BEN-HUR SCORES .
A DISTINCT HIT
Spectacular Pantomime for Charily Is
Received with Favor.

Kcrnnton has lini! Its "Hen-Htir."
Last night, for over three hours, u liit'tre
audience wns treated to a successive
rythm of tableaux, pantomime, dancing
and scenic effectK that Is seldom ex
celled bv standard Drofesslonal snec-
.taculars. Those who expected to see
something that smacked of klrmess
were, In a measure, disappointed, ngree
nlily dlsappulnted, for "Hen-Hur" evi
denced the portrayal In music, color and
beauty of a story that mny be Immortal,
and displayed little or none of the klr
mess details, though an exception
might he made of the dancing.
Never before had the Frothlnghnm
stage contained so large a quantity of
THE TENT OK
special scenery. A vast amount of
material was necessary for the twenty
four scenes and the accompanying
tableaux, yet there was no duplication,
excepting In one or two instances where
the theme required it.
Leaving aside the qttes'ion of charity
and the Men's Guild of St. Luke's
church, whoso Summer Home for Con
valescent Women and Children will
reap the financial benefit, the produc
tion Is eminently entitled to approba
tion on its merit, In Its presentation the
personality of the dancers and chnper
ones are almost forgotten and one con
stantly experiences a thrilling' reminder
of General Lew Wnllace'a entrancing
"Talc of the Christ.' '
The Impression made upon the audi
ence was suggestive of elevating
thought. Certainly there was little or
none of the Jingling, jangling dancing
festival In It. The verdict of the spec
tators will probably Insure full houses
tonight and tomorrow, afternoon and
evening, for which performances there
were many good seats unsold last night.
A GREAT SPECTACLE.
"Hen-Hur" Is essentially a spectacu
lar pantomime, and in Its scenes and
tableaux covers all the vital situations
in General Wallace's novel. Walter C.
Clark, under whose management It Is
presented, holds the exclusive rights
from the author, and Harper Bros., the
publishers of the work, He was present
at yesterday's scenic rehenrsal and last
night, and personally directed the large
and well-trained corps of assistants
necessary to a proper production. An
important part of tho directing was by
Palmer Kellog, who has" been here for
several weeks drilling the performers.
In the pantomime the important roles
are assumed as follows: E. 15. Jerinyn,
as Hen-Hur; J. E. Dwelle, as Messala;
Frederick H. Kingsbury, as Slmonldes;
Mrs. Frederick II. Kingsbury, as Es
ther: Miss May E. Steele, as Iris; Mrs.
L. G. LaBar, as the mother of Hen-Hur;
Mrs. W. A. Kemmorer, as Tlrzah; Miss
Florence G. Finch, us Amrah; Miss
Ethel Frothlngham, as Mary. During
an exceptionally long wait necessary
MEETING OF THE
for tho arrangement for the chariot race
tableaux, the story of that stirring
event was creditably read by R. G. Col
born, a brother of A. J. Colborn, who
was originally selected for that duty
und who will be the reader at the re
maining performances.
To make any special and favorable
mention of any of tho ty'onty-four
scenes, themselves divided Into other
scenes, the tableaux or tho dances
would bo a re'feronce to all of them.
From tho time of the meeting of the
three wise men In the desert and along
through the course of events to the time
thatthoHur family through the medium
of Christ is united there Is experienced
a rapid succession of beautiful pictures
that appeul particularly to thoso who
are familiar with the story und which
attract others who ure not so fortunate.
There are two inarches and six dances
presented by one company of men and
seven of young ladles and little girls.
The latter are chaporoned as follows:
Mrs. J. H. Dlmmlck, Mrs. James Hoslo,
Miss Reynolds, -Mrs. W. W. Seranton
and Mrs. C. S. Weston, chaperones of
the Priestesses of Apolo; Mrs. II. W.
Kingsbury and Mrs. Everett Warren,
chaperones of Arabian Girls' Frolic:
airs. H. P. Simpson and Mrs. A. II.
Storrs, chaperones of the Uutterilles;
Mis. W. T. Smith, Mrs. R. W. Arch
bald and Mrs, Henry ltelin, Jr chaper
ones of the Nymphs, of Daphne; Mrs,
Frank Jermyn and Mrs. Charles R.
Parke, chuverones of tho Sprites Fan
tasle; Mrs, G. M, Hallstead and Mrs.
II. H, Ware, chaperones of the Naiads,
In the dance of the Butterllles, a solo,
was danced by Elolso Phelps, n little
miss whoso grace and execution of
many lutilcatu figures evidenced a care-
"" " '""" "v ' "" '
fill preparation and won for her n long
hurst of applnuse. Miss Grace Spencer,
tho leader of the dance of tho
Ptlestcs'ses of ,imllo, and Miss Clara
Simpson, who danced the solo of the
Nymphs of Daphne, were especially
clever.
The hit of tho evening, as far nn tho
dancing Is concerned, was made by
Ruth Machette, a little tot of not many
summers, who danced the Sprites Fan
tasle with three girls a few years older.
Utterly Indifferent to the gnBO of ninny
eyes or whether she would do well or
poorly, she at once danced herself Into
popular favor.
The lower boxes wore sold to Dr. H,
H. Throop, O. S. Johnson, A. D. Hlnck
Ington and 13. L, Fuller and T. 11. Wat
kins; the orchestra logos to Major Ev
erett Warren, K. Ii. Sturges, Henry
Hclln, Jr., and Judge K. N. Willard, and
two of the balcony logos to II. P. Simp
son and AV. T. Smith.
Nearly $20,000 Is represented by the
value of the scenery, the work of Moses,
the scenic artist, whose specialty In the
oriental line Is known throughout
theatordom. Its beauty contributes
largely to "Hcr-Hur's" success. Dur
ing each performance Mr, Clark re
mains before a portuble electric signal
apparatus located In the wings at a
rear corner of tho stage. A system
of bolls, buttons and switches curries
the orders which time and direct the
music, calcium, electrics and in fact
everything which, as was shown last
night, conspires to carry along the
ILDKEM.
many details without hitch of jar. Mr.
Clark and Mr. Kejlog nro assisted by
J. E. McDole, stage carpenter; E. O.
Marvin, electrician, and M. H. Utilise,
calcium operator. Each of these has a
corps of assistants. Four lens lights
and as many calciums are used in
muklng the ever-changing colored light
that beautify the performance.
THE MUSIC A FEATURE.
A splendid feature Is the music. Prof.
W. A. Saft, the Seranton pianist, who
has played at all tho rehearsal and has
become thoroughly In touch with the
sentiment of each part of the perform
ance, conducts the orchestra, whose
music does not cease except during the
reading of the chariot race.
SAMUEL DAVIU0W KILLED.
Supposed to lio n Relative of tho
Dmidow Hi others of Seranton.
Word was received In this city last
night of tho killing of Samuel Davldow
by a Pennsylvania railroad engine at
Sunbury.
He Is thought to be a relative of Ed

