Show OF MORMONISM despite the advanced prices tor for a motion picture show the opera house was crammed for four our performances tor for criticism but we wonder why the story of Mormon lain was tod in picture and it ft is sate safe to say aay that the th po pol satisfied generally Of coarse there is always a chance chanca for criticism and vc wonder why the producers did not pay a little more attention to one thing that was ivas the character of joseph smith he was waa first shown a babe in arms ill lie e months month old then he be appeared as a grown oung man dressed as young as possible reading the bible and receiving the visitation and from then on tho the only charge change in blia was his bis dress the youth was too much a man and if a boy had been selected for that particular part of the story it would have been much better however the film was frite a ifor isly interesting te and church members who are familiar la with the story could couii easily imagine the chapters that were not shown on the canvass as the incidents were run oft off in their order another criticism we wonder why the kirtland tenille temple was not shown that still stands today and played a very important part in the early history of the church A picture of the building could easily have been secured and it would have added wonder lully to tile the story the scene at carthage was splendid ind and as it was being enacted many an eye was dimmed by tears especially among the elder folk pie sent the tragedy having their hearts more perhaps than the recounting of 0 it does the younger generation the exodus front from kamoo arid and the journey across the plains was very impressive and as the played such familiar hymns as come coine come ye saints we thank the 0 god tor for a prophet weary nov not and providence is over all the teals tell fell again and many it a sigh ft N is heard beard to escape 10 0 burdened soul who was living over again that ic ie and heroic struggle one more criticism the views ol of salt lake city were not detailed enough the stranger would get a good view of the temple and the bronze statues statue of 0 joseph and hyrum smith but tile the city was shown in ill just one rapid panorama A lake scene sonic some of tile the tall buildings beautiful residences and a view of brigham street would hale haic made tho the illin film more complete but as aa stated d tit in the beginning it Is always easy to criticise criticism critic ise the picture was well worth arth tho the price pi ice of admission and will undoubtedly make an impression for good wherever he rever it Is shown if it can induce people to read the true story of mormonism then it will have accomplished its mission incidentally it will undoubtedly return a handsome profit to tile the company handling it |
