And this \u201cPassion Play\u201d suggests the memory of how old New York\u2013or the theatre-goin\u2019 portion thereof\u2013once treated an actor called Stevens who played the part of Judas Iscariot in a show piece called the \u201cDestruction of Jerusalem,\u201d at the Chatham Street Theatre. The pit hissed him and hooted him every night. The goodiest-goodiest Sunday-school boys and girls couldn&#8217;t have hated Judas Iscariot worse than these Bowery boys, who had never been inside of a Sunday-school in their lives. The pit\u2019s ideas of what Judas had done were not very clear. One fellow told another that \u201cthat cuss Judas has gone back on an old chap called Abraham, who had been very good to him and had sold him to Julius Caesar for twenty dollars.\u201d But they did know that Judas had been a sneak and a traitor. So they one night saluted him with cabbages, onions and rotten eggs, till he went to the manager and vowed he would never perform in the part again, and they had to take off the piece in the midst of its run, right in the middle of the week. There would not have been much show for the \u201cPassion Play\u201d then in New York, at all events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 By-the-by, speakin\u2019 of the \u201cPassion Play,\u201d the son of the man who played Judas in the German \u201cPassion Play\u201d at Oberammergau (George Lechner), and the brother of the man who played Christ in the same play and place (Joseph Mair), are in the city of New York now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"277\" height=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/josephmairchrist.jpg?resize=277%2C370&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/josephmairchrist.jpg?w=277&amp;ssl=1 277w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/josephmairchrist.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 277px) 100vw, 277px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Joseph Mair as Christ<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Both Mair and Lechner were drafted and compelled to serve in the war between France and Prussia, and were both killed. Joseph Mair looked a great deal like the pictures of Christ, while George Lechner, though a very nice man personally, had a dark, forbiddin\u2019 look, which made him seem like a Judas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/judas.jpg?resize=219%2C273&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-887\" style=\"width:219px;height:273px\" width=\"219\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/judas.jpg?w=357&amp;ssl=1 357w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/judas.jpg?resize=241%2C300&amp;ssl=1 241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 219px) 100vw, 219px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">George Lechner as Judas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mair was chosen ten years in advance of the play for Christ, and let his beard grow for eighteen months. There were four rehearsals a week for nearly six months; 30,000 florins, about $18,000, were spent in hard cash on scenery, dresses and appointments, and the majority of the receipts after payin\u2019 expenses were devoted to religious purposes or charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The performers were paid very moderate salaries. Mair received two hundred florins, Judas only fifty florins, down to the children, who got five florins each. A handsome woman, Josephine Lang, with splendid long and dark hair, played Mary Magdalen, and made one of the \u201chits\u201d of the piece. Joseph Mair, the Christ, was himself a really great actor, and played the crucifixion scene with such realistic intensity that he fainted on the cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; All the actors in this \u201cPassion Play\u201d were religious men and women, and they acted as much as a matter of religion and of love as for money. They personified their characters magnificently on this stage because they had been studyin\u2019 up their parts for over a year and scarcely doin\u2019 anythin\u2019 else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And it seems strange\u2013if anythin\u2019 in real life can be called strange\u2013that here in New York to-day, where the \u201cPassion Play\u201d is under the ban, the nearest relatives of the Christ and the Judas of the \u201cPassion Play\u201d at Oberammergau should be livin\u2019&#8211;the one drivin\u2019 a cart, the other tendin\u2019 in a beer saloon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[Editor&#8217;s notes: Salmi Morse had been a unsuccessful adventurer and California rancher before attempting theater productions in the late 1870s. He adapted the Oberammergau Passion Play for the American stage, but it met with objections in San Francisco; and was banned in New York&#8211;no matter how reverent the treatment, stage depictions of the story of Christ were considered sacrilegious. Morse attempted to mount other plays in New York, but they failed, and he lost everything. He committed suicide by jumping into the Hudson River a year after the above column (which, it appears, was written in support of Morse) appeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The &#8220;Destruction of Jerusalem&#8221; was staged at the Chatham Street Theatre in 1839. Harry E. Stevens, then the actor who portrayed Judas, went on to become the stage manager of the Bowery Theatre, one of the leading theaters of the city. He died at age 39 in 1854 after a playful &#8220;collar-and-elbow&#8221; wrestling match with an actor-friend resulted in a fractured spine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For a play that has never yet been acted<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[87,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-religion","category-theater"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
