Reforming the Grand Stage at Third Avenue Theater
The stage has been rebuilt with new mechanical and electrical devices to present Ben Hur and a moving chariot race. Kiaw and Erlanger spent about seventy thousand dollars, with large sums devoted to Star of Bethlehem and Daphne Festival experiments. The act ends with Jesus entry, healing lepers, and a dramatic chariot sequence as Mensala’s wheel breaks and Ben Hur wins. Next week Dora Thorne previews rural English home life.
