The principals of the cast will be selected in this country, but the pic- ture will be made partly in Italy and Palestine and partly at the Goldwyn studios in Culver City, Calif. Edgar Stillman Kelly, who wrote the music ‘for the original stage production of “Ben Hur,” will provide the musical setting for the picture. No novel ever written ha: the popularity of “Ben Hui been translated into ‘all languages and it has been read and Is still read | by millions of people in all parts of the globe. The dramatization was made in 1899 and the play was first produced under the personal direc- on of A. L Erlanger at the Br i UST as photography, stories and H scenic upholstery have changed in pictures, so has the acting. The recent revival of some of the old- time fiims (“old-time” meaning ten years ago) has made the most ap- proved screen histrionics of them seem almost ludicrous in comparison fact, some of the most serious ef- forts of earlier perfods have been laughter they produced. “That 1s why, in the revival some of the older pictures, it Is ne essary to entirely refilm them,” ex plains Wheeler Oakman, who has the title roles in Oliver Morosco's “The Half Breed” and “Slippy McGee. Aen yearn ago there was little or no screen technique as we know it now. Motion picture acting at that stage was gesticulatory and extrava- gant. The physical action was dia- gramatic and without varying tempo or poise. Arms were waved, the walking was in stagy, stilted strides and we did it as we used to do it on the kerosene circuits in cheap rep- ertorie. In the earlier pictures when ‘ac- tion' was the one big, guiding rule, there was a sameness in all scenes. The picture was supposed to start at |bieh speed and maintain tne pace. here was no careful balancing up (nr moods and soenes for contrasts or relative values. We put all the phys- ical energy we had Into every scene ‘Every time we came /Jnto a room it required a dramatic entrance with P We never left a scene without {turning for a sigh, scowl or tri- {umphant look. We were acting all ver the place at all times. ome of the fistic scenes were made with painful reality. And they were podr on the screen. The good-film {fight is one which js made spectac- ular and convineing by the regis- tering of face as well as fist.

Its success was phe- nomenal from the outset, and reason after season for more than twenty years it has played all over Amer- ica to enormous ‘audiences, made up in large measure of persons who had never been inside a theater before and who regarded their visit to “Ben Hur” very much in the light of a re- ligious ceremony and as one of the most interesting events of their lives. Productions of the play have been made, too, from time to time in England and Australia. Mr. Erlan himself directed the first presentation at the Drury Lane Theater in 1902, and so great was the enthusiasm that King Edward VII ordered u special box built for himself in the pit di- rectly in front of the stage. so that he could obtain a better view of the spectacle than was possible from the royal box. It was estimated that fully 20,000, 000 people have paid admissions to see “Ben Hur" and the gross receipts have been close to $10,000,000. It is impossible to give any definite id of the large amount of money di rived from the sale of the novel iFirst Custard Pie Comedian “/HO was the first to use the cus- tard pie as a comedy prop?
