men, gulded by the stsXto the mangerln whlch Christ was born. Thls lsthe prelude to the play, from Book I.of the Indlana soldier-writer's novel.The next scene shows the roof of!Hur ln Jerusalem. from whlch Ben-iHur. by accident, kllls a Roman and ismade a slave In a Roman galley. Thethlrd scene ls the Interlor of the gal-ley, wlth the oarsmen fettered onthelr banks. the creaklng of the oarsand clanklng of thelr chalns, to befollowed by the sea battle and rescueof Arrlus by Ben-Hur on a floating bltof wreckage.The Grove of Daphne. with the gay

crowds and the Fountain of Castalia:the splder's web. which catches Bon-Hur and cnsts over him a spell of fas-clnatlon for the Exypttan Iras; andthe Dowar ln the Orchard of Palms,are beautiful scenes for the unweav-ing of the tale. Then comes thechariot race between Messala and Hur,

I in which the charlots. plunge at fullI speed ln the Roman ctrcus to dvclde¦ the vlctor of the -rlvalry between ihaR- man and the Jew. None of these ihas lost a blt of the reallsm whichhas assisted. In making the drama astupendous success.The last act depicts the coming of

the Nazareno to the clty of Jerusalem.

The presence of the Uving Chrlst Is'never paraded, but through lt all Hlspresence Is felt There is nothlng tooffend any .creed, and even in the!closlng scene, the cleansing of theleners on Mount Olivet, ln the pres¬ence of the multltude, thc personaipresence is saved by a shlnlng lightwhlch makes thelr flesh like urito thatof children. Thls is, indeed, an Im-prcsslve moment, the slnging of "Ho-:ant:a! Hosanna! Hosanna, in theHighest!" and the meeting of Ben-Hurwlth hls mother and sister.Besides the three evening perform-
