Variety Is Seen In Europe Today

Overshadowed by the more
famous Oberammergau Passion
Play is the religious festival Of
Einsiedeln, Switzerland, where
the classic "Great World Thea
ter" is performed every five
years on the steps of the Bene-
dictine Monestary, built in the
ninth century.
Six hundred townspeople take
part in the play, written by II
century Spanish playwright
Calderon de la Barca. Perform
ances run from June through
September.
Att he opposite end of the
cultural scale is the centennial
observance of the incorporation
of Nice and the Savoie region
into metropolitan France. The
colorful French Riviera region
will surpass its usual gay self
with receptions, balls, and must
cal extravaganzas, all with a
Napoleonic theme.

lily to Europe this summer by

Japanese Photo
Tour Planned

Photography fans who like to
see what makes the wheels go
round" can cobbine a visit to
the famous Yashica camery fac.
tory in Suwa, Japan, with a
tour of the most photogenic
sights of Japan.
Yashico, Inc, one of the big.
best manufacturers and export
ers of Photographic equipment
in the rapidly.growing japanese
industry, Is picking up 20 per-
cent of the cost of the all-inclu'
sive tour which leaves May IL
and returns May %. The com
plete package price of the trip
from New York is $1395.
Travellers will fly via North,
west Orient Airlines, and will
visit the Yashica factory, locat,
ed in the picturesque japanese
Alps. Also on the itinerary is
a visit to an authentic japanese
inn, where tourists have the
opportunity to really go native,

a fifth of Four Roses, a fifth
of Canadian Club, and a fifth
of the incompatible eight-year-
old Virgin Island rum, all for
$13. The same package deal
would set the customer back
more than $32 in Washington.
Although the most obvious
bargains are in liquor, prices on
French perfumes, European
silver, watches, cameras and
leather goods are very favor
able, ranging from one-third to
two-thirds of the American
price.
Tourism is practically the
sole source of income in the
islands, with a small assist
from the rum industry, Federal
appropriations and some pri-
vate industry.
Plans are in the making for
direct plane service to Harry S.
Truman field from various
cities in the U. S., after a 1000
feet extension to the main run
way is complete. At present the
islands air service consists
mostly of DC3s hopping from
San Juan, Peurto Rico, Is miles
to the west.
Fishing and swimming are
the main attractions for visi-
tors, with 10 nightclubs to take
up the long tropical evenings.
All the night spots are located
in Charlotte Aamlie, the capital.
Charter boats are available
for touring or fishing. Other
islands in the Antilles group
within easy reach of the Virgin
Islands are the British Virgin
Islands, Dutch and French
possessions, while charter and
cruise boats ply as far as
Trinidad, off the South America
coast.

| King-Sized Dilemma
|SeIIou+ Of Oberammagau
Blow TO Drama Coach Here

A man with a real problem is
Richard Ertzman, drama coach
at Sherwood High School,
Sandy Spring. He is seeking, SO
far unsuccessfully, a ticket %
the famous Passion Play, held
every 10 years in the little Aus
train village of Oberammersau.
Ertzman became interested in
seeing the play, which lasts
for eight hours, when he visited
Europe some years ago. Last
October, when he was living on
the west coast, he began to look
for a ticket, but found that all
individual sales were closed,
and that the only way he could
obtain the ducat was to buy
conducted tour of Europe with
the Passion Play thrown In.
81 didn't want q tour" re-
marked the 42-year-old theater
student, II can only just afford
to 60 to the play as 1t is"
Appeals to the German Con-
sulate In San Francisco, the
ticket office at Oberammergau,
the mayor of Oberammergau,
and the German Embassy have
all brought the same answer
no tickets available.
Accommodations have also
proved a problem, but lodgings
in Mittenwald, 80 miles from
the theater, were found by
friends of Iris Brose, Sher-
woods exchange student from
Germany.
Ertzman, who holds a mas
ters degree in drama, is work
ing for his doctorate, and hopes
to see the play several times,
to talk to the cast, and write
articles on the subject of the
play.
The Passion Play originated
400 years ago when the village
was decimated by the plague,
and the villagers prayed that
the little town would be spared
further deaths, in return for
which they would stage a play
depicting the life Of Christ
every 10 years. With the ex'
ception of the war years, the
Passion Play has continued
since.

Virgin Isles Gaining Favor
For Caribbean Vacations

cobbled streets, lined with
Danish colonial houses, and
may bump into Prince Axel,
brother of Denmark's reigning
king, shopping for Danish sill
yer or china in the little shops.
Where are we? Not as you
may suppose. in Denmark, but
in the Virgin Islands, basking
in the cloudless skies of the
Caribbean. Purchased by the
United States from Denmark in
1917 for 25 million dollars, the
islands still retain a strong
Danish flavor, mixed with the
traditional Caribbean gaiety
and music. This heady mixture
is rapidly taking the American
Virgins up the popularity scale
in the tourist industry.
In the last 10 years the
money spent annually by tour.
lists in the three islands of St
Croix, st. Thomas and st. John,
has risen from $2,700,000 to
more than $17,000,000. Eighty
six cruise ships stopped at the
islands in 1858, compared to
seven in 1850.
Weather in the Virgin Is
lands is as near ideal as we car
hope to find on this shrinking
globe, with less then a 10 pei
cen variation in summer and
winter temperatures. An aver
age of As inches of rain fall
annually.
Few visitors to the islands
return to their ship or plane
without carrying little box
specially designed to carry five
"fifths" of liquor. Prices are SC
low in this free port area thai
the connoisseur can go home
happily with a fifth of Dram
