of the presentation in that city.
This is generally admitted to be the most
elaborate and pretentiouS moving picture
ever DEVISED 1t is shown in five long reels and
its presentation takes about two hours. OF
course its story is the most beautiful in all
the WOrld-there is no need to emphasize
magnificent, revealing many glimpses of at
tractive scenery and the movements OF vast
throngs of picturesquely costumed people; !
while the acting-especially of the leading
character-iS simple, dignified and impress
sive. Throughout there is the clearness of
outline and richness of coloring character
istic of all Pathe films.
The life of Christ is followed very closely
and no important event is omitted. The
scene of the Crucifixion is intensely realiS-
tin ,-nti 10 tnn hl1 yrit ri nf
reverence 1t is the strongest and best part
of the picture. Christ walking upon the
surface of the waters is an exquisite effect.
