OUR FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT.

Innsbrnck, Sept. 11 1883.

My dear Father Marsile:

I am still mindfu l of you and my good fri ends at _ ~:it. Viateur's; it was only my unsettled state, my cons­tant moving about that prevented 'TIY writing to ynu at · an earlier moment. I promised when leav ing, to give yon from time to time a sl10rt account of my observa­tions in the differeut places I might chance to pass through. Knowing the greatness of the tnsk, :.nd my inability for it, I shrink !rom imposing any of my poor productions on your interesting J ournal and its worthy readers, but to show my good will I will endeavor in my feeble way to describe the Pa ssion P lay as it is now being- represente<~ here ih the Tyrol.

The fame of Ober Amm ergan and its Pn ssion Play are doubtless well known to most readers of t he Journal. A series of represer,tations similar to those of Ober Ammergan have been produced for some months at Brix legg one of t he most beautiful and picturesque · v illages of Austrian Tyrol. The pla ce is situated in a fe rt ile· and delightful Alpine valley known as the lower valley of the Inn.

Towering high above the villilge are the Alps, which seem to lovingly encircle the li ttle homesteacls nestled in the bosom of these g rand moun tains, as though to . shut out the worlll with its turmoil and strife fi·om their ;peaceful abode. The dwellers are a simple, pious people, -w1~o see·m to be imbued with t be em·uest spirit of the -cat:ly Christians, A more fitti ng place for the production ofthis grancl .spectacle could scarcely be found. 'rhe

· .bt!ilding used .for the production is situated in the centre -of the village and ts well ad~lapted for the purpose. It is capable of accom,odating eig:Ltteen hundred spectators. The stnge is quite large, ,ov:(jr two hundred persons easily finding room thereon. There is an abundance of light, but its admission i<t so ingeniously arra11ged that it falls almost entirely on tbe stage ilS though purp.o ely concentrated there.

The performance comprises sixt~en _ rCJ:n:e~en_t[ltionq, ·

The tableaux vivants were admir~O!y gi~en under the direc­tion of Prof. Stoltz of-Innsbruck, to\vliose klndn~$s my­seH and companion. were indebted ·for admission, the building being so crowded that entrance was irnJ)QI\sible to one who bad not secured seats beforehand by mail.

Hnnclrecls who hAd come from all directio~ by~~il , were obliged to return home without · Vl;itn.essing, ' tr~e presentation. The remaining ·portirms of the p)1.ty are under the superv.ision of the vica i;·e of the y_illage: T he actors, indeed, r eflect, grent creclit Oil their direc,tOl:S. The piece opened with the e~trnn c~ of sixteen little. g irls clothed in -white and' weari ng wreatlts on their' hel\ds; they represented a'ngels and their · duty ~n s, together with the chorus I'rwster, to explain the 1~ eaning convey­eel by .each tnblean. The prologne completed, the chor.us sang a short piece;·· nfter which .the cu:~-tain. ros~: , Q n n tableau representi ng t he first siri an 'cl its· immediate conseqnences; The fi g ures !Hire 'were: strikingly ·. tnt e :to the idea · conveyed. The hesitation of Eve in tnsting the forbidd~ruit, the despair of our . first pHents. ~vhen. driven out of Parad ise, 'the hope that 'illumined their features when they hea rd the promise oftbe redemption and saw the Virg in ll1nry in a vbion crus·hing the ser­pent's hea cl , fill wei·c bcantiful(y ~;lcl arti ti<.::; lly r~ncler~ eel. The fi rst scene in the history of tl1e P11ssion ";~s ·the triumphal entry of Christ into J erusalern : the process­ion of the-exul tnnt ·people-!'nen, women ancl .children, . shouting loud Hos,mnas anc1 strewing t.beir garments and palm branches in the wny; the meek :mel lowly,. Apostles, rmd the mnjestic mien .of Jesus who ' rorese~; .. that t his same peOt)le will ,' ere long, hurry him tp an,. ignominious denth, hlahs a c1eep impression}\ncl excites_. emotions impossible to describe.· Tb~. ~~conrl . scene brought before us the buyers and sellers in the Temple: : Christ walks mnjest ically il!llOngst them and jn a n;wment all is chilngecl. He overturns the tables with their goods and with a wh.ip he drives them out say ing "My ~ouse . is a house of prayer but you have macl,e · it a cl eQ of. thi eves." Imm ed iil tely a tumult arose and the Pharisees ,, took Christ to ta sk for what he had clone i with a won- . cl erful mix tnre of meekness and dignity he proves his . rights to do what he has.

