HERE APR. %
Which Will Be Free to the
Public-Magic City VIII
Show Pictures Free Day
and Night-2OOO Visitors
Expected Saturday.

AS definite details for the Shrine
festivities here on Saturday, April 20,
are announced, the more certain it is
that you will have to suspend work
for the day and stay up most of the
night in order to take in all the edo
ings." There will not be less than
two. thousands visitors in Bogalusa
for the day, including those who will
drive here from every nearby town.
If Pearl river recedes enough to per-
nit traffic through the swamp, this
number may be considerably sweIled.
Not less than one thousand will come
from New Orleans, and it may that
one or two of the special trains re-
turning North with Knights Templar
will stop over for the day.
Free Minstrel Show
One of the latest additions to the
program is the 1922 Follies," the
Shrine show which is making a weeks
run in New Orleans, and will be
! brought here and put on at the High
School Auditorium, free of charge to
the public. This feature will cost the
Shriners money-the fact that the
show is charging 81 admission and
is playing to packed houses in New
Orleans gives an idea of the interest
! New Orleans Shriners are taking to
make the event here eclipse any fes-
Invites ever given in the state. Of
course, they will not be able TO use
their special scenery here because the
stage at the High School is not large
enough to permit it, but the songs,
the jokes and the acts will be identi-
cal with the production in New Or
leans this week. The show will come
here from Lake Charles where it will
play the early part Of next week.
Free Shows at Magic City Theater
The local Shrine Club has leased
the Magic City Theater for Saturday,
April 20, and will give continuous
show, starting at p. m. Salvation
Nell, one of the latest and best mo-
tion pictures, as we'll as a good COM
eaV, will be shown. Children will be
admitted free to the matinees and the
grOup-ups can attend in the afternoon
or evening, and children, when ac-
companied by their parents, or adults,
will be admitted free 10 the evening
performance.
Dance at Paper Mill
Mrs. Blanche Roach, who is look
looking after the details of the dance,
announces that the ladies of Bogalusa
are invited to attend. No invitations
will be mailed out Members of the
Masonic Lodge, whether they belong
in Bogalusa or elsewhere, are also in
vited. 1t has been decided to hold
the invitations for the gentlemen to
membership in the Masonic order,
owing to the fact that there will be
several hundred gentlemen here,
members of the Shrine, who will not
be accompanied by ladies. Music for
the dance will be furnished by a New
Orleans orchestra.
Parade Moves at 1870
The parade, which will be of more
interest than a circus parade, will
leave the Y. NJ. c. A. at l 80 p. m.
and proceed down Fourth street to
Columbia street, up Columbia street
to Alabama avenue and back to the
Y. NJ. C. A.
Mayor Sullivan has not officially
resigned from leading the parade, rid
ing a camel and even if his resigna-
ton should come now, it would not
be accepted.
The Shrine Band of so pieces and
the local band will appear in the pa
rade, and possibly Meridian and
Jackson, Miss, may send bands.
May Be Two Trains
Already there are enough reserva-
tions to insure a special train of Is
coaches from New Orleans, and hun
dreds of people will motor here from
every section of Louisiana and Mis-
there will be few peo-
pie in Bogalusa who will work that
day. Mayor Sullivan is expected to
issue a proclamation calling a half
holiday, but this has not been def
nitely decided upon.
Drill Will Be Great
The drill by Jerusalem Temple Pa
troll, which will be held in the park
opposite the G. s. L. administration
building, will be one of the most in
teresting attractions of the day, as
the work of this patrol has attracted
much admiration throughout the coun-
try wherever they have appeared at
national meetings.
Band Concerts
There will be band concerts by the
Jerusalem Temple band and by the
local band. CnOcerts will be held in
North Bogalusa in the morning and
at Goodyear Park in the afternoon.
Nothing is being left undone to make
the day one of the greatest in the his
,ory of Bogalusa.
