It is the misfortune of any great success that unscrupulous persons attempt to trade on its reputaiion. Such is the case with the Holy City. Certain, moving picture operators in var iovs parts of the country have been presenting pictures of the Passion Play and deceiving the public by advertising it as the Holy City. Thus the public, ex pecting to see this great play, have found the exhibition oniy a moving picture show, and hence were disappointed, and many of the less informed have gone away with the impression that this disappointing swindle was the original HOLY CITY. This is a grave mistake and a great injustice to one of the greatest plays ever written. The Holy City is a powerful drama, in four acts, presented with a cast of excellent actors, wearing the most elaborate and beautiful cos tumes and presenting the great play with a full equipment of splendid scenery. It is NOT a stereopticon nor a magic lantern show, but a fine play a drama, given on a regular theatre stage, with all the characters played by living men and women.
