KEEL NO. TITLE PBODU4 the sympathy of a woman and the works of two intelligent children living in an atmosphere which has not yet been spoiled by contact with the city will appeal to young and old. Rental, $4.00 per night. DA-636 to DA-644"From the Manger to the Cross" Vitagraph The World's Supreme Tragedy Reverently Told. Pictures the Birth, Life, Death and Resurrection of Christ in a Form Adapted to Churches. A picturization, handled delicately and reverently, from the time of His birth in a manger in Bethlehem, to His crucifixion on the cross on Mt. Calvary. The scenes relating to the birth of Christ are especially beautiful. We see the shepherds on a hillside flooded with moonlight "keeping watch by night over their flock." Wc see Mary and Joseph and the little Baby Jesus in Egypt, sleeping on the desert sands and guarded by the Sphinx. Later in the picture follow the scenes of the grown Jesus, preaching on the shores of Galilee with the crowds thronging about him. These situations are handled artistically throughout. The Garden of Gethsemane, the betrayal of Judas, the trial before Pilate, and the Crucifixion pass vividly before us. Insofar as possible, the location of the scenes is_ the same as that in which the incidents portrayed actually occurred. Costuming and the customs of the people agree with the best authorities we have on those subjects. The players are consistent with the characters they portray and the contrast in characters adds much to the interest in the picture. The faces of Mary, Judas, the blind man, Pilate, the scourgers, and of Jesus Himself make a deep impression upon the spectator and remain with them. The titles are the Bible story itself, except in a few instances where the Bible passage was too long and had to be condensed for use as a leader. This is no ordinary moving picture, it is the world's supreme tragedy, the story in pictures, of the life of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. It is perhaps unnecessarv to sav that no other film should be run the same evening that "FROM THE MANGER TO THE CROSS" is presented. Rental, $12.00 per night. DA-648 to DA-651 The Fairy Godfather Yitagraph Country Life Seriesy featuring Paula Blackton, Jewel Hunt. Marc McDennott, Charles Kent and the Blackton Children Old General Benson lives alone and naturally finds life rather dull. He not only fails to enjoy his breakfast but. disgusted with the empty world, he breaks flower bushes with his cane and walks over them. He would as well destroy the universe without regret, when the sun breaks through the clouds of the misanthrope's sky in the form of two beautiful children. From that moment life takes on a different aspect. The general traces the home of the two kiddies and finds that their mother has done all in her power to keep hunger out of her home. He learns that she is studying the intricacies of the typewriter so he immediately improvises himself as the author of a novel which he wishes to have typewritten. The subterfuge works nicely and the young woman, now a widow, accepts the [7]
