The Grotto

From present indications the GER
emoniaI of Kallipolis Grotto. to be
held on March 9. will surpass all
recent Grotto sessions, both as to
the number of candidates and in
povel entertainment. Monarch
Charles A. Stevens intends to spare
no expense or effort in the staging
of this ceremonial, and the mem
bers are rallying to his aid. The
program begins with a SUPPER at
New Masonic Temple from to 1880,
then a parade to Old Masonic Tenn
pie. where the ceremonial and en-
tertainment will be staged. Yedz
Grotto, of Baltimore, will send over
a number of their crack artists to
assist the local Prophets, and Past
Monarch Charles d. Shackelford, in
charge of the ritualistic ceremonies,
promises things strange, new and
startling. The Grotto band, orches-
ira, drill corps and glee club will
contribute literally to the program.
So crowded will be the program
that Monarch Charles A. Stevens has
perfected plans that will not permit
of a moments delay between acts" D"
The Colonial dance of the Grotto
band and drill corps at the New
Willard Hotel on Monday evening
last was the most successful of any
given by these Grotto auxiliaries.
The costumes were elaborate and
the attendance large. Prizes for
costumes were awarded to Miss Be-
atrice Hausener, Miss Pansy
Schwenk, Charles Bennett, Mrs.
Clydenor, Mrs. Reams. Miss +. Coul-
by, Milton l.. Cox and c. A. Monroe.
