MAGNIFICENT, INDEED, WERE
PASSION PLAY" PICTURES
\ Good Sized Audience was Delight.
ed and Impressed by the SUI
perb Entertainment Given
Last Night.

II is to he sincerely regretted that
the Congregational church was not
crowded To Overlooking Iast night,
for beyond doubt the finest, most
beautiful and most extensive series
of animated pictures ever shown in
this city were offered, and the en-
tertainment, If production so sac
red may be called an entertainment,
was cleyating, inspiring and rever-
ent, and no man, woman or child
who looked upon that series of pic
lures could have left the church
without II more exalted view and a
nobIer conception of the life and
work here upon earth of Christ, the
Nazarcne.
However, there was fair sized
audience in attendance last night to
witness the superb reproduction of
the Passion Play by the Franc Com
pany, and 1t was certainly an appre-
ciative audience. The matinee yes
terday was well attended.
The greatest of all sacred dramas
was reproduced with 5000 feet of
elegant hand colored moving pic
lures. said to be the most expensive
series of moving pictures ever made.
They were certainly wonderful pic
lures. being large. clear ani show
ing to the ninutest detail every
scene in the drama.
The Passion Play is is generally
known, is founded upon the life of
Christ a. told in the New Testament
and it was nrst given by the inhab-
itants of the little village of Ober-
ammergau, Bavaria, many years ago.
A terrible plague visited the little
town and worked awful havoc. When
it ended the entire population made
vow to perform the Passion Play
of the Christ every tenth year, as
token of gratitude, and they are
keeping this vow. Their perform
ance of this drama is one of the most
marvellous pieces of sacred acting ev-
er known in the history of the world.
The pictures as given by the Franc
Company last night were made from
an original performance by the Ba-
varians.
Every scene in the life of the Sa-
vior Is depicted from the appear
| ance of the star of Bethlehem to the
wise men. the birth of the Christ
child, on through the course of the
most remarkable career that ever oc-
CURED in sacred or profane history,
TO the soul-agonizing scenes sur
rounding the night in the garden oi
| Gethsemane and the crucifiXion, end
ing with the resurrection and the as
cehsion--all of these scenes were re-
produced.
Truly it was great entertain
ment marvellous pictorial nara
ton of the life of the Man of Cali
lee that will make a deeper impress
sion on the heart than Thousand
word pictures or sermons.
The audience last night was com
| pletely captivated.
