AT CAPITAL THEATERS THIS WEEK
BELASCO

1t is not an easy matter to visualize
the career and work of our Lord by way
of the motion picture medium. without
grating on the nerves OF the super
sensitive. But this has been accom-
plished at the Belasco Theater, where
the production. under the management
OF Robert w. Priest. of the Pathe
Freres' photodrama. The Life of Our
complete story Of Christ, from the
manger to the grave and the subse-
quent ascent into heaven. Is given In
the photodrama. in a striking. although
refined, manner. Two audiences fafrly
filled the house yesterday afternoon
and last evening.
The motion picture scenes are Pc
culiarly appropriate to Holy Week
There is a wealth of magnificent stage
pictures. and the natural effects are
startling. Throughout the Holy Land
players travelled, carefully training ma.
tives who were to appear in many OF
their scenes. The appearance OF the
star to the shepherds, who were led to
the lowly manger, the three wise men.
the alteration Of the infant Saviour, the
flight into Egypt, the temple scenes.
the selection of the Apostles. the per-
forming of miracles, the trial and sem
tence of Christ; in fact. all the scenes
SO familiar to New Testament readers,
are graphically portrayed, The organ
together with the descriptions given by
the Rev. A. H. Zimmerman. a Wash
ington clergyman. well known on the
lecture platform, assist greatly In max
ing the performance an interesting and
instructive one.

POLLS

A splendid chance for emotional act
ing is given IN The Confession" at
Polls this week, and the most is made
OF the opportunities afforded, especially
by Miss Helen Tracy. as the mother Of
the boy who is convicted of murder and
sentenced to be hanged. The plot hinges
on the fact that a Roman Catholic priest
is bound in confidence not to repeat
what he hears in the confessional The
real murderer has confessed his crime
to a brother Of the man whom the law
clutches TO pay the penalty. but the
priest, throughout the entire trial, is
powerless to say the word that will save
his own brother. despite his mothers
tears and the sorrow of the new bride
of the convicted man.
Those who enjoy weeping at the theater
will find in The Confession" just the
kind of play they are looking for, but
touch of splendid humor was afforded
the Irish sexton Of the church. James
was so funny that he almost ruined the
trial scene, the other actors being
scarcely able to restrain their mirth
at time when they should have been
very serious, indeed
AS the wayward brother, who is
finally accused OF murder and sentenc-
ed to death. Dudley Hawley has an
excellent role, and gives a convincing
tornev for the defense, is excellent.
One of the best bits of character acting
scene at Polls for some time was that
of William D. Corbett, who played the
part of the French Canadian, who was
the real murderer.
