va
rous details Of the production will be
subject to the approval Of Mr.. Erlanger
on account Of his intimate knowledge
Of the play, which has been his prop
erty since 1899. and which. incidentally,
~ > tStlnAltu -v'OVOsOVO persons navy
paid a total Of 100000 at the box
Office 10 see.
The principals of tn. cast will b.
selected in this country, but the pic
ture will be made partly in Italy and
Palestine and partly at the Goldvyn
studio.
Well, it is remarkable thing
what a stir in the world mere man
can effect with nothing else but pen,
ink and paper. 1t is a matter OF fact
that General Wallace never did az
much with his sword--vith his re-
volyer thrown in.
And it's fair to assum. he didn't
know he was doing so much NTH the
pen.

Held Belief That
Flames Were the Emblem Of
Deity on the Earth.

Fire-worship and legends associated
with the origin Of fire have existed
since the earliest times. In many cases
fire-worship was associated with sun
worship, and fire was regarded as the
earthly representative of the sun-god.
A common feature Of such worship
was the practice of preserving "sa-
cred fires" in the temples.
The religion of Zoroaster, known
also as Persian sun-worship. is of ex-
tremely ancient origin, but persists to
this day. When the Parsees fed from
Persia to India In the Eighth century,
they carried with them their sacred
ares. which are said to have been kept
burning ever since. Other famous ex-
a,uples of the veneration of FIRE are
found in the sacred flames" of the
yestal virgins in ancient Rome, and
the 'fire aitars'' maintained by the
iztecs,
North American Indians attributed

Sense of Duty Pursues Us,

Daniel Webster said in famous
speech: "There is no evil which we
cannot either face or flee from but
the consciousness ce duty disregarded.
A sense of duty pursues us ever. 1t
is omnipresent like the Deity. If we
take to ourselves the wings of the
morning and dwell in the uttermost
parts Of the sea; duty performed or
duty violated is still with us for our
happiness, or for our misery. If we
say that the darkness shall cover us,
In the darkness as in the light our
obligations are still with us. We cam
not escape their power, nor fly from
their presence. They are with us in
life, and will be with us at its close"
And what is all that but the realiza-
ton of the personal presence of God
everywhere and under all circum.
stances.

Feast on Locusts,

When flight of locusts settles near
native villageAin Africa there is
great excitement. Big clay pots,
gourds, baskets receptacles of all kinds
are made ready; often the night Is
spent round flaming fires in the open
woods near to where the locusts are
heaviest, so that at the first streak Of
dawn the work of gathering may be-
gin. Every one, old and young. Is
eager to get some share. The locusts
do not usually. settle on the ground in
the woods, but on trees, and lie SO
thick along the branches that they
may be scooped up by the double
handful. Tossed. into pot and kept
closely covered, they are secure till
the village is reached again.

could never be SO forceful and power
full as cabbage, even in its last mo-
ments.'
Cabbage soup, a great Partisan del
icacy, won Its favor, according to tra-
dition, in singular way. 1t was In
1880 that a play was produced called
1.-THE Soldier Worker" The author in
sisted on realism, SO when there was
a soup scene, he obliged the manage
ment to serve a steaming dish of cab
bage soup on the stage every night.
The audience was more impressed with
the Soup than the play; the aroma
waited out over the people and made
them hungry. The consequence was
that they stormed the restaurants for
cabbage soup and the proprietors were
obliged to call upon the theatrical
managers for the recipe. Hence the
famous cabbage soup. In Perigord
the goose stuffed with truffles is.
say those who have eaten 1t, the ell
max of French cookery. The story
is told of an epicure searching for new
dishes who travelled all over France
and died with an empty pie dish be-
fore him at Perigord. He had eaten
goose pie and there was nothing left
to live for.
Cream of Cabbage Soup.-Take one
half of medium-sized cabbage, chop
fine and measure; to one quart of the
chopped cabbage take one quart of
milk. Cover the cabbage with one
quart of water boiling hot, add tea

sprig of parsley. Just simmer, not
allowing the cabbage to boil, until II
