Libreoffice 5 macro never finishes loading impress

I have downloaded 5.0 on CentOS 7.1

I then have a macro (see below) that I invoke by:
/opt/libreoffice5.0/programs/soffice --nolockcheck --nologo --norestore
 "macro:///Standard.Module1.Load(file:////tmp/Clarian.ppt)"

The macro never finishes loading...

If I just run soffice Clarian.ppt it loads just fine.
Is there by chance a new "command line" argument that will just load and
immediately start
showing the presentation. This is what the macro was trying to accomplish.

Any thoughts, something wrong with my macro?
Thanks,

Jerry
