Destruction Of Passion Play Par
aphernalia an Act Of
Providence.

Clinton, Ia, March 3I-In the de
struction by fire at the Ottawa. Ill,
theatre Of the Sam E. Allen passion
pictures, which were to have Deen
brought to Iowa for tour opening in
this city, Clinton theatrical man says
he sees the hand of providence. when
the passion play CT Oberammergau is
put on the stage for pecuniary profit, .
the Clinton man says, something al
ways happens. know of a dozen
cases similar to the one at Ottawa.
The films burn or are DESTROYED in some
manner, or the snow goes to the wall
for otner reasons. The first passion
play was produced in San Francisco
fifteen years ago by man named
Morse. who was found dead one morn
ing. and the show broke up. At vari-
ous times during the past decade the
films of passion play pictures have
been destroyed, notably one big pro,
duction at Freeport. ILL.,, and another
at Kansas City four years ago. / be-
lieve the burning of the films at Ottawa
on Good Friday night. the day on
which the crucifxion CT Christ is com
merorated, was providential. ("
There had been large sale for the
passion play. which was booked for the
local theater last night. Early yester-
day morning a message reached the
management of the Clinton theater tell
ing of the destruction of the entire
paraphernalia of the company at Otta-
wa in theateI fire.
