GRAND PARADE
OPENS SHRINE
f TE
Seventy Two Temples In
Line of March Extend
ing Thru Streets for
Over Three Miles.

San Francisco, Cal, June 13.-
The opening day OF the great
golden jubilee of Mystic Shrine
found a heavy mist trying to test
the colors of the garish street dec
orations and the good nature of
the Shrine hosts and coming out
second best in both instances.
The Shriners were up early for
the great pageant. advertised as
the "crowning event" of the jubi-
lee. AS early as Z o'clock they
began to gather on the wide en-
barcadero, the starting point, and
the sidewalks were being filled
with spectators at the same hour.
At least an hour before any one
appeared in the dripping grand
stands, many who knew that the
pageant would be worth the long
wait appeared with boxes and UNI
brellas and sat complacentl y on
the edge of the roped-off sidewalks
waiting for the festivities.
70 Temples in Line.
The pageant, scheduled as "a
parade of uniformed organiza-
tions," was really the escorting of
Imperial Potentate Ernest Allen
Cults of Savannah, Ca, and the
grand divan, to the opening of the
4Sth annual convention of the
Shrine.
Seventy-two temples from all
parts of the country, including
Honolulu, were in line in the
pageant, forming four great di-
visions.
Nearly as many bands as there
were temples were in line to see
the resplendently liveried hosts
kept in step. With even, snappy
step, as lively as any well trained
host of patriots marching off to
war. the marsheled throngs of the
new Islam wended their way in
great triumph along the main
thoroughfare from the minarets at
the ferry to the Bedouin village in
the civic center, where they were
reviewed by the imperial potentate
and his grand divan, and a num-
Der of civic and other notables.
Greatest Pageant Ever.
The pageant itsef was nearly
315 mics of colorful. melodious
ife-a sort of long drawn out blaze
of glory. Every march imaginable
was snapped out by the bands, ev-
cry cheer possible came from the
marchers.
There have been longer, vaster |
pageants in San Francisco but |
there never yet has been one with |
the vibrant. vivid coloring and
life that marked the great Shrine |
procession today. There have been
pageants here where the enthus-
iastic hosts along the sidewalksi
broke through all restraint and |
hugged the marchers; there mas |
never been one before that has
produced such wide-eyed and |
awe. All of the old |
adjectives failed, and for lack Of
new ones the crowd for the most
part was dumb.
Promptly at o'clock the great
siren of the Ferry building blared
forth to the world the fact that
the pageant was on. A hush set
tied over the wide thoroughfare
that It was to be its setting. Traf
fic disappeared as though under
wand. A shrill whistled signal.
and the pageant for which the
new Islam has been waiting for
so years was on.

benedictlon was said by Dr. H. Ross Arnold. Two delightful musical num- bers, Home Sweet Home" and America" were sung, both being very appropriate.
 The feature of the centennial was the mammoth pageant-parade depict ing the history of the cty from the time it was settled up until the pres ent time. The floats were artistic in their design and decorations being the work of an artist. Each one de- picted certain stages in the develop ment of Greenville. The personnel of the floats so far as possible to do so were descendants of the families of the first settlers of Greenville. They were beautifully costumed ana where 8 garment that was worn by an early family could be it was worn by the characters on the floats Many heirlooms, almost priceless that have been handed down from one genera ton to another were seen on the floats.
 Picturesque Parade
 The parade was headed by Captain Duke Guiee. marshal of the day, and several aids who are officials in the Butler Horse Guards. Next in order came the Masonic home band, led by Mir. George Thigpen, beloved for mer citizen of Greenville Directly following the band came Col c. E. Hamilton and Gen. K. l..

 Sing a Feature
 It was very inopportune time, but immediately after the dinner thou sands of people gathered and took part in q community sing. The num- bers were accompanied by the Ma sonic home band. Nothing but fe- miliar old time numbers were sung. It was an inspiration to hear such Ia large number peel forth their voices in these old time tunes.

ssTTLLIE" FEATURES MARY
 MILES NfINTFR AT lsAIAy

The Galax is now showing little Mary Miles Minter in her latest cin- ema triumph "Tillie'- Thfs unique romance of Dutch life is taken from Helen R. Martins famous novel Of the same name. It is of unusual theme. dealing with a subject which Is seldom touched-but is neverthe- less of boundiess in>erest.
 In this picture this young star does some unusually good work. Her characterization of demure little Quaker maid is flawless. The story Is typical Mary Miles Minter ve- hicle. Her ability to put over pie lures of this type Is no doubt the reason why she is usually seen in those of this particular style.
 The plot has to do with a legacy which Tillie, Cinderella of a strict Dutch family. is supposed to fall heir to, with the stipulation that she must become a Mennonite and also marry Absolom Puntz. neighboring farmer, Poor Tillie abhors the sight of this rude parsonage but In characteristic obedience she tries to become recon- ciled to her fate.
 Tillie has found friendship with the young school teacher of the com munity very pleasant. He has taught her much beyond tho confines Of ler narrow life. As the time for her wedding draws near the little maid rebels for the first time In her life. She meets with such obstinance, how ever, that she gives up all hope of escaping the match. Finally In utter desperation she leaves home---with her one pal" her dog. This step leads to many complications, which finally eliminates in a happy end- ing.
 "TilIie" has made quite a hit on the legitimate stage and Is equally popu- lar as a motion picture. The screen version unlike many adaptations fol- lows the trend of the book in prac- ticaily every detail which adds much to Its value as far as those are con- earned who have read the novel.
