"THE KING OF KINGS."
SEASON NEARS CONCLUSION. GRAND THEATRE. The season of "The King of Kings," at the Grand Theatre, nears its conclusion. Even those people who have not seen the picture are not unfamiliar with its nature, and the width of its excellence. The scenario for the film was drawn from the greatest literary source in existence, the Holy Scriptures, and the picture is worthy of its divine theme. The Crucifixion scene is the most moving and the most perfectly done thing in .too whole picture. Second in excellence is tile/ acting of the Ohristus, which approaches- the sublime. "The King of Kings" \is an achievement which was made primarily to givo a message to a waiting world, not to-en- I tertain; that it does give this message cannot *e 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, whore seats may- be reserved. '
