enth annual assembly in t he
4 chapter chamber, Masonic Tenn
pie, Saturday evening. April s.,
FOR the annual election of officers and
such other business as may come be-
fore it.
The new club house Of Almas Temple
Of the Mystic Shrine, with its elab-
crate adornment proposed by Ilustrious
Potentate James C. Hoyle, had its first
'once-over' by an admiring host of
the mobiles and served its first official
duty in housing the potentate'S special
meeting last Tuesday evening. Those
who had the good fortune to be in at
tendance say that it lost nothing in the
crucial test. but rather inspired enthu-
eiastic prophecy and started imagina-
tionS on its ultimate possibilities. The
potentate was there in all his glory,
BIS a matter of course, and with bells
On his fingers" so to speak, for he had
with him Noble Clifford Bergman, ia
nous cartoonist of The Evening Star,
whose artistry in his line has placed
him in the ranks of the foremost car
toonists Of the world and Noble Roy.
Sexton, chairman of the entertainment
committee. with Lloyd Gaines and a
string quartet that before the evening
was finished warmed listless hands into
enthusiastic applause OF its enter
tainment program, which followed the
business session of the temple.
Potentate Hoyle, after cordially well
coming the sheik of the caravan and
beStowing a special smile upon those
whose camels had not been seen frequent
" in recent years, launched into an
exposition of his administrative program
for. the year, and there was more hand
clapping, with not a few cheers to en-
him Hn dVplf with CTPrfal
emphasis upon the forthcoming official
visit of Imperial Potentate Leo v.
Youngworth and the elaborate ceremo-
NAL that was being prepared for Thurs
day evening, April 3, at the Belasco
Theater, when, for the first time in
Masonic history, the entire cast of cere-
monialistS will be composed of past
grand masters of the Grand Lodge of
Masons of the District, who also were
present to listen to his laudations. Not
all of these past grand masters have
ever occupied Shrine ceremonial posi-
TONS and in view of that fact the po-
tentate stated that they we're being
specially groomed for the occasion, and
none thus far had not manifested the
eternal fitness of things in his selection
for the new duties. The potentate re-
minded the vaobles that no petitions for
the ceremonial class could be legally &C
cepted after Saturday evening, March
29, and that 1t therefore behooved the
mobiles to get busy in the efforts to
honor the imperial potentate with the
largest, or at least the most satisfying,
army of neophytes that had ever been
presented in an AlmaS ceremonial. And
then Cliff Bergman began drawing
hkenesSeS of Presidents of the United
States and accompanying each with his
torical episodes that made the mobiles
wonder. Sexton and Gaines showed
reels of familiar scenes taken at
Imperial Council sessions in the past
and the string quartet stirred the
musical souls to an appetite Tor
an elaborate buffet luncheon that
had been prepared for the OCCASION
after which the mobiles made night of
it in peering into every nook and corner
of the new club house, asking questions
of this and that and finally talking
everything over in clouds of cigar smoke,
which are always provided, it is said,
for Shrine angels.
