Celebrities in Oberammergau
Among tho visitors to Obcrammergau recently have been the King and Queen of Siam, with their suite of fifteen persons, the Duchess of Alontrosc, the two sons of President Roosevelt, Daniel and Henry Roosevelt, the Papal Nuncio di Torre Grossa, and the Italian Crown Prince. The King of Siam was deeply impressed wth the Passion. Play. The incongruous appearance of the inhabitants of Obcrammcrgau, however, with their flowing locks and long beards in contrast to their everyday clothes, apparently aroused His Alajesty’s sense of humour. For lie actually smiled and chuckled when he beheld Judas, John and others of tho cast dressed in modern clothes going about their daily work. According to members of liis retinue it was the first time the King has been seen to smilo since he left Bangkok.
