unuer me aireciion 01 unanes dark, a member of the former Calumet Stock
company. Jimmy Lucas, who has al
ways been a great favorite with the
vaudeville tans In this section of the
city will head the bill of specialties.
Mr. Lucas is a dancer, singer and im
personator of great ability and re
cently played near the top of the bill
at the Majestic theater downtown.
On Sunday, April 25, for one day
only, "The Royal Chef," originally produced at the Garrick theater, Chicago.
will be offered to the patrons of the Calumet theater. This is the same
play that since that time has been a
phenomenal "hit" throughout the country with a company of sixty people, including the famous "Broilers" and thir
ty distinct song hits.
It will be played at the Calumet at
absolutely the lowest prices it has
ever been t offered anywhere in the country. The prices for the matinee
will be from 15 to 50 cents and for the evening performance the prices will range from 25 to 75 cents.
That all of the cities in Lake, Porter and Laporte counties will boost the efforts of the Hammond Masons to secure a Shrine temple in this city, was made certain during the past two or three days as a result of the canvass that has been made by representatives from the proposed Hammond Shrine who visited the cities of Whiting, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor, Valparaiso, Hobart, Gary and Michigan City. As soon as the Hammond Shrine is given its charter the Shriners from the above-named cities will have the opportunity to take their demit from the temple in -which they originally took their degree and may become members of Orak temple, which is to be the
name of the Hammond Shrine.
Hammond Maxon Live. The fact is generally recognized that
the Masons of northern Indiana, and especially In Hammond, are the livest propositions in the state. Their exploit in organizing a class of 101 candidates
for the Shrine and in making arrangements for the giving of the Shrine degree In this city, together with the parade and all the rest of the celebration, attracted the eyes of Masons all over the state.
It is understood that this splendid
showing is what has placed the Ham
mond Masons in a favorable light before the imperial council, and accounts
for the encouragement which Hammond has been given at Indianapolis.
At the lowest estimate, the Ham
mond Shrine will have laO members,
and it is expected that it will have 200
members before the application for a charter Is turned in. The first class that will be initiated in Tammond after the Orak temple is established here
will consist of at least fifty members,
which will make the membership to the
Hammond Shrine at least 230, and perhaps 300.

Hard Work to Gt Charter.
The enterprise of the Hammond Ma
sons in going after a Shrine temple 1
shown when the steps necessary to se
cure one for this city are known.
The flrst step is the election or a po
tentate and a recorder. Dr. H. E. Shar
rer was elected potentate, and John W.
Morthland was elected recorder of th
proposed Orak temple.
Xext, application was mada to the
imperial recorder at Boston for a blank
petition, which is to be filled in by th
northern, Indiana Shriners. This pe
tition is now being filled In and will b sent to the potentate of Murat tempi
at Indianapolis.
The potentate of Murat temple will
then appoint a committee to take up' the consideration of the petition and report at its next meeting. If It is favorably reported upon the request that a shrine be established in Hammond will be granted, and word to that effect will be sent to the imperial potentate at Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Order Special Dispensation. The potentate at Cedar Rapids will then order that a special dispenstatlon be granted to the Hammond Shriners to organize Orak temple, and a representative of the potentate will be delegated to carry the charter of the Hammond temple to this city. A committee will then be selected to do the work, and Hammond's first Shrine class will be a fact. Hammond will be given exclusive jurisdiction in Iake county and concurrent jurisdiction in the state of Indiana, except in the
cities and counties where there are already Shrine temples. The Hammond Masons and Shriners are delighted over the success they have had in the work of securing candidates, and the list of those who will affiliate with the Hammond temple is larger than was originally anticipated.
