London, Eng, June 6.-The lord

open air theater close to a large city
on the Channel coast

for a garden site In which we shall
erect stage and stands having ac-
commodation for several thousand
spectators. We propose TO begin pre-
senting the play in the first week in
July and shall give performances every

company Of 25g. OF whom - will be
principals from Oberaumergau the
other 225 being 'supers' engaged in
this country. All the words are spoken
or sung in German. and the 'supers' do
not speak or sing"
The Passion Play was first per-
formed in 1874 in accordance with a
vow made by the inha itauts during
a plague that the supreme tragedy
would be represented by them every
10 years. Tradition has # that the
plague Immediately disappeared.
