Foreign visitors to Bavaria find a
iemple-like atmosphere about Oberam-
mergau, while Munich has become a
resort for money changers. The viii
layers of Oberammergar are giving all
their energy and enthusiasm to their
particular parts in the Passion Play,
for from the oldest inhabitant to the
youngest child each has his part in
the great drama. and even the ticket
collectors feel that there is dignity in
their work.
The visitors already srrived seek
the acquaintance of. the actors prior
to the formal opening performance
Some American missionaries have
come on special leave from India to
witness the spectacle. American girls
nurses with the American forces in
Germany. also are there. fraternizing
with the players In the holy drama.
Earnest faces and long hair give the
village a Biblical atmosphere. the entire
population being imbued with the mes
sage of the Passion Play.
All who go to Oberammergau can get
one day accommodations as there are
$500 beds in the village and it's inn
mediate vicinity. that number exceeding
the number of tickets issued for any one
performance. The demand is so great
that preparations are being made to
give more than the originally planned
two performances weekly. As the thea
ter seats 4.300 and 1000 persons will
take part in the production, the authori-
ties are asking visitors not to stay longer
than two days. so as to give place to
others.
The atmosphere of Munich, notwith-
standing the efforts of governmental
and tourist agencies. Is not hospitable
to visitors The municipal authorities
collect 700 marks as tax upon all for
eigners staying more than twenty-fouI
hours and 1000 marks when they stay
over a week. Registration with the po.
lice is an unpleasant nuisance. requiring
half a day.
In many OF the shops the foreigner
is looked upon askance business Is done
in q condescending manner and an at
tempt is made to charge double. unless
one Is met with a refusal to SELL The
people believe, apparently, that for
egners are responsible for high food
prices. and though hotels have imported
large stocks from the outside there are
still agitators complaining that the for
eigners will eat the natives cut Of their
homes.
Munich to-day, apart from being a
central shrine for the music lover. has
its old charm. But stupid political
chauvinism is likely to be Injurious to
the Bavarians unless the Government
makes known its views as to the real
advantages which Germany enjoys
through the presence of foreigners VINO
leave their good money behind.
