OBERAlfMERGAU.
TN quaint medieval room, with deep set

seated at long, narrow table in the time

At one end sat the host, an Englishman
from the University of Oxford, DR.. Herbert

American woman of long residence in the vii
lage, both of them this year early guests OF
the Passion Play An irresistible loadstone
drew them every decade to this spot in the
Bavarian Tyrol.
1t was Sunday evening three weeks before
the first performance of 1922. Morning mass
and evening vespers had been faithfully at
tended and the afternoon rehearsal of the
Passion Play at the theater building. behind
closed doors, was over for next to the last
Sunday.
The host anxious to show in his own way
an appreciation of all the goodness that had
come to him in this village of the Passion
Play, was now proposing toast to the
'Players' and to the success of the comjno
play.
From the other end of the table the Amerj
can woman, IN her best Sunday German, was
toastlng the long friendship that had existed
between herself and her friends in Oberam-

Play, but in turn became the stage managers
also, training the new role bearers and super
vising the entire management. Father
Daisenbereer came to the village priest in
1845 and remained until his death in 1884.
Father Heimbucher has been here but six
months, but he has already the hearts of
his people His fine tenor voice is often heard
in the church choir. when the assistant Off
ciates at the altar while as violinist he is
member Of the musical club, playing also most
of the other instruments, together with the
piano. If passes the rectory in the long
winter evenings he is sure to hear the music of
violin and piano as played by the father and
his assistant, and so it came that it was the
music Of these two that entertained the inter
national dinner party Of this Sunday evening.
1t while the priest was playing and
singing that ! chanced to notice the face of
Anton Lang and watch the play of expression
upon his features he sat wrapped in thought,
occasionally lifting his head in unconscious

of Nazareth he looked sitting in that upper

influence Of this play, is the hope of the Obe1-
