All the drama of a great eciv- ilization is enacted in “Ben Hur,” with its pomp and glory, its prin- ces and slaves. Ancient Jerusalem with its towering walls, that totter and fall after the. crucifixion of the Savior; its glant staditms ‘where the sensational chariot races are held and its amiadas propelled by chained oarsmen, are graphi- cally depicted. Spectacular ' Sea Fight The two outstanding spectacles in “Ben Hur” are its sea battlef and the magnificent chariot race! in which Ramon Novarro avenges hlmsglf for the cruelty and injus- tice inflicted on his proud family| by the 'treacherous Roman, Mes~! sala, played by Francis X. Bush+{ man. The sea battle is a terrible scene vividly done. Ship after ship hurls itself into the thick of the rams shatter the Roman vessels your very eyes. Down in the gal- chairied to their seats at the oars, scream and fight at the ultimate fate of drowning which awaits them. Tremendous Chariot Race In the tremondous chariot race, there are twelve chariot teams with four horses ‘to each team stam- peding around the course of the great Cricus Maximus.
