GRAND THEATRE.
Crowds still attend the three daily sessions of "Een Hur," and many patrons are viewing the picture for the second and third time. The story is one of revenge and of love. Revenge that is sought by Ben Hur for the wiong done him and his noble House by the Romans. When the new Senator, Valerius Gratus, is being welcomed to Jerusalem, and as he make 3 his triumphal way along crowded streets, a tile from an overhanging roof falls from the palao© of Judah, Prince of Hur, and 'strikes his head. That the occurrence was an accident is an explanation which carries no weight with the Romans, and Ben Hur is sent to the galleys for life, and hie mother and sister to the hideous dungeon of Antonia. Ben Hur slaves in the awful conditions of the galleys bun never forgets his one purpose in life, to avenge the indignity and suffering so unjustly done to his House. At - last opportunity comes, and in a chariot race which, as s, spectacle, will stand as one of the greatest motion picture ecenes yet produced, he gains both his revenge and victory over the haughty patriarchs of Rome.
