A Visit to “BEN HUR” REV. JASPER CALDER writes:— “I had an experience to-day that I * shall not forget for years. Mrs. Calder , and I went to see ‘Ben-Hur.’ Things j began well by virtue of the orchestral . opening played in fine style. As to the ' picture itself —well, I've Just come in from j seeing it, and I’m still a little overcome. . It is the most inspiring drama I've ever seen. It keeps pretty well to the book, and is staged on a most lavish scale. The sacred scenes are handled with becoming reverence. One never sees a close up picture of Our Lord. His presence is suggested, rather than portrayed, by a brief glimpse of His hands upraised In healing or blessing. The chariot race cannot be described. “See it, my friends, when it comes, if you five on two meals a day for a week to make up for it. You’ll not regret it, believe me/' Have paid to see the Strand Presentation of "Ben-Hur.” Ask anyone of this great number what he thinks of it.
