Unique Dramatic Event That Is
Enacted In the Little BavarIan
Village of Oberammergau Every
len Years Because of a Vow
Made During a Plague.
BY WALTON WILLIAMS.

HE Passion play Of Oberammer-
gau has become perhaps the
- most famous single dramatic
event on earth. 1t is certainly
the most unique. Acted by peasants,
The chief of whose required Qualifica-
lions are religious devotion and purity
Of life, its dramatic force is equal to
that seen upon any stage, albeit occu-
pied by the worlds greatest actors.
The Passion play is presented every
zen years. the theory being that it shall,
aot be cheapened by frequency. Ober-
lmmergau is a little Bavarian village
surrounded by mountains. 1t has not
been modernized except in the neces-
AIRY features of sewerage and santa
Jon. In all other respects 1t is now
Is 1t has been for centuries. The peas
lnts who present the play are wood
:arvers and farmers. The financial re-
urn given to each actor is most mod
,st, scarcely sufficient to pay for the
lctual time given the play. Yet the
thief ambition of each of these simple
villagers Is to be an actor in the "Pas-
,ionspiel"
1t was in 1888 that the plague swept
oberammergau, the harvest of death
claiming one-fourth Of the population.
The survivors met and resolved that
very ten years thereafter they would
present the sacred scenes of the Pas
don. after which the plague was mi
aculously stayed. That is the story,

" the cross appeared and gentle
roice spoke to him: my son, are you
weary? Are you heavy hearted? Do
rou weep? Remember my agony. I
lave endured more than thou"
Rushing to the church, the peasant
'ang the bell until all the villagers had
gathered, whereupon he recounted his
lream and proposed that the people
enact the sorrows of the Master on
very tenth year. The vow was taken
hen and there, and the plague speedi-
ended. All this is little more than
egend. The one fact that is not leg
md is that the Passion play has been
enacted every tenth year through the
centuries that followed, the only ex-
.eption being once when nearly all the
iblebodied men in the village were
rbsent in the wars.
Play Lasts All Day.
The play follows the Biblical narra-
i've with great fidelity and has been
adapted from time to time by the vii
dRe DTleStS. act pIcCtutu
BY tableau, usually taken from the
Did Testament. There is also a cho-
nus, the songs of which explain the
ableaux. The play lasts all day, with
TWO hours intermission at noon. 1t Is
scheduled to be presented twenty-nine
tines during the season. which runs
from May till September. In case the
spectators on any given day are more
than can be accommodated In the
heater, which seats over 1000, the
play Is repeated on the following day.
As this is liable to happen frequently
he number Of performances may
reach to at least fifty during the sum-
ner. Indications are that greater
crowds will visit Oberammergau than
ever before, about three-fourths of
them being Americans. The dates Sc;
lected are as follows: May 16, %, 20,

Until 1880 the play was given In the
open fields. Then the theater was
erected, but without covering. In
recent years it has been rooted over,
but the stage is still open so that the
scenes have background Of noun
tains. The surroundings, the theme
and the acting are all impressive in
the highest degree. Applause is never
permitted. Perhaps the best concep-
ton Of the play itself can be given by
a synopsis:

thus form fitting Introduction to the

The Fool and the Auto.

Ii man should put rubber tires on
the wheels Of locomotive and drive
the same at express speed or anywhere
near it over an ordinary wagon road
he would be pronounced suicidal lu-
matte, says an exchange. Yet this is
exactly what men presumably of sound
mind are doing every day with their
motorcars. An automobile is practi-
cally locomotive, and, like the latter,
it can be driven with safety at any
speed faster than jog trot only on q
specially prepared track free from OBJ
structions that might derail it. ditch it
or cause it to collide with rocks, tele-
graph poles and other things by the
roadside. An elaborate system of sig
nails is required to prevent collisions
between locomotives on the rails, but
our road locomotives zigzag over I'M
even and treacherous roadbeds, turn
"hairpin" curves on steep grades and
take Il hundred other chances that
would make railroad engineers hair
stand on end. The daily bulletin of
automobile fatalities ought to bring
the conviction that common roads are
not built for running locomotives at
even the lowest speed now authorized
by law and that the regulation of auto
mobiles needs to be made stricter and
unfiinchingly enforced rather than lib
eraliZed
