son will attempt to live in the parts
assigned to them in the story of the
life of Christ.
Anton Lang, who became world
famous through his portrayal OF
Christ in the plays of 1900 and 1910
will again appear in the principal
part Andreas Lang will assume the
role Of Peter, Guidi Mayr, Judas
Maria Vert, Mary and Paula Rendl
the Magdalene.
All of the costumes for the gi-
gantic pageant were made in the
village at the cost of over $1,000,
the materials having ben obtained
in Berlin, Munich and Paris. Some
of the rarer materials were pro-
cured in Damascus and Jerusalem.
Until 1910 the play had been pro-
duced every ten years since 1884.
A production was planned for 1920
but the war led to a postponement.
Every ten years there are of nee
essity, many changes in the cast.
Anton Lang ties this year with Jo-
scph Mayr, in being chosen for the
part of Christ on three successive
occasions. Mayr, it is said died of
a broken heart when he was no
longer selected for the title role.
Johann-Zwink, on one occasion, so
closely identified himself with his
part--Judea, that carried away by
the tension of the scene, he tried
to hang himself.
In earlier times the play was per-
formed outside the village church
on platform of rough boards. Now
it is presented in an AUDITORIUM
seating 1000.
The play begins at eight o'clock
every morning and lasts until six
o'clock at night, with two hours in

delivering an unsatisfactory reply
to the allied memorandum. The
Russian note was ready for deliv-
