the women banquets and conquests
would alike be failures.
This event has been named the con-
ference Of Governors. The news
papers have constantly referred TO IL

about Hon. Alfred Iay-or, presenI
Governor of Tennessee; Hon. west

Virginia, and Hon. John |. Cox, form

Governor This and Governor That,
and Governor and Governor. But the
thing want to emphasize IS that the
women, love Of whom has always been
recognized as the first essential prln-
ciple of bliss are the real governors
of both Virginia and Tennessee.
Wherever Kiwanians and Governors
are the palm goes to the ladies. Every
woman everywhere is the governor OF
somebody. The womeH are the gov
ernors of Governors. Surely 1t IS the
fair wome.l-fair Of face and far OF

women thank God are naturally brave.

SELECTIONS FOR CAST
OF PASSION PLAY MADE
Anton Lang to Portray Leading
Character for Third Time ut
Oberammergau.

Oberammergau, Jan. 3.-The long
list of characters for the Passion play
which will be produced here a number
of times in 1922. has been selected,
and rehearsals have begun. The chief
roles will be played again by veterans,
some of whom have participated in
the presentations for forty years.
Anton Lang will portray the char
acter of Christ for the third time. An
ton Lechner will be prolonguist for the
second time Other characters will be:
Peter, Andreas Lang; John, Melchoi1
Breitsamter; Judas, Guido Mayr;
Calaphas, Hugo Ruiz; King Herold
Gregor Breitsamter; Annas, Sebastian
Lang; PLATE, Hans Mayr; Mary,
Martha Seitz; Magdalene, Paula Rendl
One of the last selections was Guido
Diemer for choir leader. There has
not been a performance Of the play
for eighty years that a Diemer was
not leader of the choir or one of the
important singers in it. Guido Die
mer took part in the war, first as an
artillerist and later as an aviator. In
1919 he dedicated his life to the study
of singing, and shortly afterward ap-
peared with pronounced success in
various church concerts.
The Passion play committee decided
not to violate Oberammergau tradi-
ton by permitting pictures to be
taken of the play. American moving
picture representatives approached
the committee with offers of millions
Of marks, but their proposals were
promptly rejected
