expects to stage at Convention Hall
the greatest public Shrine entertain
lnent ever seen in Washington, the
proceeds to be devoted to the fund for
the entertainment of the Imperial
Council next June. Its official name
Is said to be THE Shrine Circus and
Arabian Fete" and it will run every
day except Sunday The circus part
of the entertainment one of the most
pretentious indoor affairs ever staged,
will include acts OF national reputa-
fion and about fifty specialties: novel
ties and side attractions of the best
quality and highest reputation, all
presented on stage of mammoth
proportions. with band and orchestral
music going all the time and dancing
every evening. This feature was a
spring. where upward OF 100000
people were entertained and thou
sands turned away. Shrine temples
in other big cities also have had 1t
and from every source comes words
Of extravagant praise. But there is
also another feature. "The Arabian
Fete," which promises to rival the
circus This, it is declared, will be
not only stupendous in magnitude but
Magnificent in its colorful scenic at
traction. The hall will be open every
night, except Sunday. at o'clock and
from that hour. until midnight the
revelry will proceed. The, Almas
. mobiles feel that in this appeal to the
general public they will offer an ex-
traorsi:nary attraction at a very rea-
eonable cost which will also serve to
raise a substantial fund for the Shrine
convention. Every. noble is armed
with tickets enough to serve a wide
host Of friends. and the officers and
committees behind him are injecting
such pep into their methods that even
The faintest hearted ticket-seller is
said to be rapidly becoming a fiepd
at his business.
