The Photo-Drama of Creation

The Photo-Drama of Creation, or Creation-Drama, is a four-part audiovisual presentation (eight hours in total) produced by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania under the direction of Charles Taze Russell, the founder of the Bible Student movement.

[2] It was the first major screenplay to incorporate synchronized sound, moving film, and color slides.

Over 9,000,000 people in North America, Europe, New Zealand and Australia saw either the full Photo-Drama or an abbreviated version called the Eureka-Drama.

[7][3][8] Shows that combined magic lantern slides and films were common at the time, but the addition of recorded speech was unusual, and the magnitude of its distribution for a single religious production was particularly notable.

A bylaw in Guelph was passed to make this illegal but this decision was reversed as provincial licensing did not have restrictions on what day it could be shown.
