SAN FRANCISCO, June If. - The laying of the cornerstone of the Shriners' Crippled Children's Hospital by Imeperial Potentate Ernest A. Cutts was the chief official event to engross the attention of the 100000 Shriners and visitors here to attend the forty-eighth imperial session of the Ancient Arabic Order of the No bles of the Mystic Shrine.
 This was "get acquainted" day for the multitude who trod the hot sands from far off lands to reach the oasis of San Francisco for this greatest event in Shrinedom's colorful history.
 Preparations were complete for the ushering in of the formal executive session of the order at the civic au- ditorium yesterday. A parade of uni formed organizations escorted I'm perial Potentate Cutts to mark the opening of the session. Imperial Pc tentate Cutts reviewed the parade from the stands, which have been erected on streets converging on the civic center. The stands seat 40000 persons, and it is estimated half million people will watch the parades which will feature the balance of the week.
 The most striking departure from the usual set street parades and pag- eants will be the Shrine historical Ma sonic pageant on Thursday evening. The spectacle has been molded by artists who have blended the results of extensive historical research with the designers and architects skill into elaborate tableaux depicting the de- velopment of Masonry and it's influ- ences on the worlds affairs from time immemorial.
 FIFTEEN BANDS FURNISH MUSIC
 There will be over forty electrically illuminated floats. with over 900 peo. pie in the spectacle. Fifteen bands will furnish the music. The evening g entertainment will cost over $35,000

Shriners Lay Cornerstone
 Hospital Crippled Children

From Egypt, the cradle of mysteries, where Masonic teachings were first conceived, the theme will pass to China and then to the court of King Solomon, with the historical visit of the Queen of Sheba. Dramatic incl dents of the time of Cyrus will next be depicted.
 The dream of Constantine and the defense of the Holy Sepulchre by the ancient crusaders will furnish the in spiration for the Knights Templar. From the tavern of the Goose and Gridiron, the birthplace of the Grand Lodge in England in 1717, the pageant will pass through the development of Masonry in England, thence into France with the details surrounding the French Revolution and Masonic incidents in connection with the unifi- cation of Italy under Garibald.
 In American history the part that Masonry took in the Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere's ride, the death of Grand Master Jacob Warren at Bunker Hill the drafting of the Declaration of h. dependence. Lafayette's part in the struggle for American liberty will all be exemplified in full form. One of the chief features will be an exact replica of the first free public school established in Virginia by George Washington The defense of the Alamo, the foundation of the Red Cross of Clara Barton, who was member of the Eastern Star, and the meeting of Federal and Confederate soldiers at the Masonic Lodge in Rich mond in 1864 will cover that momen- , tous period of history.
 All of the pageant floats will be drawn by tractors, which will provide power for elaborate lighting effects.
 Starting today the Shriners will stage an old-fashioned rodeo and dare devil riders and wild horses have been drawn from all over the west for this feature.
