One of the consequences of the Charleston was a series of Charleston contests which raged in all U. S. cities in 1925 and 1926.

Theme of the play is Jesus' own saying: "A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house." Only Mary (glowingly played by Judith Anderson) has faith in Jesus: His brothers resent Him as a fanatic who hurts their business, their marriage prospects, and the family name...
