FROM THE MANGER TO THE CROSS (1911) 19 m I v\ !■'; i „ „.* *** H *■ Jjji ) : A , . pfatrfTs^'S i B 2*| One of the most beautiful and popular stars of the period, Alice Joyce. She enjoyed an unusually long career, appearing as a featured player as recently as 1930. BELOW In its primitive years the motion picture made little pretense to authenticity in its settings. The Jersey or California countryside represented any landscape on earth, while architectural backgrounds, from drawing rooms to castles, were unashamedly painted on canvas. In 1911, however, Kalem went in for authenticity on a scale hitherto undreamed of and sent an entire company abroad under Director Sidney Olcott. The trip covered many countries— including the Holy Land, in which From the Manger to the Cross was actually photographed. This scene shows Christ healing the blind man outside of Jericho. R. Henderson Bland, in white, portrays the Saviour; Alice Hollister, second from the right, is Mary Magdalene; Sidney Olcott, crouching, right, is the blind man, with Jack Clark, bending over him, one of the disciples.
