AMUSEMENTS. A VfiH To "Blh HuP.;" RI?: JIISIS CiSii WRITES:— "1 h«*d an experience to-day that I shall toot forget for years. Mrs. Cti.ldur and 1 went to see 'Ben Eur.' Thaw began well by virtue of the orchestral opening, •who playod in fine style. AsTio the picture itself—well. I've just come in from seeing it, and I'm still a little overcome. It is thi> most inspiring drama I've ever seen. It keeps pietty 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 i 3 suggested, rather than portrayed, by the brief glimpse of His hands upraised in healing or blessing. The chariot 3?ace cannot be described. "SEE IT MY FRIENDS. EVEN IP YOU LIVE ON TWO MEALS A DAY FOR A WEEK TO MAKE UP FOR IT.
