“King of Kings” Now A Talking Picture
MANY CLERICAL ASSISTANTS A synchronised musical accompaniment and natural sounds and massed voices have been added to Cecil B. de Mille’s great picture, “King of Kings.” The picture thus has the two late features of films, sound and colour, for many of the sequences were made by one of the colour processes. In making “King of Kings’' de
Mille was advised by clergymen of several denominations, a Rabbi for the Jews, a priest for the Roman Catholics, and two or three men of the Protestant faiths. He called together a large number of the men of the cloth, representatives even of the Buddhist religion, a Brahmin, and such organisations as the Salvation Army and the Christian Scientists, as well as the more familiar sects, for the opening “shot” made of the picture, the scene in Mary Magdalene’s palace. “King of Kings” has been screened to Sunday congregations recently in Auckland.
