Ben Hur' Texas,
Full Of Highly
Dramatic Scenes

ben Hur," the Metro oldwyn-
MAYER film nov playing at the
Texas theater, owes its popular sue
cess not only to the grandeur OF
its spectacle and the absorbing IA
ture of its action but likewise to
the love story of Ben Hur and Es-
ther and the other love motif be-
tween mother and son which Is
brought powerfully to the fore thru
the many years of separation of
Ben Hur and his parent by the
Romans who condemned him TO the
galleys and his womenfolk to a for
gotten dungeon. The vivid picture
shows his escape and retrieval, tri-
umDhant Chart race, romance with
Esther and his return to Judaea,
fired by the hope Of the Messianic
kingdom. The outcast mother and
sister find the young hero asleep,
but in n scene Of infinite pathos
turn away so as not TO contaminate
him. Their reunion with the loved
one after they have been healed by
the Saviour. Is perhaps the most eX-
quisite passage in all film fiction.

which can be reached by good road
from Newmarket, by way Of La
Plata. La Plata~is the present capi.
tai of Charles county, but when the
county was erected in 1850, the seat

Port Tobacco is at the head of
the Tobacco River, and in the olden
days the river was navigable up to
the county seat. and was an active
trading point. But drainage has
filled the river, and as its navigabie-
ity dropped, so did Fort Tobacco, i'm.
til now it is virtually deserted. Its
