Booth worked with the Salvation Army's Limelight Department, to develop Soldiers of the Cross with the aim to '...incite Salvationists and all Christians to a holy life and fearless service...' [War Cry (Melbourne), 18 August 1905, p.5]. Booth did not intend the production to be used for fundraising or entertainment (in fact applause was discouraged) [Cinema Papers 99. Long, Chris and Sowry, Clive, p.63]
