PASSION PLAY
AT FAIR PARK
ALL THIS WEEK
FREIBURG PLAYERS HOLD
CROWD SPELL BOUND
AT PERFORMANCES.
Every period of history since its
inception has contributed something
to the ageless, age-old drama of the
Man of Sorrows, as interpreted by the
players from Freiburg, Germany, at
Pair Parle Auditorium, Dallas, Wed-
nesday night. From' the ancient Ori-
ent came the color and the costum-
ing; from the Middle Ages, the scrint,
which was used Just as it was inherit-
ed by the hereditary players; from the
master composers of modern times,
the music, which forms a perfect
theme to interpret every mood of the
actors. In the gorgeous sets one sees
the master work of David Belasco and
Morris Gest, who presented the Frei-
burg Players at the New York Hippo-
drome.
The play, if it can be called a play,
held the audience spellbound from
the moment of the triumphant entry
into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday to
the crucifixion and resurrection. The
auditorium was fairly well filled.
When Adolph Fassnachet rode onto
the stage astride a donkey amid the
adulation of the multitude the be-
holder’s heart leaped, so startling was
his resemblance to one’s ideal of the
physical appearance of the Christ. In
features and coloring he suggested an
old master’s pious painting.
Descending from the donkey’s back,
Jesus heals the lame, restores sight
to the blind, drives the money chang-
ers out of the temple and when the
adulterous woman is hurled on the
temple steps by the priests he speaks
these momentous words that have
rung down the centuries: “He that is
without sin among you, let him cast
the first stone.”
Then begins the dramatic struggle
between three groups, Jesus and His
followers, the high priests and the
scribes and the Roman Governor,
Pilate.
The senes that will linger longest
in the memory are the remorse cf
Judas and the crucifixion.
The realism of the crucifixion is en-
hanced by skilful thunder and light-
ning effects, as the stark outlines of
the three crosses are silhouetted against
drifting black clouds.
The tones o f Adolph Fassnacht’s
voice as he talked to the thief beside
him on the cross and as he gave the
last despairing cry: “Elohim! Elchim!
Why hast Thou forsaken me?” moved
many to tears.
Elsa Fassnacht, wife of Adolph, ga\e
an interpretation of Mary the Moth-
er, that was interesting and essential-
ly European. Amalie Fassnacht,daugh-
ter of Adolph and Elsa, was a beau-
tiful Mary Magdalene.
Paul Dietz as Pontius Pilate, vigor-
ously defended Christ for a time
until t.he demands of the multitude,
which, a short time before, had been
singing liosannas to him, but who yell-
ed for His death on the steps of the
Roman Governor’s palace after their
mood had been changed by the schem-
ing of the priests.
“Ecoo homo-” (“Behold this man!")
Pilate said, arguing that Jesus was
blameless, and offering them Bara’o-
h-.is, the thief, as a hostage for Jesus.
Finally, overcome by their violent ex-
postulations a.nd charges, Pilate's firm-
ness is shahen and Jesus is scourged
and taken to Golgotha,
AjVr morcing of his side bv the
lance, the storm and the rending of
the temple veil, He Is tenderly taken
down from th" cross by Joseph of Ari-
matbea, Nieodemus ar.d Mark, and
placed in the lap cf His mourning
mother.
When the women vLsit the tomb,
which has been guarded by four sol-
diers, an angel announces that Christ
has risen.
During the glorification scene and
the singing of the Hallelejah chorus,
the audience stood.
The tableaux of the expulsion of
Adam and Eve from the Garden and
the glorification of the cross at the
beginning of the performance and the
glorification of Christ at the close
Four-Year-Old Girl

Friends in Cooper will regret to

MUCH INTEREST HAS BEEN
SHOWN BY LEADERS;
WILL END TUESDAY.
The tenth indoor session of scout
leaders training course which is being
held jointly with Cooper and Com-
merce scout leaders was held here this
week, the meetings being held al-
ternately at the two towns.

and the leaders of the respective towns
will hold them separately. The hike
session will be held at Cooper next
Tuesday afternoon and the school
will close with a week end hike at
Camp Clark, Paris, in about 3 weeks.
Much interest has been manifest by
Cooper men who are availing them-
selves of the opportunity of equipping
theniselves for doing Scout work. The
following sixteen have attended a part
cf the sessions and many of them ev-
ery one and will receive certificates
for having completed the course: W.
jl. Bartley, W. D. Hart, F. B. Lain, D.
G. Albright, O. N. Biggers, J. W.

ton, L. L. Allard, Guy Ray, A. R.
Byrns, C. M. McKinney, Chas. D.
Berry, I. T. Huckabee, Rev. T. A. Ma-
lcne of Lake Creek.

enable these men to make scouting
more interesting and profitable to the
beys cf this community.
Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Yoakum had as
their guests Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Lu-
ther Adair and children, Greenville,

were as reminiscent of colored illus-
trations in old family Bibles as other
scenes, the Last Suopcr, descent from
the cross, march to Calvary and Christ
in the Garden of Gcthsemane, were
reminiscent of famous canvasses of
the old masters.
No review would be complete with-
out mentioning Caiaphas the high
priest, intenprested by Fritz Sehoeller,
and Peter, by Heinrich Hauck.
Indeed, there was no minor parts
in the Passion Plav. Each acted his
role so strikingly that the play lost
little liy being given in German and
ermh character looked his or her part
to perfection.
Though the action begins with the
Bahn In the manger when given in
native Freiburg and lasts nenrly all
clay, as does the Oberammergau pro-
duction, it has been cut to last only
throe hours for American consump-
tion.
The Passion Play is given every
night this week, with two matinees
cn Thursday and Saturday.
It is presented under the auspices
of the Dallas American Legion posts
and their auxilirales.

NICHOLS VICTOR
IN BITTER RACE
AT GREENVILLE
GREENVILLE. April 1.—Joseph F.
Nichols was re-elected Mayor of
Greenville Tuesday by a majority of
84 votes over C. P. Nevill, at the close
of the bitterest campaign ever waked
here, and which brought out the larg-
est vote recorded, mo-Q than 250 votes
in excess of that cast in the pri-
mary of February 22.
The total vote cast in the election
was 2,464, of which Nichols received
1270 and Nevill 1190.
In the February primary Nichols
was declared the nominee over Ne-
vill by one vote. A contest before the
Democratic committee was filed and
on recount of the ballots, throwing
out more than 100 which were con-
sidered illegal by reason of non-resi-
dence and other causes, Nevill was
declared the nominee by four votes.
Nichols and his friends declared
votes were thrown out which should
have been counted, and when the
committee ordered the ballots printed
with only Nevill’s name for mayor,
Nichols asked the people to scratch
the name and write his in its place.
This was done by the majority and
Nichols was returned winner.
