EVERYBODY’S
“THE KING OF KINGS” "The King of Kings” continues to attract crowded houses to Everybody's Theatre. A bare hill outside the walls of Jerusalem, the word Golgotha meaning the place of skulls. On this Execution Hill, seen far and wide by tne assembling throngs, the Crosses of th€ condemned prisoners were set up. The reproduction of Calvary for the picture, with that of the convulsion of nature that coincided with the death of Jesus, constituted an enterprise of the highest skill and technical resource. From the top of Golgotha the towers and turrets of Zion can I>€ seen across the intervening valley. Looking the other way, the ascent t«i the summit is difficult, ravine-streaked and cluttered with boulders. Several thousand persons, perched on tli€ rocks or found footing in the crannies to see the sentences carried out When the earthquake shook and rent the hills and the hurricane and lightning broke out of a darkened sky, the panic-stricken spectators fled in every direction.
