j of Marc Connelly's Pulitzer Prlw
a pity that ran 18 months on Broad
'S way and then another three and a
I half years throughout the .United
States, reaches the screen of the Holly
; theater today, where It opens a three
fc day run.
J The picture, which retains all the
TAintque qualities of the play, has
,' been given the wider scope of the
It., screen that shows scenes which were
only hinted at In the stage produc
tion. If for no other reason, the
i unlimited space and magic of the
i camera have wrought a miracle that
; the stage could never dream of.
& The story, representing the prlml
'. tlve conception of the Bible and Its
characters. Is filled with delightful
humor, although presented with a
11 reverence that removes any objection
that might arise. It begins In a
0 Sunday school of the old south at
tended by children who asked their
pastor to explain Heaven to them.
" The story of the creation and the
.-. subsequent sins of mankind on earth
and the glory of Heaven are then
, revealed In picture form as Inter
preted by the colored preacher. Nat
' urally, his Ideas of Heaven and its
'-' characters take expression from the
- darkles' viewpoint. It Is this ex-
1 ? presslon that lifts the picture out
of the ordinary and Into the unique
novelty that It la.
