SATURDAY, APRIL 25r 1923 THE CAPITAL JO U UN A L. SALEM, OREGON "PASSION PLAY" Over fifty voices arc to tie heard in the chorus of the Paaaion Play, which Is to be shown here at the Grand Theatre neit Tuesday and Wednesday. The story of the production ts as follows: In 1633, the village of Oberam mergau, in Bavaria, was visited by a terrible plague. On Its cessation the entire population made a vow to perform the passion play of our Savior every tenth year, out of gratitude, and as a means of re llglous instruction a vow which has ever since been faithfully ob served. The inhabitants of this secluded village have a rare union of artistic ability and cultivation, with perfect simplicity. Their familiarity with religious subjects Is even beyond what is usual In the Alpine parts of Germany, and the spectacle Is looked upon with the same feeling with which it originated devout and edifying. The impersonator of Chrict con s:ders 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 Tillage to act a part in this great event, and In order to do so they must show In their dally life that they are worthy of such an honor. Every village girl has an am bition to portray the part of Mary, the mother of Christ. In order to attain they must not, even In thought, do anything contrry to the virtuous and pure character to the mother of our Savior. Not to be considered fit to4 take part, however small. In this grand play, Is, In Oberammergnu, considered a great disgrace. To take a part away from an actor Is a shame that can hardly be borne. When properly equipped- and presented there Is not an attrac tion, before the world today in the way of an entertainment, so Im pressive, so pleasing, soul-stirring, heart-reaching, and uplifting as Is this wonderful creation In mov ing picture form. That It Is doing the world a great good no one can - deny. How grand the opportunity to witness these clear, beautiful life-motion pictur passing be fore us. tin fol dine in the most con Tinging and pleasing manner these scenes and incidents in the Christ life heretofore pictured In words only, and not understood by all. It is our Intention to give as near an exact reproduction of the original Oberammergnu play as possible. The highest point Is reached in the art of life-motion photography. Those who see it will be Interested and instructed $M FREED TO VISIT WIFE WHO JAILED M Lee Angeles, Cal., April 25. Several months ago Mrs. Elizabeth Bryson swore to a warrant charg ing N.
