- DirectorArmand BourAndré CalmettesStarsAlbert LambertPaul MounetAlbert DieudonnéThe opening scene of this sacred picture shows the interior of the home of Mark, where Jesus and his apostles have gathered to eat the Paschal lamb. The sacred feast is spread and the little band take their places at the table with the Master in the center, who addresses his friends in words of love, Baying: "These things I command you, that you love one another!" Jesus then takes a towel and basin and sinks upon his knees to wash the feet of his apostles. Some of them object that the Master should humble himself so, but Jesus insists in order to teach them a lesson in humility. Coming to Judas, who is seated at the extreme end of the table with a sneering look on his face, Jesus bends and bathes his feet, but the latter lends himself with bad grace to the humble ceremony. The mercenary creature is ill at ease and drops his purse on the floor, whereupon Jesus picks it up and hands it back to him. Judas then opens the purse and shows his brethren how impoverished he is, for it is empty. Jesus again takes his place at the table, where, after breaking some bread, he passes it around, saying, "This is my body;" then taking a cup of wine he drinks and passes it also, saying. "This is my blood!" During the meal a bitter anxiety seems to hang over the little band, and Jesus is so deeply wrung with agony that he turns to those about him and says: "Verily, verily, 1 say unto you that one of you is about to betray me!" Immediately there is great consternation among the band and each apostle asks: "Lord is it I?" Even Judas joins with the others with inconceivable heartlessness and effrontery, asking also, "Lord is it I?" To which the Master makes answer: "Yes, it is you who shall betray me!" The other apostles on hearing this start in anger towards Judas, but Jesus, raising his hand, quells the disturbance, whereupon Judas arises from the table and defiantly leaves the room. At the approach of midnight. Jesus and his apostles leave the house and make their way to the Garden of Olives, where Jesus goes to pray. Judas, knowing that the Master would be there, manages to get to the garden first with the officers from the chief priests and Pharisees. After closing his bargain and receiving the money for his part in the treachery, Judas instructs the multitude to hide and come forth in due time and seize the man whom he shall kiss upon the cheek. Presently Jesus approaches with his apostles, and forthwith Judas greets him, saying: "Hail, Master!" and kisses him. The soldiers rush out from their hiding place and seize Jesus, and take him prisoner, while his apostles flee in terror. Judas is now seen standing with remorse and terror written on his countenance, and, as the soldiers retire with their innocent prisoner, the traitor falls in agony to the ground. Suddenly raising himself on his elbow he begins counting over the money he received for his part in the affair. Then, realizing all at once the enormity of his crime, the traitor becomes seized with indescribable remorse and writhes on the ground in agony, laughing, crying and praying to God for mercy. In his fancy he sees a vision of Jesus coming to him with compassion in his eyes and extending his hands in forgiveness. Unable to hear the terrible remorse any longer the traitor takes a rope hanging over a tree branch, slips the noose around his neck and thus ends his miserable existence.
- DirectorJ. Stuart BlacktonLaurence TrimbleStarsRalph InceMaurice CostelloJulia Swayne GordonThis patriotic and historic picture portrays the writing of the famous national hymn by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe. In the early part of the Civil War President Lincoln was very much discouraged at the lack of enthusiasm and the tardiness with which the people answered the call for volunteers to join the army. Mrs. Howe, in talking the matter over with the president, become very much impressed with the need of arousing the people to a fuller appreciation of the cause of the North and the maintenance of the Republic. The matter weighed so much upon her mind she could think of little else; during her slumbers she was so obsessed with her theme that one night in her sleep she arose from her bed and penned these immortal words: "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword. His truth is marching on. I have seen Him in the watch fires of a hundred circling camps; They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps; I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps. His day is marching on. I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel; 'As you deal with my contemners so with you my grace shall deal; Let the hero born of woman crush the serpent with his heel, Since God is marching on.' He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat; Oh! Be swift my soul, so answer Him! Be jubilant my feet! Our God is marching on. In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea; With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; As He died to make men holy let us die to make men free, While God is marching on." This poem was published broadcast throughout the North, immediately the people became enthused with the noble cause of freedom; recruits poured into the stations and enrolled their names as volunteers. President Lincoln expressed his own and the nation's gratitude to Julia Ward How for sounding the key note of the battle cry of freedom. In addition to showing the reasons for and the conditions under which the poem was written, this film illustrates the meaning of the different stanzas of this poem in the allegorical tableaux and retrospect visions of the world from the earliest ages, making clear and fully interpreting the spirit which breathed patriotic fervor into the hearts of the people throughout the North, leading them to victory and the preservation of the Union.
