PASSION PLAY AT TOWN HALL.
The great Passion Play of Oberammergau has been produced every ten years since 1634. On many occasions fabulous sums have been offered by moving picture companies for the right to take moving pictures, but the humble peasants of this little village in the Bavarian Alps have regarded It as too sacred to be sold for gain. However at the last presentation, ,1930, the Oberammergau people decided to reserve to themaelves the right of taking art pictures, and it is these slides shown by their official sanction and under royalty that are to be presented at the Town Hall tomorrow.
