In general terms this is a dangerous subject for a motion picture house to take. Those who believe in it regard it as almost too sacred to be openly discussed, while those who do not believe in it look upon it as nonsense and will be disposed to ridicule it. What happens in each instance would be largely due to the producer, but more so to the mind which is brought to the picture. In this instance the producer followed reasonably close the story as it is given in the Bible and the characters perform their parts with so much dignity that a skeptic cannot fail to be favorably impressed. The actor who assumes the part of Jesus does it with a dignity that is impressive. The effect upon the audience was plain. A profound hush pervaded the theater, ample testimony of the fidelity with which the actors performed their parts. It was a bold experiment, but it succeeded admirably and makes another step forward in the history of this enterprising house. - The Moving Picture World, November 19, 1910
