A grand and superb series of pictures of the greatest artistic value, which has been arranged with the utmost reverence for accuracy. The costumes, scenes and details of this film are as near perfect as is possible to obtain from the story of the bible. Starting with the division of the father's wealth amongst the sons the scene is quickly followed by one which shows one of the sons spending his money in riotous living. The next scene shows the son pushing and struggling with the swine for a portion of the husks which has been thrown to them. then the prodigal's return home, his meeting of his mother and father, the forgiveness which is followed by the gorgeous banquet and the feast of the fatted calf. This film is highly commended for Sunday school lectures church meetings and similar purposes. Calculated to impress and gratify everyone; while from the admirable taste and tact with which the subject has been treated it cannot possibly cause offense. This film is the finest subject ever presented in a moving picture film for clearness sharpness and settings. Has never been equaled in motion pictures. We cannot recommend this film too highly as it has no equal.

The one who is the "black sheep" of the family accepts his share very greedily and seems to he anxious to take it away and squander it. The other son carefully turns his share over to his servants and instructs them what he wishes done with it. Immediately the wealth is distributed the first son hurries away with his treasure and the second re-enters his father’s house.
Here the scene changes, and shows the spendthrift at his pleasure in a wine garden. Next he is seen, after his share has been spent, wending his way back home. Outside the house he sees the pigs and, being very hungry, pushes them away from their troughs and cats their food. He is discovered by his father’s servants and driven off. He returns to the stable after the servants have disappeared and, sitting down on a nearby stone, falls asleep. In his dreams he sees his anxious mother awaiting his return and his father endeavouring to comfort her. Upon waking he decides to go to the house. As he approaches the door he is stopped by one of his father’s slaves and, not being recognized, is refused admission. He induces the slave to send for his mother, and immediately she appears. She recognizes her son and they embrace each other. The glad news is sent to the father, and when he sees him there is great rejoicing. The fatted calf is killed and great is the joy of the entire house-hold at the return of the lost one.
