Role of Christus
In Passion Play
Sponsored by Fort Worth Lions
Club the "Black Hills Passion
Play" will be presented in Will
Rogers auditorium today through
Monday, April 10. Performances
will be at 2 p. m. and 8:15 p. m.
daily. Tickets, ranging from $1.20
to $3.60 in price, aire on sale in the
Texas Hotel.
An advance sale coupon for $1
which may be exchanged at face
value for any reserved seat ticket
is now being issued by the Down-
Town Lions Club. On the campus
these coupons may be purchased
from the Business Office or Mr.
Sam Braswell, business manager.
With the Original Black Hills
Company cast of 100, Josef Meier,
world famous Christus portrayer
will again follow in the footstep of
his ancestors by portraying Christ.
The play covers the last seven days
in the life of Christ.
Meier--made his first stage ap-
pearance at 10 weeks of age, depic-
ting the Christ Child, at 24, he be-
gan portraying the Savior. His
father played the part of Christ,
as have five other generations of
the Meiers.
To people asking about the ef-
fect stage business has on Josef
Meier's private life, he answers:
"Perhaps, because of it, I have a
little more patience, a little better
understanding of others, but that
is all."
He once grew his own beard. The
cross that he carries is hollow, but
weighs 160 pounds. His wife plays
the part of Mary. Judas, the most
envied role for its drama, is por-
trayed by Leland Stanford Harris.
Meier, now 38 and leader of the
Black Hills (South Dakota) group,
led his people eleven years ago to
America from Lunen, in West-
palia Germany. Before leaving he
had drilled them and himself in
English lines. Freiburg Passion
Play is the only other company
from Europe to tour America, giv-
ing its performances in German.
Not until 1937 did Meier find a
home for his group in the Black
Hills. Seventy-five thousand have
attended the outdoor performances
of this play in Spearfish in the past
three years.
He is the only player left of the
original ten who came to America.
I S»me retired and others returned
to "Germany. He has drawn his re-
placements 'tiinti '■tob \meeican

Flowers N Things
For Easter Parade
*'
BY ARGEE COLLINS
The Easter parade next Sunday will recall his youth for father,
will remind the college Senior of what mother looked like when he
was little, and will look like nothing the small fry has seen before.
Milady will be parading
with flowers In her bon-
net, on her dress or at her
throat. Pleated skirts and
straight skirts will be
shorter than last year.
There will be cottons,
chiffons, linens, silks and
woolens in the gay pro-
cession.
Navy blue will lead the
throng of colors again this
season, in accessories as
well as suits and dresses.
'New sheer cotton will
give the college coed an
elegant look and will
be extremely becoming.
These cottons are wonder-
ful for date dresses later
in the summer also. The
1950 editions of the ever-
popular spectators have fashion's new look.
profile types in straw, straw and straw.
King color will reign supreme at this year's Easter parade
most flattering shade is what you should wear.
* # • *
Esquire indicates that men's fashions will stress the American in-
formal note again this year. Restrained and unexaggerated, the new
fashions are colorful but at the same time comfortable.
Men want no frills, no radical changes by whal Esquire terms
"a wild man with a pin cushion." They just demand comfort in
g'nfll taste. The new suits are lightweight as usual.
With a gray snc-Di^in University suit, the three button model, the
man about-town .will se»dt a blue oxford shirt with button down collar
and red and blue tie. Natui^Jv the French cuffs will be adorned with
attravtice cuff links.
A hat? Yes, even the college man it a must for good
grooming. Perhaps the veteran with the receaiLiS *,ajrijno helped
this fashion get a start on the campus. The new light*, fejt
in a variety of shades, and a dark band for contrast Is correct *—
round-towners.
Shoes are light for comfort and a neater, smarter feeling. The
medallion toe caps are the most popular. Sport sox with a graduated
stripe will be peeking out on this Easter's well-groomed male.
* * * *
For after-dark fashions, Paris and American designers are showing
evening gowns which come to just below the knee in front, cascading
nearly to the floor in back. These gowns will be available in starched
chiffon, black waffle pique and the French chiffon with gold dots, as
well as the favorite silks.
One hosiery company has introduced stockings with seams in
the front. They have no seam in the back. Wonder how long this
will last? At least there's no worry about whether your seams are
straight.
A new attractive shorty glove has a cutout space for your watch,
No peeking necessary to tell the time.
Whether'50 fashions are here to., stay for a while or not, guess
we'll have to make the best of them.
