Does Anyone know Anything About This Jesus Film?

I cam across this still at the Los Angles Public Library site, which accompanied it with the following text:

Images of marathon dancing, state society picnics, silent films and junk car races re-create that celebrated decade [the 20s]which secured California's reputation as a social trendsetter...

The evening presentations of the Life of Christ opened in July and ran for approximately twelve weeks. The play was advertised as a "Serious religious drama, attractive to the more thoughtful type of visitor."

It is unclear then whether this is a film, or simply a promo shot for a play. The text directly next to the photo implies that it is from a play, but the intro at the start of these various photos suggests that is a film. Whilst that could just be a nice intro, I thought I'd throw it our to see if anyone knew any more about it.
