Critics Attend Rehearsal.

Three hundred actors impersonate their

Anton Lang. According to one observer,
the peculiar Tyrolese dialect, the stark,

manners of the men and women taking
part combine to give the production a
poetic naivety" absent in the Ober-

PEASANTS To PRODUCE
PASSION PLAY At ERL
Hamlet of Northern TyroI to
Win RenoWn as Rival of
Oberammergau.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
BERLIN, May Is, 1912
Although there are to be no perform
ances at Oberammergau this year, trav
elers upon the continent will not be with
out an opportunity to see the Passion
Play.
The diminutive hamlet of Fri, in the
Northern Tyrol, has suddenly leaped into
fame as rival of the more celebrated
Bavarian village. and a possible COM
petitor for the first honors in the repre-
sentation of the sacred drama. Erl lies
in the valley of the Inn, almost within
stones throw of the Bavarian border
1t is typical little Tyrolean village,
with a picturesque group Of peasants
ately large church.
For centlries-since 1900, according to
some estimates Passion Play has been
given here at intervals. the last perform
ance taking place ten years ago.
Villagers as Actors.
AS at Oberammergau, the actors are
selected from the inhabitants of the town
and its environs. but while Oberammer-
gau has waxed rich and famous. Erl has
remained almost unknown. The perform
ances have been given primarily for the
natives themselves. and have been almost
exclusively patronized by them. This
year the people of the village, spurred
on. perhaps. by the enormous success OF
the last Oberammergau season. have de-
cided to emerge from their seclusion and
claim the notice of the outer world.
large theater,. capable of accommo-
dating 1.5OO spectators. has been erected.
The stage, which stretches the full width
OF the building. Is amply broad enough
to admit of imposing effects in the han
ding of the large body Of supernumeraries
employed. A huge restaurant has been
completed and neghboring farmhouses
are being converted into pensions and
hotels. Before the season is over 1t is ex-
pected the little village will have been
visited by thousands OF strangers.

REDUCTION OF
COTTON IS TO
BE OBTAINED
"ROCK HILL" PLAN IN FAVOR
Governor Brown and Commits
SiOneF Hudson For II

The Rock Hill Plan" to reduce
the cotton acreage in Georgia has
been started by the appointment q
Frank Weldon, of Atlanta, as state
manager or superintendent. He was
appointed by Governor Joseph NJ.
Brown, Commissioner T. G. Hudson,
of the Agricultural Department. and
by President R. F. Duckworth, of the
Georgia Farmers Union.
The plan is to get written pledge
from every farmer to reduce his COT
ton acreage this year. Some will cut
out more than others, but the aim is
to get an average cut of % per cent.
in the cotton planted and to make
this up by raising more corn, pota-
toes, cane, hay, hogs and other food
products.
The Rock Hill Plan, which is very
simple, is, in brief, as follows:
A superintendent is appointed for
each cotton growing state He will
appoint a committee of three live men
for each county AS a rule, an eff
fort will be made to get farmer A
banker and a merchant on the county
committees. These committees will
raise fund with which to pay can
vassers to see every farmer in thei"
respective counties and to get them
to sign the pledge
This movement is heartily endors-
ed by the Farmers Union most of the
merchants, bankers and other bust
ness men of the South
Governor Joe Brown was the first
to sign in Georgia Commissioner
Hudson was the second Gov. Brown
pledged to cut his cotton acreage OF
his Cherokee county farm from 81
acres last year to 81 this year. This
is a reduction of exactly % per CEN
Col. Hudson will cut his one-third
from 800 acres to 200 acres.
we are Sunerlng from an over
production of cotton and an unde
production of food crops" said Mr.
Weldon. Our 1911 cotton crop vii
bring about $1OO,OOOO0O, not includ-
ing the seed, and we will send on,
$l75,00O,OOO for corn, wheat, hay,
meat, butter, eggs, poultry mules
horses, etc, We talk about balanced
rations for stock. We want to make
better balanced crops. Georgia ought
not to send a dollar out of the state
for any of the above named products
but on the other hand we ought 10
sell to other states millions of dollaFe
worth of such commodities.
