BEN HUR TRUE PICTURE
OF ANCIENT NATIONS

When you see "Ben-Hur," the
lavish Metro-G oldwyn-Mayer spec
tacle coming to the Liberty The
atre Dec. 4, 5 and 6, Matinee Dec.
4, you will have the first century
history of many different nations
displayed before your eyes, with
all the glamor and splendor and
turbulent drama of the life of the
first century of this era.
Here you see Romans and
Greeks, Egyptians and Syrians and
Jews, and a score of other races
with their actions, customs, man
nerisms and accomplishments.
"Ben-Hur" is as authoritative an
account of the life of ancients as
any history, and more so than the
average, for not only has every
thing pertaining to costume, man
nerisms, religion, education, So
cial life, sports, etc, been anthem
tically reproduced, but the very
temperament and air of the age
represented as it actually was
thousands of years ago.
In order to accomplish this the
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer organiza-
ton engaged several noted Italian
archaeologists who spent months
in research work before actual
production work was begun. They
remained a part of the staff
throughout the entire period of its
filming; always criticising any
thing that was not as it should
be to represent the life of the first
century.
The result of all this is that
when you see the picture you will
in a very short period of time,
learn more about the world in the
first century than you could pos
sible do by studying for months.
Aside from what you will be learn
ing of history you will be seeing
The most gigantic production that
has ever been offered the public.
You will be thrilled by the high
strung, dramatic narrative.
You will be held in delightful
suspense throughout the whole
picture, for there has never been
a story of more human appeal
han that of "Ben-Hur" and every
lramatic quality has a place in
he picture, from comedy to deep
tragedy and from pathos to high
y-keyed excitement.
An unusual cast has been Sc
ected to interpret the roles in the
ipectacle. Ramon Novarro and
Nay McAvoy play the leading
oles.

From Great Falls Tribune
HELENA, Nov. 25.-Word from
Washington today that the bureau
of public roads has approved the
Wolf Point bridge project over the
Missouri river is gratifying to the
Montana Highway commission,
Ralph RAIDER, chief engineer. said
Friday night.
The federal body has approved
the suggestion of the state COM
mission for sufficient mileage on
the federal road construction aid
program to make funds available
for the project. Final action will
be taken as soon as the river chan
mel has been Strengthened. The
construction of the bridge has been
authorized by congress.
Should the project be realized it
will be one of the greatest steps
in the Development of eastern Mon
tana, Representative Scott Leavitt
informed the federal bureau.
ut will be necessary to approve
two miles of highway to construct
the bridge from the Roosevelt high
way across the river" Mr.. RAIDER
said. "The north end of the bridge
be in Roosevelt county and
he south end in McCone county.
t is approximately one mile from
he Roosevelt highway, an APPROX
ID federal aid project, and about
,ne-half mile across the stream.
The bridge was sought with the
lea of constructing a road from
to Terry, via Scobey. Wolf
'oint and Circle. The action of
ne federal bureau is rather un-
ommon, as few projects are ap-
roved on other than through high
