the resurrection of Jesus of Nazar-
eth. The dramatic versions given
periodically in Europe, at Oberam-
mergau and Freiburg, have been vis-
ited by hundreds of thousands of
Christian people, from all sections
of the world, at enormous expense.
The motion picture is based upon
both Freiburg and Oberammergau
productions and actually produced
in Europe with English dialogue and
sound track magic, depicting many
famous scenes in the life, crucifix-
ion and resurrection of Jesus.

the usual movie presentation in

Whiteley stashed away 16 points
to help give Kelton a 22 to 20 win.
