CAPITOL AND EDENDALE
“BEN-HUR” ■ Ben Hur" which is regarded by many as the greatest picture ever made, will be shown again this evening at the Capitol and Edendale Theatres. Every section of society will find in “Ben Hur” an equal appeal. In the throngs that have flocked to see it in England, America, and throughout the Continent, royalty has mingled with commoner; leaders of the world s famous churchmen, men and women of high intellectual distinction —all have marvelled at “Ben Hur.” As a motion picture, General Lew Wallace’s novel and Its remarkable descriptions, have been given the dimensions of life and reality. A lost age is recreated with a fidelity that seems incredible, and would be hut for the evidence of countless legions of warriors, the swarming hordes eddying round historic shrines, the mute appeal of the architectural majesty of Rome Jerusalem, Antioch and the inspiring sweep of war-vessels across the blue Mediterranean. At both theatres a strong supporting programme is also being shown.
