Thursday, July 10, 1930 APPEL DESCRIBES THE PASSION PLAY has a seating capacity of 5,200. On June 22nd the date of our arrival, the play had been given seven times without a vacant seat. The players are chosen from the residents only. Anton Lang, whotook the part of Christus in 1900 and 1910 and 1922 has been succeeded by a. nephew, Alois Lang. The former is the outâ€" standing figure in the community, known and admired the world over, He renders the prologues. ‘The great rowds assembling for the play reâ€" mind one of a county fair or a Billy Sunday revival meeting. The gross proceeds of a regular performance amount to about $20,000. They are divided as follows: oneâ€"third for exâ€" penses of the play, oneâ€"third for the participants and oneâ€"third for the benefit of the community. : Dates from 1634 The play dates back to 1634. The Thirty Vear war brought the Black Plague. It invaded the Village of Oberammergau. . After 84 inhabitants fell prey to the pestilence, the people assembled and made a vow to God to represent the Passion of our Saviour every ten years. The plague vanishâ€" ed. This vow chas been kept except lor the interference of war. The play portrays and relates the history of the life of Christ from the entrance into Jerusalem to the cruâ€" cifixion and resurrection. The proâ€" duction.consumes seven and one half hours, from 8 to 11:30 and from 2 to 3. The stage is in the open mostly, with the Bavarian Alps as a backâ€" ground. An orchestra of 52 pieces and a choir of 50â€"beautifully blended yoices contributes to its success. 1 quote from Anton Lang‘s reminâ€" iscences, "The production of the play on a fine day with the sun beaming down upon the stage in all its glory, leaves an overwhelming . impression apon the spectator." June 22nd was such a day. The first act, the entrance to ‘Jerusalem, Christus riding the ass and the chilâ€" dren and adults numbering about 500, spreading palms and singing hosanna, brought a thrill upon the audience, one that I shall never forget. Sponâ€" tuneously it created an attitude of reverence and devotion which continâ€" ued to the endâ€"not a smile, no apâ€" alause, scarcely a whisper. The acts were interspersed by proâ€" logues, songs and scriptural tableaux. The lines are given in German. The costumes are gorgeous. Christus is of course the outstanding figure and star. His voice is gentle, his attiâ€" tude beautiful. Next in importance is Judas, the betrayer, and Caiphas, the high priest. When the former casts back to his tempters the thirty pieces of silver, and when in his hour of retribution and despair, he preâ€" pares the rope for an ignominious end, he touches the highest peak of dramatic art. The crucifixion â€" its beggars description, its reality is startling. The.Passion Play of Oberammergau â€"what a privilege to witness it. It is a stupendous spectacle, a most inâ€" spiring production. It carries you »ack 2000 years when the King of Kings walked upon earth. It opens the floodgates of your emotions and penetrates to the innermost depths of your soul. (Continued from page 4) See That Containers of Fruit Are Marked, State Agent Advises "In compliance with the act, as now effective," said Mr. Pierson, "producers packing fruits and vegeâ€" tables in closed containers are requirâ€" ed to place on the package a mark or brand that gives the following inforâ€" mation: ‘The name and address of the packer or of the person by whose authority the fresh fruits or vegeâ€" tables were packed, or, if repacked, the name and address of the person by whose authority such fruits or vegetables were repacked, the true name of the variety, grade of the fresh fruits or vegetables therein conâ€" tained, providing grades have been adopted, and the minimum size or numerical count, or net weight of the contents of the package‘." Stuart E. Pierson, director of the state department of agriculture, urges purchasers of fruits and vegeâ€" tables grown in Illinois and packed for sale in closed containers, to see that the packages bear the informaâ€" tion that the closedâ€"package law of Illinois requires for their protection.
