39 *The Passion Play or 6M-5601 The Life of Our Savior Code KERBE A reverent presentation of the story of the Savior of the world, from the Manger to the Ascension. Starting from the time when the populace of Judea is herded into Bethlehem, for the taking of the census, when the inns are crowded and only a stable offers shelter on that first Christmas Eve ; then twelve years later we see the boy Jesus in the temple with the doctors and, later, now a grown man, we follow Him on through that period of teaching, healing the sick, the lame, the blind, and comforting the oppressed, to the Last Supper. Then follows the ordeal before Caiaphas and Pilate, which leads to Calvary, the sorrowful burial, His resurrection and joyful reunion with the Disciples, and finally the Ascension. An inspiring narration, interspersed with fine orchestral music and beautiful choral selections takes the place of dialogue and adds to the understanding and appreciation of the picture. While the portrayal of the "Passion Play" is quite different from that of the "King of Kings," the players are suited to their parts and the production will appeal to those who do not wish to devote as much time and expense as is necessary for the showing of a longer picture. 62 iiiin.
