The Eden Museo has a genuine novelty this week. It will give cinematographe pictures of “The Passion Play, as it is given at Ober-ammergau. A press view was given of them Friday afternoon and the first public showing will take place Monday. There is some question whether they follow the Oberamniergau soenes all the way through, but there is none that they are* deeply interesting or that they make the story of the crucifixion more vivid than any reading of the narrative could do. Whether the effect is reverent or not will -depend upon the auditor. The pictures certainly stimulate the imagination and the reverence of some spectators, and there may be others who will be shocked if not by the pictures at least by the idea that such pictures are shown in an exhibition hall. There is hardly likely to be any such outbreak of public sentiment about the present series as over the attempt to act the Passion play here some years since, as in this case the personality of the actors do not enter into the question in any way. The models for these pictures were the Bavarian peasants who give the play every decade IntAmiFLOREKCE STOX E IN RDECTKrCI AN.Mtheir own country. Augustin Daly has a similar set of slides which he has intended offering mornings -during Lrent at his theater. What effect the enterprise of the Eden Mu-see in anticipating his move may have on his plan cannot yet be foretold.
