BY WILLIAM T.. CUhIlS,
Written for The Star and the on'caso necofu'
The extraordinary success Of the ober-
ammergau Passion Play Sast summer mas
excited the envy Of other towns In Aus
tria and Germany. You may expect q
large crop of similar performances.
Already we hear of three or four pro-
tected. At least one has been officially
announced for next season at Eisenach'
q lovely old town in the Thuringlan tor-
est, where Martin Luther went to school
when he was boy.
There. too. is Wartburg Castle. where
Luther took refuge, in 1921, after the
Diet of Worms, and where he translated
the Bible into German, and threw MS INK
stand at the devil. 1t is an interesting
fact that the same castle is the scene OF
wagner's opera Tannhauser.
The people of Eisenach have organized
a stock company and are to give q new
Passion Play, written from a Protestant
point of view, with hired actors, re-
cruited from the principal theaters OF
Germany.
This is an entirely new departure. how
ever 1t is doubtful whether presenta-
ton Of the life of Christ by professionals
will meet with the approval and support
that have been given in such remarka-
Bile manner to those simple and earnest
peasants at Oberammergau.
Passion plays and miracle plays. found-
ed upon Scr pture history and the legends
of the saints. have always been given
among the Germans and the Spaniards.
They are given even in Mexico and other
Latin-Afnerican countries. The Pueblo
Indians at Taos. New Mexico. have for
centuries celebrated Good Friday with a
presentation OF the greatest of all TRACE
dies in rude way.
So long ago as 1894, the Corpus Christi
festival has been celebrated in Roman
Catholic countries by miracle plays. In
which priests and monks have taken

costumes since 1903 The designs have
not varied since that time. to any extent.
The costumes and properties belong TO
the village and have been paid for out OF
the receipts from the plays. There are
two complete sets, enc for fair and one
for rainy weather and for an emergency.
Every ten yearS-for. YOU know, there is
an interval of a decade between presen-
tations-many of them have to be re-
newed.
They are made under the direction OF
the ccstumer of the Royal Opera House
at Munich. The work is done entirely
by peasant women of Oberammergau.
The peasant actors were never trained
for their parts until thirty years ago,
when a native of the village connected
with the Imperial Theater at Vienna
came back to his old home to supervise
the presentation. He corrected the incon-
gruities and undramatic situations and
introduced a great deal of art without
impairing the simplicity of the perform
ance.
Since then. every ten years, the villag-
ers have had professional advice and in
struction from the Imperial Theater in
Vienna and the Royal Theater at Munich.
Big Attendance This Year.
The success Of the play was never so
complete as it was last summer. The
attendance was more than twice as large
as it ever was before.
The official report has not yet been
made, but the most conservative esti-
mates give a minimum OF 100000 patrons.
You will hear all the way up to 100000.
The minimum figure is probably nearer
the truth Cooks tourist agency CLAIMS
to have sold over 100000 tickets.
The average payment per person was
$13. which covers the two performances
and thirty-sIx hours hotel accommoda-
tions, FIVE meals and two lodgings. This
would make the total receipts more than
a million and a quarter dollars, and for
the play alone half a million.
The actual receipts for the year 1900
were $2J6,327, and the net profit was
$57,O60. One-third was set apart for the
repair and renewal OF costumes and
scenery; one-third went into the village
treasury and the other third was di-
vided among the 700 villagers-men. wom-
en- and children-who take part in the
performances.
Every one of them is not only citizen.
but a native Of Oberammergau. The first
rule is that every performer must have
been born in the village and reside there.
There have been several serious dis
putes over the ambition of certain citi-
zens who have moved away to hold their
places in the cast, and return to par
ticipate in the performance every ten
years. These claims have been unani
mously rejected by the village council,
which exercises a general supervision
over all matters pertaining to the play.
Division Of Profits.
In the divisions of the profits some
performers receive only. a few marks.
others receive several hundred. The the
DRY of the division is based Upon the loss
of earnings from their regular occupa-
tons.

Americans Best Patrons.
The American patronage has also been
important and profitable for the wagner
festivals at Munich, which have been
arranged to catch the flow OF tourists
to and from Oberammereau. This has
been easy, because Munich is the nearest
and most convenient stopping place. and
special trains have been arranged to run
to and from Oberammergau at the most
convenient hours.
There has been a good deal Of COM
plant, however, of the extortfonate
c..arges Of the Munich hotels, which have
increased their prices 5O, aio' IN some
cases 100, per cent, during the Oberam-
mergau season, and have jusified 1t On
the ground that the demand Tor accom-
modations las been unprecedented.
The Wagner festivals have been largely
attended by Americans, but many OF them
will never come again on account or
the impositions they have been compelled
to submit to.
The Mozart Festival.
The Mozart festival at Salzburg. which
has become perennial, has also had large
American patronage. 1 have heard no
complaint of extortion from that source
and it has resulted in an. extraordinary
revival of interest In Mozart's music
throughout the world.
Salzburg, as you know, was Mozart's
birthplace. His father was music
teacher, and his grandfather also. Botn
of them were leaders of the court or
chestra and the choirs Of the cathedral
and were voluminous composers.
Mozart's father was the author OF a
School for the Violin, the standard
text book from the day it was published
in 1856 for q century or mole. Wolfeang
Mozart, the great composer. was born
that year, and began to compose music
when he was only nve years old.
Some of his Juvenile compositions have
been preserved. He was considered
wonder, of course.
When he was eight years old his father
took him and his sister, Mar a Anna,
five years older. on con ert tour
throughout Europe. The brother and
sister made a great sensation as infant
prodigies.
They played before nearly all the SOW
sreigns of Europe, including George III
and Queen Charlotte of England. who
were both extremely fond OF music.

of the church's authority over that of

due solely to the fact that the histories
gave facts impartially. Contrasting
these with the histories used in the
Catholic schools. lie quoted from the
