No one is happier in Oberammergau than his stout, simple wife, who might easily be mistaken for his mother. Some villagers will tell you that the hair of Alois Lang owes its luxuriant curliness to a permanent wave. The director of the play in 1930 was Johann Georg Lang. A forty year old teacher of woodcarving who is unrelated to either Alois or Anton Lang. Lang is a very common name in the area, there are an estimated 200 Langs in Oberammergau.
