PRINCE EDWARD
“BEN-HUR” TO-NIGHT “Ben-Hur,” the motion picture masterpiece, which has been shown in every country of the world, is now being shown at the Prince Edward Theatre. The story of “Ben-Hur” is still thrilling audiences. Scorning the proud Jewishness of Judah, and seeing the opportunity to degrade a proud subject and attain his possessions, Messala puts the guilt on the Jew of his accidentally dislodging a tile that falls and hits the Procurator Gratus, while entering the city. Ben-Hur is arrested and sent, to penal servitude in the galleys. His mother and sister, Tirzah, are likewise arrested and hurried away to a dungeon.
A second attraction is provided in “Silk Legs,” a comedy starring Madge Bellamy as a commercial traveller in hosiery.
