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

Just In time to be recognized by a
traffic officer and jailed on ihe
almost forgotten warrant. And In
jail he remained, despite the sick

bring her husband to what she be
lieved was her deathbed, until
word of his plight reached them
and a scrawled note signed by the
sufferer was presented In superior
court yesterdav and Judge J. W.

"All Hollywood knows them the

understands so much of its stars
which the world never knows.
They flame in swift and spangled