- DirectorCharles KentStarsCharles KentJulia Swayne GordonJessie SmithLydda, a beautiful courtesan, gives herself over to the allurements of the world. Underneath all this apparent abandon, Lydda possesses a remaining spark of her better self, which needs but the fanning of conscience to stir it into a flame of spirituality that will make clear and plain the way to Godliness. Casing off her garments of unrighteousness, she clothes herself in the black robes of contrition and starts in search of the God of light and spiritual purity. At the tomb of the Holy One, she is met by an angel, who tells her that the one whom she is seeking is not there. Lydda does not know that she has already found Him and His spirit has already entered into her life; shedding tears of penitence, she is purified and sanctified.

- DirectorColin CampbellStarsTom SantschiBessie EytonGuy OliverA few years ago J.J. Tissot dawned upon the world of art with new views of the Holy Land through modern eyes, that was startlingly realistic. In this charming little miracle play in which a wealthy rounder is transported from the Great White Way to the lonely desert to meditate upon the holy truths of a little pamphlet a Salvation Army lass has thrust in his careless hand, the three wise men come out of the East, on camels as of old, and impress the scornful eye of doubt. The young man follows them under the guiding star of Bethlehem, to their destination, but is refused admission to the lonely stable until he cleanses his soul. Then he awakens from his dream, sanctified by the lesson of the ages.
- StarsRobert FrazerBarbara TennantEthel DoveyThe theme of this remarkable picture was taken from the Sermon on the Mount as found in the twenty-fifth chapter of St. Matthew. The parable of the Ten Virgins as told to the disciples by Our Lord forms the main story, while the allegorical interpretation of The Lord's Prayer forms a masterful closing. While Jesus and the twelve disciples were journeying from Jerusalem they became fatigued and seated themselves by the road side. In answer to the request of Andrew to tell them of His Kingdom, The Master related the parable of the Ten Virgins. These ten maidens were invited to a wedding feast. Five of them were wise, and took with them oil for their lamps so that they might light the bridegroom on his way. Five of them were foolish and did not want to be disturbed and bothered in their play by having the oil for their lamps, so therefore, took none with them. The five wise virgins waited patiently for the coming of the bridegroom, but the foolish ones indulged in childish and silly pleasures. When, at midnight, the bridegroom came, the five wise ones trimmed their lamps and went out to meet him. Then the foolish virgins realized that they had no oil for their lamps and endeavored to borrow some from the other maidens. These would not loan it to them, and told them to go to those who sold and buy for themselves. While the foolish ones were gone for their oil the bridegroom came and the five wise virgins went in with him to the wedding feast and the door was closed. When the others came out and asked to be let in the bridegroom sent back word that he knew them not. After this parable was finished Andrew asked The Master what must be done to win The Kingdom of Heaven. The Redeemer answered that we must have faith and pray. Then he related The Lord's Prayer, which is shown in the film by a series of beautiful tableaux as follows: Our Father Which Art In Heaven: On the Highway of Life the Human Family is on the march towards the Goal of Eternal Life and The Kingdom of Heaven. When burdens weigh heavily on their shoulders and they are almost overcome by their struggles they clasp their hands in prayer and with eyes raised to The Almighty, they gain comfort and strength from The Father. Hallowed Be Thy Name: "Go ye into all lands and preach My Gospel," was the command of the Saviour to the Twelve Disciples. No matter how hard or difficult was the road that they had to travel, no matter what tortures and martyrdom they endured the Faithful obeyed the commands of The Master and taught the' teachings of Jesus Christ to all peoples. Thy Kingdom Come: The tortures and the persecutions of Rome could not deter the early Christians from their teaching of The Word. Dying in the arena, burning at the stake or being crucified by their enemies, they bore their sufferings patiently, and never for a moment forgot the example of The Lord, who said on The Cross, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Thy Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In Heaven: What more supreme sorrow could a mother have than to see her first born taken from her by the hand of Death? Still, she murmurs, "Thy will be done." Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread: How much lighter is our toll and our labors when we know that Our Father is watching over his people all the time. The hard working tiller of the fields raises his hands to Heaven in thanksgiving at his great bounties and whispers. "I thank Thee," And Forgive Us Our Trespasses, As We Forgive Those Who Trespass Against Us: When the poor rebel at their hard lot and demand their rights from the rich, the oppressors can turn the hatred of the downtrodden into great love and devotion, if they will but remember "The greatest grace of God is Charity." Lead Us Not Into Temptation: The strongest men are like unto little children when temptation is placed in their way. It is so easy to fall that we need the strong arm of The Father and The Son to guide us over the rough places or else, what does our worldly and physical power gain us? And after Jesus had finished these words to the disciples he then added, "This is the prayer ye must teach unto men, if ye wish them to know the Kingdom of My Father." -- Moving Picture World synopsis
- DirectorLorimer JohnstonStarsSydney AyresVivian RichJack RichardsonChrist is shown as the hidden power that influences mankind to turn from iniquity to righteousness. The carnal mind, prompted by selfish and negative desires, experiences the operation of an inner consciousness which thwarts evil passions and promotes good noble aspirations. The drunkard is turned from his life of dissipation to one of honest effort. The sloven are awakened to a realization of their utter hopelessness. Everywhere the presence of a divine power is perceptible. The evil in a drunkard's home is banished by the thought of Christ, who appears as the man of Nazareth. The tempter at the threshold of the idle rich is thwarted and the Christ Man, by his presence, drives home conviction of guilt as the woman scorns her lover to remain true to the absent husband. Innocence is not permitted to be victimized by the lust of the flesh as the quiet little voice of conscience, aroused by the proximity of the man of sorrows, averts a tragedy. The "Thirteen Club," a social organization devoting its energies to the promulgation of higher ideals, is unwittingly the guest of a stranger, who turns out to be Christ. As they gather at the banquet table to discuss their experiences they dissolve into Christ and the Apostles at the Last Supper, after a renowned painting by the celebrated Leonardo da Vinci. The picture concludes with the gathering at the Sea of Galilee, where Christ is seen walking on the water.
