"THE KING OF KINGS."
SEASON NEARS CONCLUSION
GRAND THEATRE. The season of "The King of Kings, at the Grand Theatre, nears its conclusion. en those people who have not seen the pictur are not unfamiliar with its nature, _ and the width of its excellence. The scenario for film was drawn from the greatest literary source in existence, the Holy Scriptures, ana the picture is worthy of its divine theme. The Crucifixion scene is the most nioting and the most perfectly done thing in t& e whole picture. Second* in excellence is the acting of the Christus, which approaches the 6ublime. "The King of Kings" an achievement which was made primarily to give a message to a waiting world, not to entertain; that it does give this message cannot be denied; it is more eloquent than sermon or thesis. The music, and the singing of excerpts from Stainer's "Crucifixion, assist the emotional atmosphere. The box plans are at The Bristol Piano Company, where seats may be reserved.
