16 ) PERFORMANCES | OF PASSION PLAY reat Honor to Be Elected fo, Take Leading Role Oberammergau, Bavaria, July 15.— ty performances of the Passion have been scheduled for 1922 )y the committee of 21 which is di- ng the spectacle, but this num- will be iIncreased if the attend- jice demands, as was the case both 1900 and 1910. It will require an outlay of 1,500,- marks to stage the Oberammer- .2 play and the villagers are ex- mely anxious about the German po- itical situation, lest conditions be ich that foreigners will not attendl. The 360 burghers, who constitute jhe descendants of the original peas- ts who made the vow to produce play decennially, personally a: the responsibility for this ex- nditure, and the failure to attract Mcient visitors to meet the cost ould result in the bankruptey of ctically the entire village, as the Oberammergau folk have slight re- urces. . Most of the burghers are wood- ‘ers, potters, painters, sculptors, mers, merchants and small shop- jpers. Only the descendants of e villagers who were' saved from plague in 1633 take part in the sion Play and assume responsibil- ty for its production. Next October will be a fateful jmonth for then the names of the vil- ers who are to have the leading s in the spectacle will be an- [nounced. ‘To be selested to enact the role of Jesus Christ or one of the apostles a far greater honor to an Oberam- imergau man than election to the pres- lency of Germany or any other of- fice within the gift of the entire Ger- n people. ' And any woman of Oberammergau ould far rather be chosen to play role of Mary or Martha or Mary [agdalene than to be in the position Frau Ebert as mistress of the pres- dent's palace in Berlin. pe Many of the actors in the Passion RIA For Infants and Children Play next year will doubtless be the same as those in the cast when the play was last produced in 1910. An- ton Lang, who enacted the role of Jesus Christ in 190¢ and 1910, will probably be chosen for the part again, as he is still young enough to under- take the arduous task and looks the part so well that younger aspirants are not likely to displace him. Ottilie Zwink, who played the role of Mary in 1910, has married since that time. No marrled woman can play a role. Consequently all the young women of Oberammergau with ability and experience as actors are cagerly trying to qualify for the high- ly important part. Paula Rendl, daughter of Peter Rendl, the sculptor, who was Joseph of Arimathea in the play of 1910 and enacted the role of St John 21 years ago, is one of the most promising candidates for the role of Mary. Fraulein Rendl has shown great ability in minor religious plays which are produced constantly by the Oberammergau folk as a means of training actors for the Pas- sion Play. * Marie Mayr, who played the role of Mary Magdalene in the 1910 produc- tion, has also married and is living in CFicago. Marie Schmid, who was the :Weronica in th> last production, has also married. Eighty-two of the Oberammergau men died during ths war and many of the older actors of the last pro- duction will be disqualified by age for important roles. Consequently there are scores of places in the cast to which you.g men with ability as ac- tors may aspire. They have begun to let their hair grow. Wigs and makeup are not permitted by . the directors of the Passion Play. Practically all the older men who had important parts in thg last pro- duction have never cut their hair. Many of them have retained their long beards and pride themselves on their resemblance to the biblical characters they have depicted. OBREGON IS SILENT.

Club News Tells Story. The story as it appears in thel| August number of Boys’ Club News,| just issued is as ollows: | “One of the band members has this to say: ‘We went to Newington Tuesday, July 12, and heard the his- tory of their graveyard then after we got through playing they informed the members of the band that -ice cream was for sale over there at 10 ~ents a plate.’ The story. as told by DISPLAYED. the boys’ goes on to explain how they were invited to render a con- cert at Newington where the grange was said to be celebrating the bi- centennial of the town. Thirty mem- bers o the band assembled at the club to await transportation. After a brief wait two cars came along. As many of the: boys and their In- struments as could be jammed into two cars were taken away. About an hour later two more cars came along and in soma unaccountable manner the rest of the band was piled into and on top of the last two cars. Finally all were landed in Newington. Ice Cream At 10 Cents Per. When it came time to give the con- cert there was no light so nearby automobiles were pressed into service and headlights were trained on the music. When the band started play- ing the crowd shoved in front of the autos and shot off the light. How- ever, the boys played the best they could from memory. Seven or ecight selections were rendered. Then a speaker from Newington delivered a N THE FINEST LINE OF MEATS, FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, GROCERIES, ETC., EVER PRICES LOWEST AND THE QUALITY UNEXCELLED.

Eight members of the Older Boys’ association connected with this club have won the gratitude of the officials of the New Britain Day nursery, on Winter street, by spending four days this week renovating and repainting the nursery and installing a new pick- et fence about the property.

Tha boys painted the walls and ceiling’and cupboards in the nursery and now are busy repainting the interior of the club under the instruction of an ex- pert painter. Mr. Barber, of the Stanley Works, a carpenter, assisted in the construction of the fence at tha nursery. Playground Boys to Bathe. Superintendent Cook yesterday aft- ernoon extended to “Jack” Rourke, general supervisor of playgrounds, an invitation to send all boys from the old Elihu Burritt school playground over to the club ‘at the end of the to ‘day’s pleasure, for shower baths. This offer is good for any day this month. Next month it is planned to close up the club to overhaul equipment and this may interfere with he shower baths. The offer has been accepted by Mr. Rourke, who said he was looking for such a place in this neighborhood. A similar place for girls would not go amiss. The offer to boys is limited to those of Boys' club ages, from 10 to 16, although it is not confined to members. A Sweeping Challenge. The Boys’ Club Senior baseball team wishes to extend a challenge, accord- ing to its manager, “To anybody in the world,” between the ages of 14 and 17. TROUBLES IM MEXICO.