The impress ion made on one witnessing the play ,~,

throughout is that he witnesses no ordinnry drama, but something sacred. The audience, composed as it was of both Catholics and Protestants, seemed to fully app reci­ate and be impressed with the fact. The uprising of the curtain next revealed to us the assembbge of the great con neil; the countenances of the High priests Annas and Caiphas were full of the bitter hatred that rankled in their hearts. On all sides there was nothing but violent denunciation of Christ till Joser h of Arimathea and Nicodemn ro e to defend the ab ent Prophet, but they were speedily overwhelmed by the reproaches of the insatiateJe11s. Joseph of Arimatl1ea was a noble pecimen of the intelligent and openhearted J ew and made quite an impression. The scene throughout w.t excelleutly por­trayed. The rendition of the penitent sinner Magdalen au­nointing the feet of the S wiour followed. Juchs arose and compla ined of the waste, but our Lord justified her act ion and in a voice full of sweetness and comp::tSsion assured her thn.t her sins were forgiven . A very touching portion of the n'nTative was here int rodu ced, viz: Christ parting from l1i · mother previous to his p::t ion. His eye:; seemed nlre::t<ly fixed upon the cross nwaiting him; Mary was oven,·helmecl with sorrow; sbe seemed to know tllat the time w:1s at hand when the prophecy of Holy :Simeon wns to be fulfill ed : "And thine own heart a word shall pierce." This p tl't w t:; tou c:hingly given and many were mov ed to te·u:<. Then cnme the lnst sur per and the in~titn t i on ol' the Ble~sed Euch·tri st.

The g rouping of the figures in this instance~aid to he th e snme ns in the celebrnted paillting of Leonnrdo cb Vinci. The n.cting at this point showed to great ad­v:tnt1ge the abilities of the nnn who r.:lprescnted Christ.

Every action w:-ts full of dignity and grace. l-Ie communic tted nll the Apostle . The expression on the t:we of Jucla , and his acting when about to communicate were striking . W e "·ere then treated to a view of Geth­scm tne, the g<rden of the agony of our Lord. The apostles, P ete r, .John anrl J:tmes were there; Christ tell­ing them to pray, went to an eminence to prny; H e prnyccl n.lollll the wellknown prayer that has consoled so m<tny aching hetrts: " Thy will be done." Af~er a time he returned to the Apostles only to find thE>m sleeping and in a mo~t touching voice be nskecl them to watch "·ith him. Ilis face was covered with a bloody sweat so :tpp:trcntly tnttu·a] as to be startling.

Aftcrwanl followed the betrayal of Christ by Judns. The swcctnes with which our Saviour addressed him seemed to overwh elm the traitor with remorse and be moved away. Christ then turned to the mob nncl asked whom they sought. He told them he wns J esus of Na­zar tb, when all fell to the ground as though overcome by the m:-tjcsty of his look, but in a moment the rabble ros and moved nway hooting and yellin <Y nnrl the curtain dropped.

disorder occurred; every thing seemed ns quiet as in n church with the exception of an ontbmst of npplause given iu appreciation of some mu ' ical introduction to a representation.

\Vhile the audience were filino- out of the buildirw I 0 0

hn.d an opportunity of closely observing them. There were the Tyrolese in their picturesque costumes, the swarthy Italian, the vivncious Frenchman, the I)hleo--

. G o matte erman, nncl indeed so varied the languages, manners etc., that I was inclined to believe almost every known nation had a representative in the assemblage.

The table d 'hote resembled the tower of Babel as far as difference and confusion of tongues went: on one side of me sat n German Count, on the other an American priest. Everyone wns talking as fast as be could in his own langunge, doubtless to make up for the long silence impo eel on them during the forenoon. I saw many representnti ves from the different r eligious orders all in their habits, nncl a pleasing sight they presented. Among them anum ber of French Dominicans nnd some of the same orcicr from Canada. ·

The afternoon opening, like that of the forenoon, was announced by the firing of cannons. The curtain rose on the presentntion of Christ before the High Priest Annas. Thereafter be was q uestionecl by Caiphas w!:!o declared him guilty of death. The most marked passage here shown wa", where Christ-having been judged guilty of de:1tb, met P eter while crossing the court and cast a tender and sorrowful glance at him, whereupon the wretched disciple, who had but a short time before deni ed his master with an oath, is completely overcome with grief. Tb e tntitor Judas immediately appeared be­fore the great council and endeavored to undo the great wrong he bad committed but the council refused to in­terfere fur ther in the matter and the wretched man flung the price of his treachery at the feet ot the High Priest rushed ont in despair. Shortly after be reappeared c:-trry ing a rope, ancl, after a soliloquy in which be re­flected on all that .Jesus ha,d done for him, His goodness, meekness and great love towards him, overcome by despair he ascended n tree to hang himself when the scene closes. This wn.s one of the mo~t powerful pieces of acting in the whole seri es vf r epresentntions and wns highly appreciated nnd well received by all.

