Ixmdon Acknowledged herself as vanquished In the art of stage pro duction when Kluw uud Erlauger's great spectacle of "Ben Hur" was prevented at the Theatre Koyal, Urury i-ann last Jauuary. Even the criticp whose caustic peps have ho puuclured American hopes of dra matic glory in the English metrop olis ' many a time aud oil, found themselves unable to pick a flaw in the new production of Ueueral Wallace 'a play. With one voice the press aud the public hailed this spectacle at* the greatest ever shown la Loudon even on the historic stage of Drury Lane, where the , Christmas pautomliUep for more than t$ hun dred years' hare been considered the acme of stage beauty and spec tacular surprise.

The production of Hen Hur shown in London was that whfch wau Keen last year at the New Amsterdam Theatre at New York, The season at Drury Lane has just closed, the Wallace spectacle having made a pheuominal run of six months. The engagement Just ended was the soc ond which lien Hur has played in London, the first occuring eleven years ago, In 1902, JuBt at the time of the death of. Queen Victoria, which cast a gloom over England, but the cloud did not din even at that time the success of Ben Hur. However, in Its present revival in England, it has eclipsed in every manner and degree Its former ar tistic and financial success.
