Aimas Temple Of the Mystic Shrine
| IS said to be determined to prove that
| It's big ceremonial session at the New
Nationa! Theater some weeks ago was
not a chance effort that will be hard
to repeat. IF plans for the session at
the Arcade Auditorium, May 90. a week
| from tomorrow night, are not shattered
by divine providence or alien enemies
! says Llewellyn Whiting Estes, the po-
tentate. no three-ringed circus that
ever came to Washington will compare
with 1t in the matter of the magnitude,
VARIETY var originality: quality, and gen.
! This is part of the outline he saws.
First. there is to be an invasion of
this oasis by the cohorts Of Acca Tenn
pie OF Richmond, Va. headed by no
less dignitary than Past Imperial
Potentate George Street and Tlusfrious
fotentate Evans, accompanied by the
entire official divan and the representa-
tives to the Imperial Council session at
Temple Arab Patrol-forty-count EN-
and the Acca Temple Silver Cornet
Band.
They will arrive at Union station
mobility Of Ainas Temple, in auto
| mobiles. to see the Washington ball
i club trim the Athletics. Secretary Will
liam H. Fowler has set aside the entire
section s back of first base for the
Shriners, and every member of AImas
Temple is expected to be there with his
red fez on his head. The day will be
SCI apart by the management as Shrine
daI.,, t hoe Estes says every little
| detaiI mas been arranged except the
actual acquiescence of Mr., Cornelius
MacGillicuddy. the Philadelphia mag
nate, which Walter johnson says doesn't
mater much. for If Connie Mack does
not consent willingly, he will give the
matter of broilins the once champions
MS own personal consideration
FROM the ball park the Accaites
% MIL proceed to the New Ebbitt for
themselves in the costly and glitter
ing raiment requisite to the mystic
fight to Mecca. That will be some
particular pebble of the sterile soil of
! the desert is receiving special treat
| ment for the benefit of the wandering
tribesmen' ready for the occasion; and
they already number in the upper
tens of the century which means
there is still room for more.
The business meeting will take
place at p.m.-not before or after.
| ne caravan Will Deeln 10 move at y
pm, and the Almas caravan was never
known to be tardy. The hight, at
least to the 'profane. would tax the
widest cravings of an abnormal i'm
| agination. with the lively crunch of
the camels' hoofs on the heated sands,
| the shrieks of the noyitiates the Wells
OF the camel drivers, the roar of the
beasts-for there are always beasts to
attack every caravan, at least Of Alnas
Temple; the simeon and the sand
storm and the disappointments OF the
| mirage; the burning Of the heated
waters. aud the most dreaded of all
the yawning Zikers-at least this is
what the ante-ceremonial torturers
| say to the novices.
| after the ceremonial there will be
mad rush back to the New Ebbitt
with the guests. to enable them to
change their apparel and catch the
| midnight train for Richmond
Potentate Estes has made three ear
nest requests Of the Washington no.
bies-f1rst. that all blessed with motor
| cars Will offer their use in caring for
the visitors from Richmond: secondly,
| that every man of Almas Temple ap-
pear at the ball game. and thirdly. that
every noble appear in his red feZ on
ride on the sound of the tom-tom."
The stunt" committee made its hnal
| report to the potentate at meeting
at the Commercial Club Wednesday
night, and those who know say that
for novelty, thrill and brilliancy such
things as they contemplate were
