RESURRECTED
PASSION PLAY
OPENS SEASON
NANCY, France, Aug. 23 (by Asso
ciated Press).—France’s “Passion
Play,” rivalling that of Oberammer
gau, has opened its season here after
five year’s of war’s interruption. It
was given, as it has been since 1904,
in the Passion theater, under the dir
ection of M. Pettit, the village priest,
with his parishioners as the cast. The
play, costuming, verse, music and
equipment have been developed and
improved since the pre-war perform
ances.
There are 16 scenes depicting the
bible incidents from the Birth to the
Resurrection. The play runs from
9 a. m. to noon and from 1:30 to 5:00.
Intermissions between the scenes are
filled with tableaux representing,
principally, prophetic passages of the
Old Testament bearing upon the run
ning story.
The ext. where it is not that of the
Bible, is the verse of various poets
and the music is taken or adapted
from various composers. M. Petitt
says he has taken or utilized from
all sources whatever he believed he
needed to make a beautiful ensemble.
The naturalness of the players,
none of whom are professionals,
critics said, was heightened by the
deftness and ingenuity of the stag
ing. One of the difficult things to
produce was the Crucifixion, where
the movement of the principal de
picting Christ on the Cross or, dur
ing the descent, might easily be mis
portrayed. On the cross, the long
white winding sheet is draped un
der the principal’s arms and over the
two arms of the cross. The ends of
the cloth, floating like wings, add
much to the effect and serve their
real purpose by enabling the charac
ters to lower the apparently inert fig
ure, supported safely as he is, by the
cloth under his arms.
The play is to be given every Sun
day until the middle of October.

PARK ROBBERY
RECALLS DAYS
OF BLACK BART
I
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23 (by As
sociated Press).—Recent robberies of
four automobile parties near the
boundaries of Yosemite national
park have caused old residents in the
west to recall the activities of
“Black Bart,” one time famous stage
robber.
The man who held up the stage
parties is said to have been jocular,
to have refused money from boy
scouts and the drivers, and to have
acted with much the same gallantry
as wras exhibited by Bart or is de
scribed in romantic stories of the
seventeenth century in England.
Bart, or Charles E. Boles, as he is
i
assumed to have been named, is sup
posed to have robbed numerous
stages, always alone, in the period
between August 12, 1877, and Nocem
ber 3, 1883. On the latter date he
robbed a stage running from Milton
to Sonora, California, and dropped a
handkerchief. The laundry mark on
this wras traced to San Francisco
and eventually through it Bart was
captured explaining his absences on
“business” by saying he was look
ing after mining enterprises.
It was Bait’s habit to leave vers
es behind for the officers who inves
tigated the robberies. These he
signed “Black Bart, P. O. S.”
When the Quniccy-Orville stage was
robbed July 28, 1878, this was left
behind:
“Here I lay me down to sleep
To wait the coming morrow.
Perhaps success, perhaps defeat,
And everlasting sorrow.
Yet come what will—I’ll try it on
My condition can’t be worse
And if there’s money in that box
‘Tis money in my purse.
