mergau, Bavaria, portraying the
week in the life of Christ. Those
who had seen the drama in NOV
ing pictures developed in this cOun-
try realized after attending the lee
ture last night the marvellous diff
ference The audience was actual
ly surprised at such wonderful
views of art offering the real pic
lures of the drama taken in the
village where it was played. DR..
Violette said that. no picture ma
chine was, allowed to take the pic
lures in Oberamergau.
In giving the history of this ia
nous drama, DIR. Violette said that
it was prompted when a plague
swept through Germany and de-
stroyed the inhabitants of town
after town in 1929. That outposts
were established to prevent the,
spread of The disease in that day
when little was known about sci
ence, but that one man passed an
outpost and came into Bavaria who
had the plague and caused the
death of his family and himself, and
later began to destroy the inhabit-
ants of the little country Finally
priest persuaded the people to as
semble in the snow on bended
knees to invoke the help of Cod,
pledging themselves to present the
Passion Flay every 10 years as an
act of devotion and conservation.
The firsto play was given in 1888
and had been Kept up and given
every 10 years since, save three
times, due mainly to war. The
World war prevented the drama
from being carried out in 1920, be-
cause so many of the characters
were killed III the war, but it was
played in 1922, and the next per-
formance will be, in 1904
Players are chosen said DR..

leaders today or tomorrow.
But a similar proposition from the
same source come weeks ago met
little encouragement, and it was
considered doubtful if the latest
move to end the, dispute would
succeed.

WR!GHTS MARK
SMASHED Twice
German Glider Stays Aloit -Four
Hours, Five Minutes

Provincetown, Mass, July 80 R
The American gliding record set
by Orville Wright in 1911 has been
broken here for the second time in
a week by Peter Hesselbach, Ger
man fiier, whose latest effort kept
him in the air four hours and five
minutes.
Last week Hesselbach stayed
aloft IS minutes, which was ~ min
utes better than Wright's early
achievement. Yesterday, favored by
a brisk west, northwest breeze
which swept the sand dunes of Cape
Cod, Hesselbach jumped into his
motorless plare In an attempt to
better the world record of IA hours
and % minutes.
Good Conditions
Conditions were SO suspicious
that he refused to delay even for
breakfast and with his launching
crew hastily assembled, his plane,
the Darmstadt, was catapulted off
the 10o-foot bluff which at Corn
Hill juts abruptly over the waters
Of Massachusetts bay.
Within five minutes he had gain
ed altitude and thereafter he
swooped and circled gracefully over
a course between Corn Hill and
North Truro, edging farther and
farther away from shore as he man.
cuvered his machine to safer
heights.
Prospects for record breaking
flight seemed so good that his two
associates, Captain Paul Roehre and
Major Nergne Chapelle, directed the
camp employees to prepare bonfires
which might serve as beacons at
night.
Forced Down
After about four hours, however,
Hesselbach, who had turned inland,
disappeared over ridge and failed
to reappear. A search had begun
when q messenger brought word
that the glider was down at Well
fleet
Hessenbach explained that a
change in the wind had made 1t i'm
perative for him to land or face the
alternative Of having to soar out to
sea.
The f1ers came here several
| weeks ago. They hope to open a
gliding school.

A tentative program is now being
considered for Virginia Dare day,
which will commemorate the first

off these isolated shores quarter
OF a century ago by the Wright

However, whether or not the two
