To be Reproduced Here on Tuesday, Wednesday mid Thursday. The first Passion Play of which there 1b an record was In the fourth century, A. D., among tho Greeks, and was called "Chrlstos Paschon." All. through the middle ages different dramas of this nature were portray ed, chielly by religious orders. Dur ing the Crusades many similar plays wure given for the purpose of stimul ating the people to activity In the saving of the Holy City from the hands of the Saracens. In 1633 the peasants of the village of Obernmmergau, in Bavnria, were visited by a terrible plague, which devastated their country. On Its ces sation the entire pouulation made a vow to perform tho Passion Play of onr Saviour every tenth year, out of gratitude, and as a means of relig ious Instruction a vow wnicn nas ever since been faithfully and regular ly observed. The Inhabitants of this artiRtic ability and cultivation, with perfect simplicity. Their familiarity with religious subjects is even beyond whnt is usual in the Alpine parts of Germany, and the spectacle Is looked on with the same feelings with which it originated. What would appear olnewhere as impious Is, to these peas ants, devout and edifying. The Im personator of Christ considers his part an act of worship. He and all the rest who are to participate In the enactment are selected for their holy life, and are consecrated to their work with prayer and fasting. In fact, it Is the ambition of every child in the village to act a port in this great event of their life, and In order to do so they must show by their daily life that they are worthy of such an honor. In presenting to the people of the world this version, it is the Intention to give to them as near an exact re production of the original play (the Oberanimergau play) as poKtdbte. In producing this masterpiece the high est point is reached in the art of life- motion photography. Those who see it will be interested and Instructed, aside from Its artistic qualities. 1L can he asserted consHentiounly that there Is nothing In this grand performance that will be sacreligious or irreverent, or any picture present ed offensive to any Christian of any denomination. Every man, woman and child will not only enjoy It, but will be held spellbound at sight of the fascinating and sublime life-size moving pic tures. This wonderful reproduction will be ahown at the Novelty Theatre In Ko6iburg on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week, for the benefit of the new .Mercy Hospital The numerous sceuea shown will be "lectured" by Father McOee, of this city, and he will also sing two illus trated songs: "The Holy Light ' and "The Holy City."
