FILMS.

TIvor.r.—Ben Hur. Have you seen the fight on the slave-galley and the chariot race ? Those alone are well worth the money, though the rest of the film is fairly tame.

Srorx.—Hold that Lion. Not very good, but sometimes very funny nonsense about big-game hunting by a young man that didn't want to and didn't know how. Douglas Maclean is the young man.

My Official Wile. Poor film, unpleasant plot.
