SHRINERS PLAN CEREMONIAL IN TEMPLEFRIDAY Class of Candidates Will Suffer New Brand of ‘Atrocities.’ "Back to and on to Mecca’’ is the slogan adopted for their ceremonial sesston which the Murat Shriners announced is "all set” for the twentieth day of Shavan, 1352, which, they say, is known to unbelievers as Friday, Dec. 8. 1933. It will be the first ceremonial held in a year or so, and is to be an old-time affair, according to Potentate Edgar Hart. There will be candidates for the Aloslem “atrocities,” and the trip across the hot sands of the desert. 'A final rehearsal for the event was held at the temple Sunday, and all the working forces and entertainers were reported in fine form. I The wrecking “crew” under Fred | McNeely has some new stunts for the neophytes, and some of the ! old ones will be repeated for the benefit of veteran members of the j temple. Candidates Will Act There will be new’ drills by the patrol under Vernon Sheller, captain, and by the gun squad commanded by Major Harry A. Pell. Arthur W. Mason has rehearsed the Chanters in anew program of songs; and Murat’s concert • band will be directed by the widelyknow’n composer, Fred Jew’ell. Johnny Gall, Pink Hall, Otto Krauss, Cliff Richter and other thespians will provide a rapid fire line of comedy. The candidates are expected to furnish the “pathos.” There will be new scenery, new properties and other things to give the old-time Arabic diversions a characteristic setting. The potentate calls special attention to the fact, that for the first time perhaps in the temple's history, the ceremonies will not start until evening. The time set is 8 o’clock, although the candidates will report at the Michigan street entrance at 7, in order to prepare themselves for the pilgrimage. Feast to Be Spread But, the announcements say, “none of the former glory, glitter and gorgeous coloring will be omitted.” The Moslem feast will be spread at the close of the ceremonial, which is another innovation, but with Robert Zehlicke, the emir of the kitchen, and the banquet committee recruited to full force, the potentate promises that the feed will be worth waiting for, not to mention the zem-zem that will flow from the royal fountains.” Under thq action of the imperial council the fee for the order has been reduced and candidates are being listed by Charles S. Barker, the recorder. Petitions for the oriental rites will be received practically up to the time the caravan sets out at 8 p.m. All that is required of nobles, the potentate says, is the 1933 membership card, and the recorder’s window’ will be open to supply those who desire to be “up to date.” Though evening dress and fez is the prescribed garb for nobles at ceremonial, for this occasion, the “pote” says, tuxedo or business suit will suffice; but all nobles are requested to wear their fezes to lend additional color to the ceremonies. ROYAL ARCH MASONS TO CHOOSE OFFICERS Luncheon Will Follow Election in West Side Chapter. West side chapter No. 138. Royal Arch Masons, will hold its annual election of officers at 7:30 Wednesday night in the Masonic Temple, 1522 West Morris street. Following the balloting, there will be an “old time” luncheon.
