ARTCRAFT THEATRE.
The Cecil do Mlllo masterpiece, "The Kins of Kings," is now being shown at the Artcraft Theatre. It is a monument to tho film industry's highest ideals. Four years' research was necessary before the picturo was commenced, and three years were spent in its'making. The story of Christ has been told with reverence, sincerity, and power. It is difficult to realise the magnitude of the film, for, in addition to the actual story, the background of life in Jerusalem has been reproduced with meticulous care. The temples of the Holy City, the villages, tho palaces, Calvary, and other settings took months of construction, but in no part of the picture is anything over-elaborated. Tho conception is artistic. The players in the huge cast also rise to the wonderful occasion, and tho whole production is something to wonder at.
