SHRTNERS MAKE MERRY
WiIdwOOd's Newest Organization Gives
Musicale and Dance in the Old
Holly Beach Yacht Club


Two hundred and twenty-five Shrin-
ers, accompanied by their wives or
wiYes-to-be, dressed in evening clothes
and the red fez. distinctive of their
order, gathered at the Holly Beach
Yacht Club in the Crest for their first
dance and musicale last Friday night.
The Shrine Club-known officially as
the Wildwood Shrine Club, but to the
citizens of wildwood just THE Shrine
Club-was organized not so long ago
by a bunch of the "reg'lar fellows" in
town, who were Shriners and missed
the sociability of being able to gather
with fellow Masons now and then.
When it was learned that the Camden
Shrine Club and visiting Shrines had
picked Wildwood as the scene for their
annual good time, the Shriners in
wildwood got together and formed
their club for the purpose of preparing
to welcome the visiting Shriners in a
proper manner. Noble Fred Himmel-
elm was one of the most ardent of the
promoters of the club. Noble Edwin
B. Pagan became temporary chairman
and w. C. Hunt loaned his avenue the
atre as a headquarters for the regular
meetings. You all know what a sue
cess they made of the Camden Shrine
Club outing. After that they began
to settle down and get rounded into
shape. Chairman Pagan was elected
ox.I ,-aAdiofnlu nnnninfnd
committees which have already gotten
to work. Well, to get back to u sub
ject, this live wire organization gave
its first social event last Friday even
ing.
The program didn't start until a
quarter of nine, but the Shriners were
gathered long before that in eager an
ticipation. The first musical number
was a quartet composed of Professor
Clement Barone, Professor Francis ].
Richard Barone and Noble
]. A. Cinciarulo. Professor Barone is
the premier 1utist of the Victor Talk
ing Machine Company, and Professor
Lapitino is the premier harpist of the
same company. Richard Barone plays
the violin. These three played at the
Crest Pier Sunday night concert last
week. Noble C~inciarulo plays the
viola. The music loving Shriners
were delighted with the rendition of
these four excellent musicians.
Miss Alice Hendee, probably the
most noted pianist in Wildwood, with
out whom no social event is complete,
gave a recitation on the piano. Har-
riet Hammond, daughter of Ralph
Whitley, a prominent Shriner, sang
.wo or three selections in her clear
soprano voice, which were enthusiast
,ally received. Noble Fred Sulzer, I'm
)erial Bodyguard to Potentate Free
and Kendrick, of the Lulu Temple,
wound up the musical entertainment
With some selections on his banjo, for
which he is famous.
President Pagan was a busy but
.ffable director all evening. He acted
S introducer, POSTMASTER, and per-
ormed all the functions of host. AT
err the musicale, refreshments were
erved in the grill, while the speakers
the evening held forth.
Senator William H. Bright was the
irst speaker called upon. OF course
lis topic was Shrines and Shriners.
yoble Pagan himself spoke next and
the promoters of the Shrine
hub to the skies. Mobiles Himmelein,
'ierpont, A. D. Austin and Fred Sui
er were also on the speechmaking
,rogram. Noble .Sulzer made his
peech in what he claimed was Chi
lese. The guests enjoyed it just as
ouch if not more, than they would
ave if they were ~conversant with the
lingo of the Celestial kingdom.
After the refreshments and speech
making the guests were piloted by
Noble Pagan back to the ball room,
where they danced to the music OF
-ulia Bakers Ladies' Orchestra till
he wee sma' hours. All the musicians
lad been previously introduced to the
,uests and so everything was sociable.