None of them could be found by a
Tribune reporter at an early hour this

AGREED TO DISAGREE.
Miss Nellie De Oraw and Harry Freas
Furnish Food for the Norlh
End Gossips.
The disappearance of a groom on the
eve of his marriage to n charming
young woman was tho choice morsel
that North End gossips gathered In
knots to discuss yesterday. As the gos
sips had it Miss Nellie De Grnw, a beau
tiful young woman who icsldes ut 537
Deacon street, was to be mnriied last
night to Harry Freas, and that yester
day morning the aforesaid Hurry sud
denly deported for Chicago, leaving
nothing but a caustic letter to apprise
his bride that was-to-bo of the fact that
he had llown. This made a very tell
able story, but hardly accords with the
facts in the case.
Miss De (5 raw was seen at her home
last evening by a Tribune reporter. She
wns far from being the depressed, heart
broen person she had boon painted,
In response to tho reporter's query
about the ense she smilingly replied:
"Oh, there's a gteut deal of falsehood
about the rumors that are nlloat. Mr.
Freas called on mo a few nights ago
und by mutual consent we broke the en
gagement, we hud a quarrel that night
and wore not to be married for some
time yet."
Miss De Graw continued with her
statement of the affair by saying that
Mr. Freas was to a large extent tho
cause of the rumors. She said he left
for Florida yesterday morning and that
she believed he had fabrlcuted a great
deal about the affair to the young men
In a barber shop in Providence. She
snld he had been the cause of her falling
out with a young man with whom she
had been going for over a year and a
half prior to her receiving attention
from Freas. She said that he preju
diced her mind against her first suitor
by telling her falsehoods and thereby
caused her to drop number one.
Mr. Freas' name was handled without
gloves and the whole family of Do
Graws united In expressions of relief
nt having rid themselves of the prospect
of receiving Freas into the family cir
cle. Several friends of Mr. Freas were
seen In Proidnce last evening and
stnted that he left for Florida on busi
ness. He was not the kind of a man,
they said, to go about talking ot his
love affairs and much less would he tell
them untruthfully.
