The pictures were impressive, and the peasants who took part in the play made up in earnestness what they lacked in ability, and the interest was intense at all times. Go to Full Review
Inquirer Staff Philadelphia Inquirer 08/03/2020
Some of the pictures were full of life and color; it was interesting to note the dramatic movements of the personages, and the eye seemed to be looking upon real flesh and blood men and women who were taking part in the working out of a tragedy. Go to Full Review
Globe Staff Boston Globe 08/03/2020
Every scene is full of life and instinct with grace... [The] production seemed to have an awe inspiring effect on the audience. There was intense silence during the last scenes, and many a sigh was heaved as the picture of Christ being scourged was shown. Go to Full Review
Star Staff Washington Star 08/03/2020
The world's sublimest tragedy [is] presented in a reverential manner, for every movement made by these humble and devout actors is reproduced on the screen with a realism that is startling and impressive. Go to Full Review
Baltimore Sun Staff Baltimore Sun 08/03/2020
Each scene was complete in detail of costumes and surroundings, and was reproduced with such fidelity that the audience felt themselves to be gazing on the actual work of the peasant actors. Go to Full Review
