many minutes they remain as still as stat

Only one scene in the whole Of the Pas
sion Play is taken from tradition apart
from the Bible. This is the episode Of st.
the Via Dolorosa.'
IMPRESSIVE SCENES.
A strange effect is produced by the inter-
polation at intervals during the changes OF
the scenes of a chorus. exactly in imitation
Of the old Greek tragedies. The singing of
the men and women in the chorus, together
with the orchestral accompaniment, forms
the music of the "Passionspiel" The chorus
performers stand in a semicircle on the
stage, the men on one wing and the women
on the other. All are dressed in ancient
classic style. The effect is exceedingly
striking.
The crucifixion scene is enacted in the
most literal aspect. Even the blood-shed-
ding is simulated by means Of a certain
mechanical device. At o'clock in the even
ing all is over. The vast throng pours out
OF the theater, and every house is soon full
OF guests partaking of the evening meal.
lodged in the house Of one Of the characters
in the chorus. His picture 1 had seen in
hundreds of shop windows in Munich, so
that I recognized him at once when the
performance began. He was a very hand
some and striking figure, arrayed in flowing
classic robes, with long waving hair falling
on his shoulders, and with a. fine gilded
crown on his head. Herr Schanzler was
manifestly full of the grave sense OF the
Importance Of his part, though 1t was but
a minor one. His wife was a most atten-
tive and gracious hostess, and the children
of this household were charming little crea-
lures.
1t is the custom In Oberammergau to re-
gard the principal parts In the Passion
Play as far as possible as being hereditary
in certain families. The dramatic instinct
has been highly developed among these
villagers. Its combination with the re-
ligious feeling has produced noble type of
character. Hence even the fattering at
tention and patronage of the whole world
outside has done nothing whatever to spoil
the simplicity of these upright Bavarian
highlanders.
They make no attempt at fleeing their
visitors. The profits of the performances
are, of course, considerable, and these are
entirely devoted to the good of the whole
community. The actors are awarded only
fair remuneration for their time and
trouble Much of the time of the villagers
is taken up by the rehearsals. which are
frequently repeated during the whole in
terval of the ten years. Here is the secret
of the graceful and dignified style which
distinguishes these humble enthusiasts.
