THE Christ OF THE PLAY
DR.PORTER WRITES ANTON LANG
ABOUT PASSION PLAY
Reply is That All Necessities of Life
Are Lacking and Ten Year Event
Cannot Be Held

On August 1, 1919, DIR. Porter of
this city wrote Anton Lang, tn e
"Christus" of the Passion Play at
Oberammergau, Bavaria, urging him
to hold that celebrated play if possible,
in the near future and writing that
IF that play were given for a season
as it was in 1910 it would have much
influence upon the people of the whole
world in restoring order and bringing
about universal peace, etc." The re-
ply was:
Oberammergau, December 9, 1919.
Pension Daheim.
Dear Sir: Your letter has taken a
long time to reach US. In regard to
it regret deeply that | am obliged to
tell you that we are unable to give
the Passion Play this year, though
the villagers would love to do so. But
alas, we have no railways, no coal, no
food, no milk, or cloth. The struggle
Tor ones daily life is just as hard as
before. You are so far away that you
are probably unable to realize this.
We have scarcely enough for our
selves, how could we feed outsiders
Everything is become so costly that we
can feel sadder, that on account of it
we have to give up the idea of giving
the Passion Play, which would be the
finest thing to close the hatred of hui
man beings and nations. We do hope
1921 will bring us the Passion Play.
With all good wishes, / am,
Sincerely yours,
ANTON LANG.
