The Passion Play Was Better nee a Than a Thousand Sermons Because it brought home vividly to the EYE and to the BRAIN that which means more than any sermon—a visualization of the reality. It was the greatest aid to religion the stage has ever known. These peasants, simple country folk, were not actuated by hope of material gain. They did not produce the Passion Play for profit. They donated all their income to care for the sick and the needy. They lived in real life the teachings of the Master, and the picture of the simple, honest and sincere peasant, Anton Lang, who played Christus, will never be effaced from the memory of those who witnessed his wonderful and devout portrayal.

Treating a great and lofty theme in a great and lofty manner, the author, Maurice V. Samuels, has accomplished one of the most praiseworthy literary achievements of modern times, yet simultaneously has created a drama of intense interest and strong dramatic situations, deal- ing with Jerusalem and the Holy Land. From All Quarters of the Globe Will These Pilgrims Come Already the fame of “The Wanderer” has spread broadcast throughout the land. Already the pilgrims from distant cities are coming to New York to see this great Biblical spectacle. Telegrams and letters from distant points reach the Manhattan Opera House daily making reservations of seats and notifying the management that on such and such a date certain people will arrive in New York and wish to see, first of all, this great and wonderful play which has proved the biggest sensation of the present dramatic season, and which is presented on a scale of unparalleled grandeur by William Elliott, F.
