SEEf m Ricnr: Esther Griffin White Says "Ben-Hur" Is a Drama .Well Worth Seeing. EsTHKR GRIFFIN WHITE. Familiar to tbe theater-going public of tbe larger elites, but seen in Richmond at tbe Genixett last evenlnic for the first time, was? the dramatization of Lew Wallace'! T'pHd famous novel, 'Ben-llur,M and be If. aaid, Riven vltta as much theatric eclati as In the metropollUn center. In on of which the writer aaw It aeveral y cars ago. What la it that glvips this great atage spectacle, which n yet hardly be classed as a "play," its never flagging interest? Which has drawn huge and fascinated audiences during Ita yearly presentation for the past twelve, years? What Is It that makes' the novel from which ita Incidents wore taken still one of the "best sellers" after an existence of over thirty yenrs? Is It not that tbe creator of tta'.s bit of fiction took for its hero, although not ostensibly, the one figure that withstands the limelight or the cent-urtes-that "Prince of Peace who was looked to by the "peculiar prople" aa a king who was to restore to them their prestige as a nation? Whoso failure to do the latter so bitterly disappointed Simonldes of the novel and of the play, and whose real entity was faintly "sensed" by "Ben-Hur" when but a lad. ! Christianity Remains.' Whatever iiay or may not be believed as to foe immortality of the individual soul, of the divinity of the one called "Christ," of his mission on earth, were he God or man, the one great stubborn fattt of Christianity remains, explain It as4 you will. And the further fact that in the stage interpretation the Interest is sustained throughout three scenes after the tremendous climax of the chariot race to the anti-climax of the : appearance of "The Nasarene," although unseen of the audience, and the healing of the mother and sister of "Bfln-Hur," sustains the assumption thirl the latter and not "Ben-Hnr, was the compelling motif of the author's conception, and . whose message, "Peace on earth, good will unto men," is the ultimate yearning of humanity, and the Utopia of both materialists and dreamers. "Ben-Hur" while remaining as great as a theatric spectacle, has gained In drmatic tone since Its earlier day, the continuity In Us action and the development of plot being emphasised, thus giving the confirmed play goer as much pleasure as the occasional frequenter of the theater. Richard Buhler. as "Ben-Hur," the leading principal, Is fortunate in looking the Imagined partand this goes very far In theatric art, Buhler's phy sique, evident youth and general prepossessions lending the role an effective realism. Barring a few minor mannerisms, Buhler is the Ideal stage "Ben-Hur," and might give cards and spades to several well known matinee Idols. His voice has excellent quality and his reading of his lines has a certain spontaneity which goes with the youth and unsophlstlcation of the character. An excellent Cast. Of the other principals, those making the most realistic impression are "Simonldes," played byAnthony Andre whose Interpretation of this virile and difficult role is cleverly done; and "Amrah,",the devoted servant of the Hur household, by Miss Maud Ream Btover, who possesses that elusive lllltlft IVI tliw fri wiroiii i v. v centers Interest In her brief appearances. The "Messala" or Mr. Wal 1er M. 8herwln, , Ben-Hur 's rival in matters of love and war, could hardly be regarded as a serious handicap to Ben-Hur In the former, although he plays the part of a W VilAAjfljfcjt . aIiiwvI intw I H a aF. HIV lOU'MHMIVU VlU,nuSij nsvM we ' tsln grace. Of the other leading characters those of Estenr and Tlrxah are well taken, although of themselves more or less colorless, and Miss Loyola O'Conner, aa the mother of the hero, takes the role with artistic comprehension. That In the great scenes the Three Wise Men In the Desert, the chariot race In which eight horses are managed seemingly In strenuous action, and the annearancc of the Christ In the last act the same effects and accessories are presented as In theaters of greater capacity, makes this one of the most Interesting of the dramatic events of the local season and calls for crowded houses at the remaining performances. Those who object .to such "offerings" as "The Olrl from Rector's" and "The Girl In the Taxi," now have an opportunity to Drove their sincerity In the state ment that when the theater presents something besides the output or the human sewer thev will att.nrf Vnr here Is the dramatization or a great novel, written by a great Indianian and which has for Its theme the one great figure of all tlmo.'

A WONDERFUL DEVICE BEING SHOW!! HERE -. . ... ..... News Vending Machine Just on Market One Factory May Locate Here. An Invention in the form of an automatic newspaper vending machine which will undoubtedly revolutionize the newspaper circulation business in the near future, is being shown at the Hotel Westcott by Dan W. McCarthy and W. W, Rowland, representing the Automatic News Distributing company of Cincinnati. The machine is adjustable to sell any price or size daily or weekly paper published in the country today. It will sell a live cent paper for a nickel or, if adjusted to sell only two cent papers, the purchaser may drop a nickel in the slot, receive his paper and three cents in change. Or if be has the exact change (two cents) he may drop the money in the slot and will receive his paper immediately upon deposit of the second penny. If the machine is regulated to sell only penny papers, the same pricinple is involved, and. four cents In change drops out automatically in a small cup upon the insertion of a five cent piece. On the sale of the last paper a sign automatically appears ; which

reads "all papers sold." Tbe machine works without pulling a lever or pushing a button. The machine was invented by John A. Rule of Cincinnati after fifteen years of patient endeavor. It is perfect in every detail and in fact has almost human intelligence. It is very simple in construction and this wonderful piece of mechanism never makes a mistake. The paper drops out automatically' with the proper change as soon as the money is inserted. The machine Is made in various sizes to accommodate twenty-live, fifty or a hundred papers.

Indianapolis & Eastern Traction company declared the invention to be one

of the most marvelous of the age. Ita has granted Mr. McCarthy the right to place tbe machines on the interurban cars of the T. H. I. & E. company after May 15. Contracts will be made as soon as possible with other interurban lines In this territory and with the different railroads through out the country. A machine exactly similar to the one which sells newspapers is also being manufactured which sells nothing but Saturday Evening Posts automatically upon the deposit of a nickel. Col. John E. Beggs of Terre Haute, is president of the Automatic News Distributing company. The machines are being manufactured at present at Cincinnati, but because of the great and increasing demand for them, pans are being formulated to construct other factories in Indiana. The sugges tion was made to Mr. McCarthy that Richmond would be a good place to place one of the factories and he de To the Ladies
