FAMOUS IN ROLE.
Cberammergau Player Talks
With Washington Woman.

MISS MARTA VET. who has made
AN1 world-famous her portrayal Of
the beautiful role Of Mary, the mother
of Christ. in the Passion Play as pro-
duced this year in Oberammergau. is
not much older than the average
American fiapper. She is twenty-five.
and was selected to play this impor-
tant part because she showed. such
unusual adaptability to this role in
preceding training. She lives in the
little Bavarian yillage which has be.
OF artistic ideals. In fact, most Of
the players in the "Passian Play" are
artists-principally wood carvers and
mural painters. All of them use only
religious subjects in their work
Miss Gertrude Brigham. secretary
OF the Art and Archaeology Society OF
Washington. who was abroad this
summer. met and talked with many
OF the players and found them very
interesting. They are no longer the
turies ago. Miss Brigham found Miss
Veit especially charming and held
many conversations with the gifted
young girl while the latter tended a
counter in the village souvenir shop.
where she earned her living selling
players and beautifully carved objects.
Miss Eeit is "a delightful young
girl" said Miss Brigham. She Is SO
simple and unassuming and so mod
estly proud Of having been chosen to
interpret the role OF the mother Of
Jesus. She is quite as full of fun and
life as American girls. yet she takes
her part in the play very seriously"
1t is interesting to know that one
Of the regulations regarding the
choosing of women and girls to i'm
personate the feminine roles in the
Passion Play" prohibits the giving
of any role to a married woman.

NAMES FOR GIRLS
And What They Mean

CUSAN Is one of the quaintest names
~ for girls and, although not used
so much today as few generations
ago. is generally popular. 1t is the
English version of Schuschannah. the
name used in the Scriptures. This is
originally Hebrew and means lily. or
white lily. The symbol Of this name
represents naturally purity" Queen
Susannah was known as the Lily OF
Trif1is. She Is said to have been mar
tyred by the Moslems.
One of the best-known stories about
Susan is usually called. the story of
Susannah and the elders, al hough II
is also known as THE Judgment of
Daniel" The tale relates how Su-
sannah, the wife Of Joacim, celebrated
for her beauty and virtue, was falsely
accused of adultery by two of the
elders, whose own sinful advances
she had scorned. She was condemned
to death on their evidence. but was
saved by wise young Daniel, who put
would be called the third degree and
doomed them to the fate they had
schemed for Susannah.
Authorities differ as to the proper
place to record this tale Some insist
that it should precede the first chap
ter of the book of Daniel. and so it is
placed in the old Latin and Arabic
versions. but others place it as a
thirteenth chapter chapter at the end
of the present book. At any rate. the
subject so inspired the great Dutch
painter. Rembrandt. that he made one
of his greatest paintings depicting
the scene of the beautiful Susannah
being tried before the elders. Queen
Wilhelmina of Holland owns the orig
inal of this picture.
The greatest American Susan to
date is Susan Brownell Anthony. who
was born in Adams. Mass, in Febru-
ary. 1920 She was of Quaker par
entage and taught school from 1850 to
1855. In 1852 she organized the Wom-
ems New York State Temperance So
ciety. and she was an active agitator
for the abolition Of slavery She is
best known, however. for the notable
part she played as pioneer in the
movement for woman suffrage in this
country. She was Joint author with
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Mrs.
Matilda J. Gage of THE History OF
Woman Suffrage" published in 1881.
Handel. one OF the greatest musical
composers. wrdte an oratorio' entitled
SUSaNnah. Wh1Ch is well known
among ecclesiastical music lovers.
Susan has some very odd variations
as a name. There is Sue. the most
common nickname for Susan. Every
body has heard Of the clever little
comedy sketch called "Sue from Sioux
city" which was one OF the princi-
pal hits of comparatively recent
musical show. Then there is ''Sukey.'
a very peculiar sounding name. and
not exactly an agreeable one. The
French forms are more attractive, be-
ing SuSanne. SuZette and Suzon. The
Swiss have Zosa and Zusi and the
Spanish Suzonfta Is very euphonious.
