to allot a plot Of ground to each tenn
pie, on which a club house may be
erected, while the national ~organiza-

building. The water facilities at
Belle Fourche, the splendid hunting
and fishing in the Black Hills and the
unusually cool, dry summers are be-
ing urged upon the Shriners as a reas-
on for selecting the Black Hills.

The Passion PLAY Pictures,

The Orpheum Theater was we'll filled
with people on Tuesday night, all al
tracted by the announcement that NOV
ing picture of the Passion Play as enacted
at Oberammergau would be presented.
The pictures, which represented the
life of Christ from the Annunciation to
the Ascension, were beautiful and the
pictured story, familiar TO most people,
could not be other than impressive.
There was huShed silence through the
house during the display, the only dis
cord being the parrot-like recitation of
the man Clark, who somehow seems TO
feel that ii is incumbent upon him as
manager to recite the story told in the
various scenes This talk detracted
from the interest in the pictures. 1t
worried people. 1t was indiStinct and
therefore only partially heard, but it
was nevertheless constant clatter that
irritated and annoyed. The pictures
told their own story.
A prominent clergyman who was
present gave il as his opinion that the
presentation of these pictures would do
great good; that many people who were
not deeply impressed with the verbal
story OF the life of the Savior, would
not fail TO be impressed with the pic
tured story.
During lull between pictures Miss
Scott sang the "Holy City" in an i'm
preSsive manner.
Only one man has spoken to the News
OF disappointment. He is prominent
Baptist layman. He was disappointed
in the scene whore Christ uraS ranra
scented as being baptized in the River
Jordan by John the Baptist. The stream
was represented as only ankle deep, and
the sacrament was represented as per-
formed by Johns dipping up cup of
water and pouring on the Saviour's
head. The Baptist gentleman said the
water should have been represented as
deeper and that the sacrament should
have been administered by immersion
that ii was not true representation.
