VEILED PROPHET IISIT ’ TO COSIJVER 550,000 Never Did Mysterious St. Louis “Ruler” Spend So Much on One Night’s Amusement as He Will on October 5. Mohs? J-W' FLOAT NQ-2. MYTHS AND LEGENDS. TITLE FLOAT OF THE VEILLO PROPHET’S 1915 PAGEANT.

Word has come through mysterious but absolutely reliable channels from the Den of the Veiled Prophet that he will spend on his thiry-eighth annual street pageant at St. Louis the night of Tuesday, October 5, and the ball immediately following it, between $50,000 and $60,000, the largest sum that he ever devoted to one night’s amusement. According to the Veiled Prophet’s courier, himself a mysterious figure, who differs from most press agents not only in that his writings have genuine literary merit but also in that all his announcements are ultraconservative, the total cost oi a Veiled Prophet visit in former years has been between $40,000 and $50,000. His Mysterious Majesty has been guided throughout his long reign by a spirit of the utmost generosity, each year spending his entire income to treat the public to one big night. Assuming that he finances his pageants by taxing his “subjects,” his larger expenditure this year than previous years would seem to be accounted for by an increase in his following. Twenty-two Electric Floats. “Legends and Myths of All Nations” will bo the theme of the Veiled Prophet’s 1915 pageant, which will consist of 22 electric floats, each manned by a group of men in appropriate costume. Besides the fair-sized fortune that the Prophet has set aside for the enjoyment of the people attending the St. Louis Fall Festivities of 1915, probably as much again will be expended by St. Louisans on various other features of Veiled Prophet Week, including the St. Louis Agricultural Fair, October 4 to 9, which is regarded as a revival of the famous fair that until recent years was held in St. Louis during the week of the Prophet’s visit; the St. Louis Automobile Show, with its first display in America of the 1916 models; the Mississippi River Carnival, the afternoon of Sunday, October 10, with its parade of more than 200 decorated motor boats, speed-boat and rowing races, balloon ascension from midstream and other aquatic events; the Buy-in-St. Louis displays, whereby St. Louis manufacturers, jobbers and wholesalers, in accord with a proclamation by the mayor of the city, will try to prove St. Louis the foremost of the central markets cf the United States; special exhibits at the Jefferson Memorial (home of the Missouri Historical Society), Shaw’s Garden and the City Art. Museum and a concert the evening of October 9 by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Another event of much interest to music lovers will be the grand opera October 11, 12 and 13, by the Boston Grand Opera Comp. >*■■ in conjunction with the Pavlowa Lillet Russe, under the auspices of the St. Louis Grand Opera Committee. The Float Titles. The titles of the floats of the Veiled Prophet Pageant will be as follows: 1, Ths Veiled Prophet; 2, Title Float, Myths and Legends; 3, The Second Labor of Hercules; 4, The Golden Fleece and the Argonauts; 5, Second Voyage of Sindbad; 6, Cyclops; 7, The Three Golden Apples; 8, Cerberus; 9, The Wooing of the Maid of Beauty; 10, Kambalu; 11, Pandora; 12, Cinderella; 13, Beauty and the Beast; 14, Blue Beard; 15, Good King Arthur; 16, The Star and the Lily; 17, Puss in Boots; 18, The Fair One with the Golden Locks; 19, Evangeline; 20, Hiawatha; 21, Rip Van Winkle; 22, Hansel and Grethel. Theme of the Pageant. "From Hercules to Hiawatha runs the theme of the Veiled Prophet Pageant of 1915,” says the V. P. courier in his official prophecy. “The subjects have beep taken from many classics of childhood. Ferocious beasts, terrifying giants and wicked - Job** will pass through the streets of St. Louis on the night of October 5. But with them will be the heroes who performed prodigies of valor, whose bravery was more than a match for the monsters of evil. Cerberus, the Hydra and the Cvclops lose their powers to alarm when with them appear Ulysses, Jason. Amiable Avenant and those other brave men of ancient times. “Not all of the myths and legends the Veiled Prophet has chosen

' to represent treat of bloody deeds. There are Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast to tell of the rewards which goodness in the gentler forms may bring. In Pandora and Blue Beard I is the rebuke of seeking forbidden I knowledge. No people and no age are without their legends. The Star and the Lily is an Indian myth of i mystic meaning. Strange relationi ships in this legendary lore may ba traced. The Wooing of the Maid of Beauty is known by another name in I the country from which it originated,■ Finland. There the title is Kalevala, i This legend of the Finns has found its way down through the centuries' to suggest the measure of Hiawatha. To remind this practical, workaday generation that young, prosaic Amer ica has its legends, the Veiled Prophet presents a scene from Rip Van Winkle.” Veiled Prophet Up-to-Date. Insomuch as all large nations make : use of aeroplanes and submarines, the Veiled Prophet feels that he can employ them without being in the least unneutral. The courier’s description of lloat No. 1 follows; “As befits days of the aeroplane ■ and the submarine, the builder has designed for the Vailed Prophet’s I thirty-eighth journey through the I streets of St. Louis a combination of sky wagon and water craft. He has departed from the massive triumphal cars of former years. This year the Grand Oracle and the High Priests ■ have a conveyance equipped for travel in the air or in the water. The motive power is no longer the gigani tic sea serpent or the ponderous mastodon. Here are spirited horses that ; have wings for use when the comI mand is to soar aloft and fins when the trip Is by sea. Eagles perch on , the tails of these strange animals. A j silken canopy as airy as a parachut* lis t,he only covering. Dolphins sport 'on either side. Stars look down from I above. Nodding flowers in the midst of light draperies form the background. Never before has the Veiled Prophet appeared in such a novel and artistic conveyance.” Description of Title Float. The title float, a picture of which illustrates this article, is described by the courier as follows; “Forecasts of the wonders to follow crowd the title float. The roc, that mighty fowl, which laid eggs that were fifty paces round and which carried humans more safely than a. Zeppelin or an aeroplane, is poised for flight. Upon its back is seated a young' woman with tablet and pencil to record the wonders seen. Delighted children dance around and point upward to the woman on the roc, in antlcipa- ; tion of the legends and myths she will discover and tell them. In this day there are those students of child I nature who earnestly advocate that i myths and legends—fairy tales if you like that description better—should always be available to the juvenile mind. They argue with force that strange tales are most valuable textbooks. They rank th* wonder story as more important in the early period of life than the multiplication table, the grammar and the geography. Why? Because the myth and the legend stimulate the imagination and I that is t,he first step in education. If this be so, then the Veiled Prophet has prepared an extraordinary lesson | for young St. Louis in this pageant of 1915. A monster with a sword such |as Hercules might have wielded driven to the hilt in its head sprawls lin death agony. A woman holding aloft the great star of hope rides a Bengal tiger, teaching that brute force must always yield to beauty. So much is there to be seen and comprehended on this title float that it will pass all too quickly.” Route of V. P. Pageant. The pageant is scheduled to start at 6:45 p. m. and finish at 10:10 p. m. The route, as announced by the V. P. aourier, follows: East from Den on Walnut street to Twenty-first street, north on Twenty* first street to Market street, west on Market street to Jefferson avenue, west on Laclede avenue to Grand avenue, north on Grand avenue to Lueas avenue, east on Lucas avenue to Compton avenue; south on Compton avenue to Washington avenue, east on I Washington avenue to Fourth street I south on Fourth street to Market street, west on Market street to Baoadway, north on Broadway tr Oiive street, west on Olive street t® Jefferson avenue and north on Jefferson avenue to the Locust street entrance to the Coliseum.
