The Marked Woman

The story of this release is that of the Boxer uprising in 1900, the coming of the American troops to the relief of the legations and the adventures of Olga Petcoff, the Nihilist. The drama opens with the peaceful little home of Olga in Riga, Russia. Her little sister is run over by Count Bobrikoff and his Cossacks. This arouses the hatred of Olga and she is easily persuaded by her brother Ivan on his return from St. Petersburgh to join the Nihilists. She is sent by the Brotherhood to China with an important paper hidden in the heel of her shoe, denouncing the Russian Ambassador. To escape suspicion she travels around the world and on the voyage meets Lieutenant Dare, U.S.N., who falls in love with her. On her arrival in Port Arthur she goes to the headquarters of the Nihilists and finds the Russian police in charge. She is saved from being sent to Siberia with the other prisoners by the Russian Ambassador, who sends her in a Chinese junk to Kan-You-Way at Nankin. On her way there, the junk is wrecked in a fog and Olga is washed ashore where she is found by Dare and taken to the house of Kan-You-Way. Here she meets Prince Ching, Prime Minister to the Empress Dowager and eventually is forced to marry him, to save Dare and the Russian Ambassador from being put to death. Four years elapse and she becomes a mother. In the meantime Dare has been unsuccessfully seeking her. Kan-You-Way, who has been thrown into prison by Prince Chang, is liberated by Olga and he, with his blind daughter, find their way to the headquarters of the American forces, who have come to the relief of the legations. Dare recognizes him and he is told that Olga is in the palace of Prince Ching. Dare takes a force of marines and soldiers and attacks the palace successfully. He finds Olga and her little boy, who is later killed by a bullet fired unintentionally by his father, Prince Ching.

The Passion of the Christ

2 hr 7 mins
A depiction of the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem. The story opens in the Garden of Olives where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the controversial Jesus - who has performed 'miracles' and has publicly announced that he is 'the Son of God' - is arrested and taken back within the city walls of Jerusalem. There, the leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy; subsequently, his trial results with the leaders condemning him to his death. Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, the prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, for his sentencing. Pilate listens to the accusations leveled at Jesus by the Pharisees. Realizing that his own decision will cause him to become embroiled in a political conflict, Pilate defers to King Herod in deciding the matter of how to persecute Jesus. However, Herod returns Jesus to Pilate who, in turn, gives the crowd a choice between which prisoner they would rather to see set free - Jesus, or Barabbas. The crowd chooses to have Barabbas set free. Thus, Jesus is handed over to the Roman soldiers and is brutally flagellated. Bloody and unrecognizable, he is brought back before Pilate who, once again, presents him to the thirsty crowd - assuming they will see that Jesus has been punished enough. The crowd, however, is not satisfied. Thus, Pilate washes his hands of the entire dilemma, ordering his men to do as the crowd wishes. Whipped and weakened, Jesus is presented with the cross and is ordered to carry it through the streets of Jerusalem, all the way up to Golgotha. There, more corporal cruelty takes place as Jesus is nailed to the cross-suffering, he hangs there, left to die. Initially, in his dazed suffering, Jesus is alarmed that he has been abandoned by God his father. He then beseeches God. At the moment of his death, nature itself over-turns.
