The Freiburg Passion Play will not be presented here next month. It was learned yesterday that the contract between the Freiburg Passion Players and the Organized Bible Class Association has been cancelled, after Rabbi Abram Simon, leader of the Washington Hebrew Congregation, had protested against the presentation of the play on the ground that it might create ill-will between Jew and Christian.
Rabbi Simon appeared before the committee of the Organized Bible Class Association which was sponsoring the presentation of the Passion Play in the capital and stated his viewpoint. The committee, which consisted of the Rev. Dr. Homer J. Councilor and Mr. Page Mck. Etchison, listened very earnestly to his plea. As a result the committee annulled its agreement with Adolph Fassnacht, owner of the Freiburg Passion Play.
