ity, the shriners' program for Fiesta
week, as announced by Potentate Mot
ley Flint of AL Malaikah temple, Is
varied and attractive in the extreme
and If the visiting mobiles are not -suffi-
ciently entertained it will not be for
lack of some place to go where well
come is assured.
Every day, from the opening Mon
sday, a week from tomorrow, to the last
hour of the following Saturday night,
has been provided for Early to rise,
but late to bed must be the Shriner
motto for the week, for the program
advanced for their entertainment al
lows but few hours of each twenty
four to be whiled away in sleep.
The entire section has apparently at
tSmpted a corner on the hospitality
supply of the &C y,ntry Each city and
town in the district from beach to
mountains, has come forward with a
plan of entertainment. All the points
of interest which have made Los An
geles and her suburbs known the
world over will contribute their quota
of interesting sights and amusements
and all that Southern California holds
dear will be given for the asking to the
visiting mobiles.
Each City Has Committee
Catalina, Glendale, Hollywood, Pasa-
dena, Redondo, Long Beach, Venice
and the historic Baldwin ranch at Ar
cadia have all contributed their best
toward making the visit of the Shrin
ers a success. Each of the cities and
resorts mentioned has appointed com
mittees and subcommittee to take
the matter in hand and attend to the
reception of their guests, and every
one will try and outdo the other in
offering their best, both Of entertain
ment and hospitality.
With from $4,000 to $4,000 Shriners
and their friends to be taken care of
the committee was forced to the ex-
pedient of dividing up the proffered in
vitations, and allotting only a portion
of the vast asSemblage to the various
cities. While the program includes
next Sunday in it's list of dates it
will not be until the following day that
the real entertainment begins.
On Sunday the rush on Al Malaikah
temple will begin. Special trains by
the score will begin to disgorge their
loads of mobiles into the city, and Po-
tentate Flint and his hundreds of as
sistants on the reception committee
will have their hands full escorting the
visiting temples to the hotels assigned
them. Divine service, to befittingly
consecrate the week, will be held for
the Shriners at Christ church in the
evening, and it is expected that many
of the visiting mobiles will forego the
much needed rest that trip across the
continent begets and be present to lis
ten to an address of welcome by Rev.
Baker P. Lee, rector of Christ church.
Four Events Monday
Four different events have been ar
ranged to tempt the visitors on Mon
day morning and afternoon. and even
then still sanother affair, reception,
awaits the sight seeing mobiles on their
return to Los Angeles.
Leaving Los Angeles on their special
cars at s o'clock in the morning on
Monday the officers and representatives
of the imperial council will journey to
Catalina on a special steamer and spend
the day on the magic isle, returning in
time for the events of the evening.
While they are gone the other mobiles
who are not members of the imperial
council will have their choice of three
different places of interest to visit.
Indeed, if an early start is made all
three may be visited during the day,
as no stint is placed on the hospitality
of the citizens who will conduct things
at the different places.
At Glendale, one of the points which
will entertain on Monday a luncheon
at the historic Casa Verdugo has been
. arranged for the mobiles and their
guests who visit the classic home of

through the delightful country in the
vicinity of Glendale will be in order,

an inland trip, Redondo will also open
her doors on Monday Short voyages

and to the power plant will also be

mobiles will be welcome at a reception

cisco at the King Edward hotel, and

tertain, no points outside Los Angeles
