To-day the lodge, in conformity with
the teachings of the craft, Will hold a

Sinful William +. Stevens, chaplain
of the Grand Lodge. Wednesday night
a banquet at the McAlpin will conclude
the jubilee.
St Cecile was formed az the close of
the Civil War for the accommodation
Of those members Of the craft who, be-
cause of the nature OF their WORK, were
barred from the benefits of the lodges
that meet at the usual hour IN the
evening. For the most part, these were
actors and musicians, and from the
start il has been distinctly a lodge OF
Thespians, musicians. writers and those
employed in the printing trades. On
it's rolls are the names OF the most en-
inent of American actors and musicians,
and il is a rare meeting that Masons
distinguished in other lands do not
sign the visitors roll. At these meet
ings the entertainment hour Is usually
a feature. including as il does acts that
no manager could afford 10 pay for,
even were he able TO induce the actors
or musicians to give them.
II is the one place in the world
where actors stage managers and cleo
tricians never differ, and where no
actor seeks TO hog the centre OF the
stage. whatever his habit or reputation
may be elsewhere.
From the nature Of their callings the
members of st. Cecile are necessarily
world wanderers, some at present be-
ing domiciled in far-off Australia and
South Africa, while large number are
in the war zone. Others are in Asia:
Nearer home there is hardly city OF
note that some member does not visit
in the course of year.
None Of the charter members Of st.
Cecile is now living. but at the meeting
on October 10 it is expected that Ed
ward Russell, who presided at the or
gan at the first meeting of the lodge:
may be present and ofticiate in part OF
the work.
