PASSION PLAY LECTURE
To-morrow night at the Town Hall Concert Chamber will be given a lantern lecture of unusual interest on the great “Passion Play of Oberammergau” in Bavaria by one who has witnessed it. So great an interest has the play aroused for generations that, during the time of its performance —which is only at 10-year intervals—thousands of people of all nationalities, both East and West, see it. The lecturer. Mr. T. G. Queree, witnessed this performance in 1922, and the large collection of authentic slides he uses to illustrate the lecure are said to be superb examples of photography. Whether one is interested in the historical associations of the play, the Old World village isolated in the Bavarian Alps in which it is performed, the vast scale of the production, presented on the largest stage in the world, or the stirring scenes, With their lavish and historic costuming, all will find much of absorbing interest in the lecture, which will be given under the auspices of the Wellington Theosophical Society.
