Thirty Performances Sched

Ve for Roles
VILLAGE FINANCES PLAY
Record Attendance Is Ex
pected at Sacred Event
at Oberammergau
OBERAMMERGAV. Bavaria,
Aug. 9. Thirty performances of
the Passion Play have been sched
uled for 1922 by the committee of
21 which is directing the spectacle,
but this number will be increased
if the attendance demands, as was
the case both in 1900 and 1910.
. It will require an outlay of
1.500,000 marks to stage the
Oberammergau play and the vil
lagers are extremely anxious
about the German political situa
tion, lest conditions be such that
foreigners will not attend.
Presented Every 10 Years.
The 360 burghers, who consti
tute the descendants of the origin
al peasants who made the vow to
produce the play decennially, per
sonally assume the responsibility
for this expenditure, and the fail
ure to attract sufficient visitors to
meet the cost would result in the
bankruptcy of practically the en
tire village, as the Oberammergau
folk have slight resources.
Most of the burghers are wood
carvers, potters, sculptors, paint
ers, farmers, merchants and small
shopkeepers. Only the descend
ants of the villagers who were
saved from the plague in 1633 take
part in the Passion Play and as
sume responsibility for its produc
tion. Will Select Roles.
Next October will be a fateful
month for then the names of the
villagers who are to have the lead
ing roles in the spectacle will be
announced.
To be selected to enact the role
of Jesus Christ or one of the
apostles is a far greater honor to
an Oberammergau man than elec
tion to the presidency of Germany
or any other office within the gift
of the entire German people.
Role of Mary Attracts.
And any woman of Oberammer
gau would far rather be chosen to
play the role of Mary or Martha
or Mary Magdalene than to be in
the position of Frau Ebert as
mistress of the President's palace
in Berlin.
Many of the actors in the Pas
sion Play next year will doirotless
be the same as those in the cast
when the play was last produced
in 1910. Anton Lang, who enacted
the role of Jesus Christ in 1900.
and 1910, will probably be chosen
for the part again, as he is still
young enough to undertake the
arduous Jtask and looks the part
-It 1 . i .
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 married wom
an can play a role. Consequently
all the young women of Ober
ammergau with ability and experi
ence as .actors are eagerly trying
to qualify for the highly 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 moat promising candidates
for the role of Mary. Fraulein
Rendl has shown great ability in
minor religious plays which are
produced constantly by the Ober
ammergau folk as a means of
training actors for the Passion
Play.
Marie Mayr, who, played the
role of Mary Magdalene in the
1910 production, has also married
and is living in Chicago. Marie
Schmid, who was the Veronica in
the last production, has also
married.
Older Players Pass.
Eighty-two of the Oberammer
gau men died during the war and
many of the older actors ot the
last production will be disquali
fied by age for Important roles.
Consequently there are scores of
places in the cast to which young
men with ability as actors may
aspire. They have begun to let
their hair grow. Wigs and make
up are not permitted by the di
rectors of the Passion Play.

NUMEROUS APPLICATIONS
Smoky City's House Problem
Solved in Part by Ac
tion of Banks
PITTSBURGH, Aug. H. Two
thousand new, houses tor the
Pittsburgh district within the next
year is the , aim of the bousing
corporation f the Pittsburgh
Chamber of Commerce Tormed to
better the acute rent and home
situation here. .
Cheap money, construction, at
about one-half the usual eoit. and
erjrt cupervision without charge
are leading features of the plan.
It has so. appealed to, the public
that scores of building applica
tions have been filed.
Civic Rettertumt
The movement is for civic bet
terment, without profit to the
corporation. Its officers are giv
ing their time and business exper
ience without hope of financial
reward. Bankers, builders and
material dealers have fallen into
line. The result has been that
money for construction is avail
able at the legal rate of six per
cent without bonus, materials
are being provided at little more
than cost, and some 7000 lots
have been listed as available sites
for dwellings.
No Obligations
The corporation has no money.
nor does it assume , any obliga
tions. On the other hand, it in
8 'st 3 that every house be financed
before work is started, but it
helps in the financing.
it demands that each prospec
tive builder shall have not- less
than 20 per cent of the total cost
Then it tells him where he can
get a first mortgage for J60 per
cent, and if necessary It puts him
n touch with an institution that
will take a second mortgage lor
the remaining 20 per cent.
Average Man Aided
"This plan is primarily to helo
those living on moderate salaries
and incomes who have been hard
est bit by the shortage of houses
and th-i tousequent high rents."
A. W. Thompson, president of the
corporation, says.
"With this la mind, we have
set out to build modest, substan
tial, comfortable homes at low
coBt. These houses will have all
the conven'ences and necessities.
They will be good to look upon.
but they will not be showy, and
best oL all they. -will beworth ev
ery cent invested in them.
"We are simply applying to the
man who wants a home the mem
ods by, which mass production
has been successful, and giving
him the benefit of the saving In
costs'
Applications tor hbuses are
grouped into blocks of ten or
more, to get the benefit of -heavy
buying and concentrated supervis
ion. Ila-vic Plans Used i
The corporation has 11 basic
plans and will build houses' ot
four, five, s i and seven rooms, at
a cost of from $750 to $1000 a
room. From these basic plans a
limited number of other designs
can be evoived. The plans are
garded as the best possible for
this community.
Employes of a leading news
paper soon tilled a club, and de
cided to locate their colony in the
South Hil's district, while a large
party of Unlvers'ty o' Pittsburgh
professors took up the question
of buildine on land near the uni
