bIePLANS ARE
BEING MADE TO
PHOTO Ben HUR

Not 80 long ago the average hui
man being was expected to take at
least one extra deep breath when a
81 600 900 motion picture was an
nounced. Apparently. however,
that day il well passed II 1t

is reasonable TO suppose it did SIM
ultaneously with the statement that
Goldwyn has acquired the motion
picture rights and onc-half the dra-
matte rights of Ben Hur", In a
transaction with A. L. Erlanger.
It has been fOregOne conclusion
that this great story sooner CT later
would be translated to the screen.
The only speculation was as to who
would do it Various conjectures
had been made, particularly since,
more than one year and a half ago,
Mr.. Erlanger purchased the picture
rights for the company Of which he
is president.
Goldwyn company and for Mr.. En-
LANCER that this transaction "in-
wolves 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 contained in other
| paragraphs Of the announcement
i For instance, it is set forth that:
Preparations are under way for
the organization Of the expedition
to the eastern shores Of the Medl-
terranean, where, many of the
scenes must be built and whole
cities reproduced. "Goldwyn will
turn its great studios into one vast
producing center for Ben Hur.
These studios are the largest in
the world, equipped to house COM
fortably Is producing companies
This one production will utilize
most of the space and the proper
ties in the area"
Under the terms Of the agree
ment, the cast, the scenario and all
the various details Of the produc-
ton will be subject to the approval
of MIR. Erlanger on account of his
intimate knowledge of the play
which has been his property since
1899-and which, incidentally, it is
estimated 10000, 900 persons have
paid total of s1o.000,0o0 at the
box Office to see. The principals Of
the cast will be selected. in this
country but the picture will be
made partly in Italy and Palestine
and partly at the Goldwyn studio

what a stir in the world a mere

He invests a little change in the
hope of getting large returns. And
here, according to that fountain
head of information, the police, is
the way he does it:
Having selected a potential VIC
tim, the pickpocket drops a coin in
front Of him. Then he calls the
strangers attention to it, solicit
ously inquiring if perhaps he did
not drop the coin. More often than
not the stranger reckons it possible
he might have, and stoops over to
pick up the money. Whereupon the
pickpocket lifts the wallet from

ROMANCE ABOUT
EARLY SOUTH AT
THE ARMSTRONG

eThe Prodigal Judge" to be
shown tomorrow at the Fort Arm
strong, was adapted from Vaughn
Eester's famous novel OF the same
name. Jean Paige, whose success
IN Black Beauty" brought her
into the limelight. is featured in
the production, heading an all-star
cast under the direction of Edward
lose. Reviewers have pronounced
THE Prodigal Judge" scenically a
feast for the eyes. With the action
hid in Tennessee in 1885, there
vsre splendid opportunities for
costuming. The southern scenery,
with its moss-covered trees, It's
broad stretches of the slow moving
Mississippi river and great vistas
Of plantations, afford colorful and
picturesque backgrounds for the
pretty story Of the love Of Betty
Malroy for Bruce Darlington, the
riyerman, and the Damon and Py-
thias friendship between Slocum
Price, the prodigal but. lovable
Judge, and Solomon Mahaffy, his
dour but equally lovable cOmpan-
ion. These two types, new either
to the screen or the stage, rank
with the best known characters OF
stage tradition. There is a tear
and a laugh; exciting spectacular
scenes interspersed with quiet hui
mor-everything that goes to make
the perfect picture.
The Prodigal Judge" was pro-
duced under the most favorable
conditions. Locations we're sought
and used as far north as the Cana
dian side of the st. Lawrence river
where some wonderful scenes were
made On the Cedar rapids, the most
dangerous and treacherous on the
river, to as far south as Savannah
Ga. The large and notable cast
was selected with a view to bott
ability and type. Supporting Miss
Paige are Maclyn Arbuckle, Ernes
Terrence, Earl Fox. Arthur Carew
Horace Braham, Charles Kent
Charles Eaton. Robert Missasch
George Bancroft, Peggy Shanor
Lillian Van Arsdale, Mrs. Mar.
