Religious Film Seen By Many
Capacity crowds attended the showings of the religious film, "THE KING OF KINGS." recently filmed on the 35 mm Projectors at Slater Hall. The first showing was arranged for 7:30 o'clock, Tuesdany night, January 2. The second showing was filmed at 1:30 o'clock Wednesday, January 4, for those whose working hours did not permit them to attend on Tuesday night. On Wednesday night, January 3, the picture was shown to the colored employees of Slater and their families. In all, approximately 600 white people and 160 colored people availed themselves of the opportunity to see this very famous production.

This film shows the simple Christian story of the life of Christ, and is portrayed with reverence, beauty, and great power. It is shown some 1500 times every year in the United States and numbers of times in other countries. For a number of years there has never been a week when "THE KING OF KINGS" was not played somewhere; in all, 600,000,000 persons have seen it. No other film has had half as many spectators.

The script for "THE KING OF KINGS" was written by Cecil B. DeMille from the Four Gospels and the Apocrypha. H. B. Warner played the part of Christ and wore a crown of thorns brought from the Holy Land. It is said that while the picture was being made, the producers met on a lot and began each day's work with a prayer.

The bringing of this picture to Slater presented a real opportunity to the people of Slater to see an outstanding masterpiece developed in a field that concerns us all. Favorable comments are still being made regarding this film, and we feel sure that all who saw it appreciate the work of The Slater Community Association in making such opportunities possible at no cost at all to the individual.
