KAMRAM GRQTTO IS
MAKING READY FOR
B |G CEREMONIAL
| 400 Candidate Will Be In
itiated Into Fraternal
Order

Kamram grotto. Mystic order
Yelled Prophets of the Enchanted
Realm. are making ready for their
big ceremonial session to be held at
the Masonic temple May 10, when
about 1.400 candidates will be initi
ated, the largest single initiation
held by the order anywhere in the
United States. During the afternoon
parade will precede the ceremo-
NAL, which promises in itself to be
one of the biggest spectacles ever
staged by the grotto in the entire
south
The order. while new to Birming
ham, has made remarkable strides in
the Magic City, the big class init
alton of a few weeks ago being the
largest ever held anywhere in the
country. Eligible to membership in
the grotto are Master Masons, and
the order is strictly one of the big
fun branches of the Masonic order.
The order is said to have been
founded upon very ancient Persian
manuscript. and while not connected
directly with the Masonic order its
members are gathered from the
ranks of Master Masons.
Elaborate plans are being made
for the ceremonial May 10, and the
affair will be one of the greatest
events in all Birmingham fraternal
history. The phenomenal growth in
the district has probably never been
eaualed by any other similar ergani-
cation. and it is considered a most
remarkable record that a class of
1.400 candidates should follow so
closely on the heels of the recent big
ceremonial, when about 1900 were
added to the ranks of the local
order.