The judgement of Pilnte followed. H ere a new char­acter was introduced. The one who performed this part was a faithful delineator: He showed Jorth to perfection the weakness, timidiLy and indecision of the judge.

·while he was tlclibcr:tting 11s to wh:tt hi s decision shoul d be, it messenger brought greeting from his wife, mmonn­cing at tho same t ime thnt she bad a vision regardi ng the grc~1t Prophet before him nncl witrned t hem not to illj ure him.

Pilate promised to save Jesus. Then followerl the scourging and the remainder ns set forth in the Scrip­tures.

At bst J csns wns condemned by Pilate, and t he mOill'l1ful procc s ion st·1rtc(l on its wn.y to cal vary; the Roman solrlicrs, the Pharisee , and the general concourse wns terribly rc'tl and life like. Bnt the one moment of all which stinecl the heitrts and sy mp:cth ies of a ll present was when Jesns met his mother on the way; tom , bruised , bleeding and borne down by the weight of t he cross, all were mov ed to tears and the scene was so real istic and so toncbingly rendered th:tt I S:l. W mrtny hertcls tnrn from n. spectitcle which strong but kind ly hearts cou ld not bear to look upon.

After he hitd f\tll cn severn.! times the cnr tain again descenclecl.

The succeed ing scene was occupied in divest ing t he Sitviour itncl in the crucifixi on. This was so n:-tt urally n.ncl cleverly clone that all were itt a Joss to know how the person WfiS nitilecl to the cross I The sound of the hammering itncl the du ll tbn cl and gritting of the nails f\8 they were driven in en. used :t visible shudd er among the audience The body on being taken clown by the fi:tithful fri ends or Christ was plnced in the lap of his most affectionate mother.

T he litrly who en::tctecl the per t vf our Blessed :Mother d id so with such a natural sweetness itnd grace, and was so utterly prostrat e by g rief when the body of her son was t itken from the croso;, that many of the au­dience were not only excited to teitrS but many among them sobbed ttlOL1Cl. T he burial ftndres urrection followed and all concluded with :t t itbleftu representing the new risen Lord as conqueror of Death and Hell. Truly I never received so deep and impression of the P assion as I did itt this representation.

But a word n.bout t he principal actors and I nm done. The one who represented the part of our Lord is a sm:cll shop keeper living in the neighborhood of Innsbru ck; the representative of J nclas is a shoemaker. AU the characters are poor peas:1.nts. T heir s:1hry amounts to t he wonder­ful sum o1 twenty five Krutzeas-itbout seven cents-to provirle their dinner.

The money realized from these performances is devot­ed to chari table purposes. I met se veral who were pre­sent at the Passion P lay of Ammergam some years ago itnd they assured me that it was not only equaled but was even excelled in some things by that of Brix legg. I h:we not he::tr d a single expression of dissrrtisfh.c tion

or rlisapointment ns regards the pln y, on the c011trary all express themselves entirely satisfied. The represen­tBtions will continue t ill Oct . first when they will cease.

LITERARY NOTES.

The Catholic Publication Society hu in press and will publish i=ediately the sermons of the 1\fost Rev. J ohn MacHale, late Archbishop of Tuam. It will be a book of more than 500 pages.

" The Great Inventions," by F. B. Wilkfe, is a work, lately issued by J. A. Ruth & Co., Phi ladelphia. It gives a very clear and interesting account of all the principle inventions from the earliest period up to the present, together with short sketches of the various inventors.

We are pleased te find among the late publications P art I. of Rev B. J. Spalding'sHistory of the Chu1·ch of God. This part of the great work is the Bible History portion, and as it is short and concise and at the same time perfect and complete in every respect we feel ce rtain that Catholic schools and colleges will lose no time in securing it5 superior ad vantages as a text book. The name or the author alone is sufficent guarantee that it is correct and accurate throughout and worthy of the highest recommandatiou.
