Cecil B. DeMille’s “King of Kings,” which on New Years Day opened an engagement at the Nixon, Pittsburgh. justifies all the praise that has been given of it. So great was the demand to see the tremendous spectacle that its engagement has been extended one more week, only. The beloved characters written about in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are easily recognizable by each spectator, even without the accom- panying titles on the screen. Un- questionably the grandest characteri- zation is H. B. Warner in the role of Jesus of Nazareth, first portrayed as the artisan Healer in Galilee, next as the Divine Man Who cleansed the Temple, finally identified by His dis- ciples and by the centurion who saw Him dying on the Cross: “Truly, This was the Son of God!” Mr. Warn- er acts the greatest of historical roles with a fine reverence and sympathy and yet with a true humanity not devoid of glints of humor. Ernest Torrence is a wonderful St. Peter, while Joseph Schildkraut con- tributes a marvelous study of Judas the false disciple who betrays his Master for thirty pieces of silver. Set against the portrayal of the Divine Man by Warner are two powerful worldly characters, the High Priest Caiaphas portrayed by Rudolph Schildkraut and the Roman Governor Pilate, portrayed by Victor Varconi. These are likewise grand studies, the one of cruel craftiness, the other of imperious Pagan authority with which, however, doubt and hesitation are plainly commingled. One must in- deed go through a long roster even to try to summarize the playing of the hundreds of worthy actors from William Boyd as Simon who bears the Saviour’s Cross to Montagu Love the stern Roman centurion, and from George Seigmann as the vile outlaw Barabbas to the courtly Sam De Grasse as the Pharissee, or to the little boy and girl (enacted by M. Moore and Muriel MacCormac) who were cured by the blessed Healer. Among the women Miss Jacqueline Logan’s splendid characterization of Mary Magdalene stands out as one of the greater pieces of acting in the films of this era. Dorothy Cumming as the Holy Mother, Majel Coleman as the wife of Pilate, and Julia Faye and Josephine Norman as Martha and Mary of Bethany, contribute worthy portrayals. “The King of Kings” movie entertainment although the in- terest’ and drama of its story of the Life of Christ are enthralling—but over and above that, it presents it- self as the most complete and accur- ate depiction of New Testament times that has ever been offered, exceeding in this respect even “Ben-Hur.” Last- ly and preeminently, it is Spirit, on the screen; bringing new beauty into the lives of all. To miss it will be the source of life-long regret. One of the most delightful features of the presentation is the accompany- ing Hugo Riesenfeld musical score The symphony orchestra has been ex- pertly chosen, and their ensemble throughout the mighty scenes of the story contributes tremendously to the pleasure of this magnificent eye-and- ear offering. The performances now being given afford the only opportun- ity to see “The King of Kings” in Pittsburgh this season. Seats are now selling for the entire engagement. Nights 50 cents to $1.50, Matinees 50 cents to $1.00. Hurry your orders or you may disappointed as the engage- ment positively closes, Saturday, Jan- uary 14th. BOALSBURG. Mr. Leroy.