- DirectorTom RickettsStarsPerry BanksWilliam GarwoodJack RichardsonIndolent Jose and industrious, avaricious Pietro, like Jacob and Esau, are brothers. Rachel loves Jose, but admires Pietro for his enterprise. However, she refuses to marry either of them. The Padre suggests to the boys' aged father, that he tell his sons that the neglected fields have gold in them, in order to rouse Jose. Pietro immediately applies himself to searching for the gold, and in his greed deserts his father, who is cared for on his dying bed by Jose. Rachel at last consents to marry Jose, and Pietro, seeing that he is about to lose the girl, drugs his brother's wine and induces him to sell his share of the patrimony. Jose, on coming to himself, in shame and despair, wanders away. Returning a few weeks later, he learns that that very hour his brother has married Rachel. He goes to a certain rock and putting the gold he has received from Pietro underneath, with a note swearing revenge to the death, he cunningly informs his brother that there is one rock he has overlooked. Pietro and his bride discover the money and the challenge. Several years later finds Pietro reduced to poverty and stricken with illness. Jose, well-armed with gold and thirsty for his long-plotted revenge, sends his knife to his brother by a traveler, and then, stopping at the cottage which was once his home, he falls asleep. Meanwhile, Leah, the eight-year-old child of Pietro, has been listening to the Padre's story of the Legend Beautiful. She comes to the cottage with her basket full of bread and lilies and wakens the sleeping stranger. He hears with amazement that she is his brother's child, and her recital of the legend stirs him to repentance. Falling on his knees in the hut, he is vouchsafed a vision of the Christ. Then he hastens to Pietro's house and clasping his brother in his arms, begs his forgiveness. Not long after, Pietro succumbs to his sickness. On the threshold of taking holy orders, Jose learns of his brother's death. He and Rachel at last are united.
- DirectorHarry McRae WebsterStarsJ.H. GilmourGerda HolmesRapley HolmesPenelope Brantford, the woman, is the only daughter of a wealthy father, and was left motherless at an early age. The idol of a devoted father's heart, she is at the time we make her acquaintance, a very unsophisticated young lady who has been shielded from contact with the world and is ill-prepared to cope, not with society in its entirety, but with individuals of certain inclinations always to be found there. Langdon Grier, the man, is not the worst man in the world; there are plenty of Griers, but as this particular Grier is endowed with good looks and wealth, he possesses a sort of wicked fascination. Chance or fate, call it what you will, it might be called Cupid, brings Penelope and Grier together. Penelope, impressionable as she is, falls in love. Grier, conscious of his conquest and eager for such a quarry, presses his attentions. Delightful drives through the capital city, beautiful flowers sent daily, an evening spent together at the Army and Navy Ball held at the White House, together with all the little attentions dear to any woman's heart, are among the effective means used by Grier to increase the first love fires ever kindled in Penelope's young heart. Then comes the Bohemian dinner held at Grier's apartments, which Penelope attends without the knowledge or sanction of her father. This dinner is marked by wit, beauty, good wine and subdued excitement, and is the climax of Grier's artful designs. Such are the fundamentals on which the Victory of Virtue have been built, but nothing can prepare you for the panorama which now hurries on through a series of incomparably beautiful scenes which charm, fascinate, bewilder and amaze. The lesson that this play teaches is as old as the hills, as profound as nature itself. Right wins because that is the nature of right; pain and suffering must be gone through that we may properly appreciate victory. Victory is always sweet, but it is far sweeter when gained for such a cause as Virtue.
