Actors as Wood Carvers

of the home industry that the old peo-
pie and young children take part in
the less difficult tasks.
A carving school is conducted, In
which the boys are trained to follow
the trade Of their fathers. AS rule
these pupils perfect themselves in the
manufacture of toys before they at
tempt figures.
Men who take leading parts in the
passion play direct the wood-carving
industry. 1t is their pride that the re-
productions of the characters they SO
devoutly represent on the stage shall
be true to life.
In the workshop of Anton Lang, who
in the passion play assumes the role
of Christ, particularly may be seen
the earnest artists at work, surround
ed by all sorts of carved objects, in
cluding, in addition to the well-known
figures in the sacred drama, orna-
ments for churches and affairs.
Anton Lang and his brother, Guido
have practically monopoly OF the
sale of carvings. They own studios
and exhibition rooms and these are
visited by hundreds of tourists annu-

During the nine tranquil years that
intervene between productions Of the
passion play at Oberammergau most
Of the actors in that wonderful drama
support themselves through their re-

the production of sacred figures and
objects.
A worldwide reputation is enjoyed
by the Christ carvers" Of Oberam-
mergau, as they are called. A popu-
lar play bears that name, and speci-
mems Of their wonderful handiwork
may be found in nearly every city OF
the globe.
Many of the carvings are sold to
such tourists, while others are sent to
nearby cities and placed upon the
market, drifting eventually all over
the world.
