PASSION PLAY nPFNINC " NIGHT CLUB in i i in 11 1 1 ii ii 1 1 unnr onnnroOiNU nUUL OUOULOO : Fassnacht Gives Fine Por trayal of Christus in Ash- . land Park Pageant Play Continues 3 Nights GRANTS PASS LION (By lira Fowcll) , Depicting the life of tho Chrlstus. hie Inheritance from seven genera . Hons, Adolf Fassnacht last eve ning gave a wonderful portrayal of the famous character as the lead ing actor in the Freiburg Posalon Play, presented by the Freiburg. Baden. Germany cast In Llthla park, Ashland, under the sponaor hlp of the Ashland Chamber of Commerce. Fassnacht, who ! recognized throughout tho world for work In tho play, resembled the portraits of the Saviour os palnte.l by fam ous old-world masters. Otnors In the cast, especially Mary, the ' mother of Jesus, taken by Elsa Fassnacht, John the Beloved, played by Joseph Meier, and Willi Eltrndt as Judas, brought to mind the descriptions in the New Testa ment of these people. ' . , Follow lileul Tho appearances, characteristics and actions of the cast and the settings gave the observer a sat isfactory enjoyment, probably be cause it so nearly resembled tho Imaginary representation of the events go outstanding in Ulblicai history. ' ' ' Stage settings wore designed by Adolf Fassnacht, and excellent lighting arrangements added to tho effect of many of the tableaux. The first appearance of Jesus In the production was his tri umphal entry Into Jerousalem, where he was acclaimed by the multitudes. The conference hold by the scribe and priests to plot against hlin, his farewell and de parture from Bethany and Judas' first consultation for the betrayal wore covered , In the opening ' scenes. Ono of the most beautiful pic tures In the production was that of the Ijist Supper, where the twelve were gathered with Jesufl, and the hours of anguish on Mount Olivet, followed by his betrayal and capture. Outstanding- riinrnnters Judas was, a character to.be ' pitted as he begged for the releise of Jesus, and his hurling of ihe thirty pieces of silver at the feet of the priests when he realised his mistake too late, was a superb bit of acting. Christ's appearance ;oe fore Pilate and King Herod, iihn mocking crowds and their deromd for the freedom of Barrabbas were also outstanding. . Climaxing the work of tho priests to rid Judea :of Christ, was his crucifixion at Golgotha, along with the two thlevos, mldM. the storm and earthquake. Thb glorious res urrection and triumph of the Sav iour concluded the play, with the large choir singing the "Hallelujah Chorus," as a tableau of the risen Christ was given. The Freiburg players are being assisted by a large number of val ley people who comprise the chorus and orchestra, under the direction of Ralph V. van Court right. By special arrongement th, "Members of 'the Grants Pass Uons club voted nt Thursday noon's luncheon meeting to close up the affairs of the organization at next week's meeting," says the Grants Puss Courier. "The" action followed two weeks discussions of the club's attendance and value to Its members and the community. t "Undoubted benefits to members who nttend regularly did not over balance lack of benefits to other members who Joined only to at tend Irregularly and then drop out, It was decided, and the vote by ballot revealed a disinclination to continue the meetings. " ' "Membership. In the club, had been cut to 25 recently In an ef fort to eliminate non-attending members. The club properties and funds In the treasury will be con sidered at next Thursday's meet ing, and .disposition of money on hand decided." 4-H CLUB GLASS WILL END TODAY HigfoWay Bbhd Debt Wanes .
