The OT Crawford Film Exchange Company in Saint Louis said "We can rent you every feature and good film the world produces, PATHE's 'LIFE OF CHRIST,' 'PARSIFAL,' 'BEN-HUR' and 'TWO ORPHANS' rented reasonable."
Life and Passion of the Christ was a 1903 motion picture that is considered the first feature length story film. "Parsifal" was probably the 1903 Edison movie directed by Edwin S Porter. "Ben-Hur" may have been the 1907 Kalem one-reeler. The Two Orphans was a popular play that DW Griffith later adapted as Orphans of the Storm. So far I haven't found a reference to a film adaptation made in 1908 or before.
