The Sublime Passion Play.

Next to making the pilgrimage to that quaint little village of Oberammergau, located In the mountain fastnesses of the Bavarian Tyrol, a few hours’ ride from Munich, where the Passion Play is presented every ten years by the Villagers in fulfillment of a solemn vow made decades ago on condition that their town would be spared from the pestilence which ravaged the surrounding hamlets, the reproduction by moving pictures of scenes which are enacted throughout an entire day, are of peculiar interest to the Christian world. The Lyceum Bio-Scenic Co. will reproduce this great sacred drama in a series of beautifully-colored moving pictures at the Princess theatre Wednesday afternoon. Those who are interested in that world renowned representation may be sure of the deepening of their interest in the Bible accounts of Christ’s mission, by seeing this production. The matinee will begin tomorrow afternoon at 3:30. Special music and songs. The films aggregate 3,000 feet in length, making a performance an hour and a half long. - «
