THE PIONEER OF THEM ALL

Clarence Benefits "The Holy
City, is the first and original John
the Baptist play. 1t is the only one
that tells the beautiful Bible history
with spirit of reverence and devo-
tion. The only one that narrates the
pure, simple story of the coming of
Christ, His crucifxion and resurrec-
tion, true to Bible history, true to
all the details of our dear old faith
Others have sprung up in imitation,
but they were irrevenent and impure,
and they failed. In these days Of
progressive thought, playwrights and
theatrical managers think it neces-
sary for the financial success of a
play, to introduce immoral scenes to
cater to the morbid and depraved
tastes of the vicious, thus profaning
even the sacred themes of the Bible;
but Mr. Bennett has proved, beyond
doubt that good, pure and beau
tiful religious drama can win great
financial and artistic triumph ana
lasting success, and this wonderful
play has already made small for
tune for its author.
This play will be given at the
Nixon opera house on Friday, Feb
ruary 5.
