‘‘Ben-Hur’’ at the Boston Theatre 
The record made by Klaw & Er- 
langer’s new and greater production 
of ‘‘Ben-Hur”’ at the Boston Theatre 
bids fair to eclipse that of any simi- 
lar production that has ever ap- 
peared at that historic playhouse. 
The theatre-going public have been 
quick to realize that a production is 
being presented that has set a new 
mark for American producers and 
that it will be long before another 
opportunity of witnessing anything 
of a like magnitude will be offered. 
The production is to be taken intact 
to the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, 
London, England, where it is sched- 
uled to open on April 6, 1912.

seeing the play on its former pres-

as far as scenic effects, perfect stag- 
ing and gorgeous investiture has 
been said. The cast is pronounced 
the best that has been seen in this 
country and from the length of time. 
that it has now been running at the 
Boston Theatre the play is pro- 
nounced absolutely perfect as re- 
gards stage management and tech- 
nique. The story of the play is so 
well known that it requires no ex- 
planation and particular pains have 
been taken to handle the scenes of 
a reverential nature with care and 
due regard to the feelings of those 
who witness it from the front. The

of the few which have met with the 
approval of readers of all sects and 
religions.
