Moving Picture Age (Jan-Dec 1922)

September, 1922 MOVING PICTURE AGE 23 JAMES K. SHIELDS PRESEN TS TWO RELIGIOUS PHOTO-DRAMAS "A MAKER OF MEN" :: "THE STREAM OF LIFE" Rev. Guy L. Brown, D. D. First Baptist Church Jamestown, N. Y. "A Maker of Men" was shown at the First Baptist Church on Sunday evening to a capacity congregation; in fact, there were scores of people turned away, unable to get into the church. We probably had twelve hundred people inside, who were delighted with the picture. Allow me to congratulate you upon the splendid presentation of the subject announced in the title which you have so well carried out in the picture. I cannot see a single feature in the picture which should be eliminated or improved upon. Because of a universal demand here, we shall be compelled to show "A Maker of Men" again at some future time. Rev. E. A. King San Jose, Calif. For many months we have been reading in the denominational papers and other places about a remarkable religious moving picture called "The Stream of Life." We engaged it at the rate of $25.00 per day. That is more than we usually pay, but made the venture because of what was said of it. Our free will offering was about $75.00. On the evening the picture was shown the church was packed and scores of people turned away. The picture was a complete success from the start and gripped everybody. It is like a great and beautiful sermon, 100 per cent clean in its morals, sweet and beautiful in every way. It is deeply religious, as might be expected. The most devoutly religious people present were deeply moved and declared to the writer that it was the most wonderful thing of the kind they have ever seen.
