Ne,v Players, Scenery and Music
 To Mmk This Year's Passion Play

OBERAAdMERGAU, April 22.-- Marked contrast in the appearance and style of acting of the persons portraying Mary and Christ will be a feature of this years Passion Play, which opens in May.
 Tradition built up through the centuries of the Passion Plays his- tory has ruled that the mother of Christ should appear as a brun- nette. This year, however, a blonde, Ami Rutz will play the part and upset the long-standing rule. The new Mary also is more girlish than former actresses in the part. Her speaking voice is a melodious contralto.
 Alois Lang, playing the Christ, probably will interpret the role in marked contrast to the work of Anton Lang. Anton's manner of portrayal has become almost as tra- ditional as the brunette Mary. He is fair -hairedy and this year will speak the prologue.
 A more lyrical interpretation of the role of Christ is expected from Alois, and his dark hair and beard will increase the departure from the traditional impersonation by An ton.
 Changes have been made also in the play itself. The old text and musical score have been completely revised, and the stage and it's equipment have been modernized. Costumes and properties are being made by a large staff chosen from Oberammergau's people, under the supervision of George Lang, the stage manager who stands almost seven feet tall.
 Rehearsals are under way, and the 600 players in the cast, togeth- CT with the chorus and orchestra of 50 each, are becoming familiar with their parts. The dressing rooms are labelled according to their oc- cupants, with such designations as Roman Room" Room for Trad ers," and Room of the Priests"
