STAGE FOR THE PASSION PLAY.n

The new theatre ha: a center stage for the
tableaux vivants and an ante-stage for the
grand professions, which form a great part
Of the production. The center stage is
framed by the facads Of a Greek temple, and
has, for the first tin g, all the appointments OF
modern Rage technique. Both sides Of the
temple are ianked by the gates Of the city,
and beyond them appear the streets of Jeru-
salem. Then follow the proud palaces Of
PLATE and the hiEh priest, Annas, on either
side Of which ar" large halls for the reception
of the singers and the r-epresentants OF the
populace Of Jerusalem
All these thing have been arranged with con-
summate skill, and the effect is greatly height
