A thorough, informative and well-illustrated site on the Limelight Department of the Salvation Army in Australia, which in the 1890s and 1900s incorporated films into its public presentations, most famously with the spectacular multimedia show Soldiers of the Cross (1900). There is much sound information on its activities, leading personalities such as Herbert Booth, and the cinematographic equipment they used. The only drawback is the length of time each page takes to download.
