For research, thought- ful study and the wise use of money, :l‘(law & Erlanger’s production of { “Ben Hur” is the most illustrious achievement of American theatrical enterprises. It is a wonderful por- fra!‘al of the story of the Messiah in which the characteristics of place and people are historically correct and tensely human. Bach individual vestment is said to have been painted in water colors by the customer. As there are 300 or 400 people on the stage in some of the scenes. representatives Romans, Jews, Greeks and Egyptians, this was quite an undertaking, but the result shows that it was well worth the effort and forms one of the attractive qualities in this wonderful dramatic spectacle. The chariot race probably invites more general curiosity than any other one feature of the many that develop the stage success of “Ben Hur'. Twelve horses plunge forward on specially designed machines, while a wildly cheering mob: and immense, swiftly revolving cyclorama rushes around the stage with amazing ve- locity. The race is given as in the book. An entirely different scene is that portraying the healing of the lepers on Mount Olivet, which concludes the great play. This scene requires the most delicate treatment so that the reverent spirit of the sublime occur- rence may be presented. and nothing offered in the highest degree, to of- fend the most pious, 4 A chorus of two hundred voices, in- cluding fifty children, burst forth into & hymn of thanksgiving and praise, and the curtain fall Seats are now on sale for every perfcrmance of fl\eJ enzagement, which is for one week only beginning Monday January 15.

Fox's theater announces that “Civil- ization” will be presented three day of this week, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, January 12, 13 and 14 and for the first time this great spectacle has even been offered at popular prices. The Fox prices for the at- traction will be fifteen cants for bal- cony seats and twenty-five in the or- chestra, matinee and nignt the same. This famous photo spectacle that has been proclaimed the supreme achievement of film productions is said to be the greatest ard most ex- pensive screen production yet at- tempted by the big producers, eclips- ing in cost and number of people and }mr:s(-en u*“"vd, even the great “Birth of a Nation.' That this laudatory term is not mere idle handling of words is proved by the experience of the pro- | duction in New York and Chicago where for months past it has ap- peared 10 continuously - crowdedi houses and awakened an enthusiasm not alone for the beauty of the spec- tacle and the thrills and ‘wonderment tcaused by the beholding of its pie- ’(ured scenes, but also because of the i tremendous power of its engrossing drama through which runs a theme of absorbing loftiness.

Why, that little woman has the kindest heart in the world. She wouldn't hurt a fly.” “I'm not so sure about that.”” The clear incisive tones of Mrs. Cosgrove struck inta the conversation. She had entered the Toom some time before, but had said nothing, contenting her- self with giving me a cheery, encour- aging nod and smile, which, to me, were worth whole reams of conversa- tional condolences from the average woman, “Wh Mother!” The big man looked at his wife in ludicrous wonder- ment. The gaze she turned upon him was an illuminative one, the loving maternal half pitying half-contemp- tuous look one would give a silly boy. My heart went out to the sweet-faced, carewarn woman who, I could see, had been hurt and annoyed by Mrs. Allis’ careless, malicious coquetry toward Mr. Cosgrove, and the big man’s lum- bering sheepish acceptance of the woman’s advances, “I mean it,” she returned with con- viction. “And she has some deep reason for doing avhat she has done, too. I don't belicve she is up here | for any good.” Dicky turned to me where I was still standing behind him, for I had a vague aversion to getting any nearer to the warden, Drake. “‘The time has come, the walrus} said, eh?” he murmured. T nodded | meaning, and he turned back to the lit!1n zroup with a sudden assump- tion of authority. “I Can't Plead—"" You are eminently correct.

If Mr. Cosgrove's friend, the attorney who is now" en his way here can per- suade Mr. Drake that Mrs, Graham's presence is not necessary at the jus- tice court, she will tell you everything we have discovered. It js a matter only for yourselves, however; outsiders can have no possible concern in it.” Reading between the lines of Dicky’s speech I saw that he was de- termined to see the expected theft af ! the pictures by Mrs. Allis and her ac- complice through to the finish with- out the aid of the police or any other authorities. My cue, of course, was silence, except to Mrs. Cosgrove, but I’ thrilled with excitement at the pros- pect of the tale T had to tell her. 1t seemed hours before the lawyer! summoned by Mr. Cosgrove arrived, . but it really was only a few moments hefore an auto whizzed up to the gate, and an intelligent. serious-looking to | a Mrs, “Acci- have i by Dicky’s sophistry, GARRISON. conferences.

Therc was another conference with Dicky, the ats torney and the warden as participants, and then Dicky came over to me. “It's all settled, Madge,” he Whiss pered cheerfully. “I'll introduce ‘you to the attorne: u instruct him jte plead ‘not guilty’ for you, and that will be all there is to it. He'll attend to the rest of the case for us.. If | things go right here we can force that little Allis cat to go down Monday and withdraw her accusation. £ “But, Dicky,” I returned dismayed, “I can’t plead ‘not guilty,’ I was trout- ing. you knaw.” “Will you shut up?” Dicl manded in a savage whisper. “Dg you want to spoil everything with those antiquatedl Puritan scruples /of urs? Nobody's asking you, to @lv evidence, or swear to anything ing ‘not guilty’ is simply a legal form. Al ners are supposed, ta do it, even when proof is blackest against them.” “It Cannot Be!" T wanted to let myself be convinged but con= sclence troubled me sorcly as I &o= knowledged Dicky's introduction of mi to the lawyer, and answered the fe questions he put to me. It was a res lief when the men left the house and Mrs. Cosgrove after a hasty look at the roasting ducks in her kitchen oven cambk back to the lving room and drew her chair close to mine before the fire, evidently ready for the con- fidence Dicky had promised. 1 omitted noting from the story which I thought she ought to know, Beginning with my first suspicion of Mrs, Allis when a momentary look in her eves had told me that she feared Dicky’s knowledge of the value of the pictures which made a glary of the living room, I told her of the conver: sation in the woods between Mrs Allis and her accomplice which Dicky and I had overheard, and of her invi- tations to drink tea with her nighgly in her rooms, of which Dicky wa# afraid. Only ance did Mrs, Cosgrove inter: rupt me—at the point in Mrs. Allig conversation with her accomplice when he had protested that Goldstein —was “getting a bit leary” and didn"{ see how she was going to get away with so many of the pictures without their being traced. “There’s something about this busi- ness that even Goldstein doesn’{ know,” the woman had replied, ‘‘some- thing he isn’t going to know until 1 get good and ready to tell him.
