"BEN HUR" IN PITTSBURG.
to
Th Greatest Drama Ever Presented
the American People.
Klaw & Erlangor's massively ornate
spectacle, "Bon Hur," began a limited
engagement at the Alvln Theatre,
Pittsburg, last night. William Young, ,
who made the dramatization, hag suc
ceeded most admirably In the produc
tion of a drama which not only retains
the most absolute fidelity to the book
and which does not ofTond the most de
vout Christian. Prof. Edgar Stlllman
Kollcy, whoso Macbeth score is remem
bered with, pleasure, has heightened
tho solemnity of "Bon Hur" with muslo
that Is a positive delight to the ear.
The stage settings provided by Klaw &
Erlanger have nover been equalled In
this country. The pictures of the Star
of Bethlehem, the City of Jerusalem
from the terrace garden of the palace of
Hur, the Interior of a Roman gallery,
the Grove of Daphno, the Fountain of
Casta! la, tho Chariot Race, the Vale of
Hinnom and the Mount of Olives are
remarkable exhibits of the best scenic
art. To these are added some wondor
ful efTocts In lighting, as in the Star of
Botbluhem, and in stage mechanics,
as in the famous chariot race. The
contrivances used to make the chariot
race cost no loss than 115,000. Twelve
horses race in full view of the audience.
Each animal runs on a separate tread-
mill, and tho effect of Ben Hur's quar
tet of horses winning is produced by
electric power concealed beneath the
stage. An immense cyclorama repre
senting the interior of the arena with
its multitude of painted people is whirl
ed across the stage in the opposite dir
ection from that which tho horses are
headed, greatly Increasing the Illusion,
as the audience Is apparently going
with the racers. This is not only a
spectacular but a dramatic success as
well.
The great scene which closos the play
is the healing of the lepers on Mount
Olives. Here hundreds of people are
arranged in picturesque groups, the
whole forming one of the most beauti
ful pictures which hag ever been put on
the stage. The personality pf tbe Naz
arene is not shown in the play, but in
this scene the nearness of His presence
is Indicated with the most Intense ira
presslvenoss by a shaft of the purest
white light. The dramatization Is care
fully constructed so as to remove it from
tbe domain of the so-called Passion plays,
and while the Saviour is only refoVred
to, yet His tremondous dominating
power is felt with thrilling offeot. x
"Ben Hur" will remain at the Alvln
Theatre, Pittsburg, for a limited en
gagement only. The management will
fill orders for seats for any of the per
formances of the first two weeks, if ac
companied by a check or money order,
in the ordor of their receipt. The box
office sale opened Thursday, Deoembor
5th.
