"A—6 » GALA REGEPTION THE. EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €., THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1935. Shrine Soaked in Night Parade, 'Reviewed by President and Wife OVEN POTENTATE 2,500 Marchers Meet Rainstorm With Wealth of Flowers Prove, Courage and Good Humor to Carry Attractive Setting for Brilliant Costumes. True carnival spirit prevailed at the formal reception given last night | at the Mayflower by Temj in honor of the Imperial Potentate of the Shrine and Mrs. Leonard P. Steuart. Washington does not often see such a function. The main ball | rooms, the spacious lobby were filled almost to capacity, and the huge din- ing room was opened for the supper. There were few “gate crashers” at the gay function. The entrance of the lobby was carefully guarded by a corps of Almas Nobles, and a double checking system was used. The entertainment features were as varied and contrasting as the attire of the guests. While fezes were the | order of the evening for most of the | men present, there was no regularity in the type of suit worn. Some wore full dress, others dinner jackets or business suits, and a number were in their colorful uniforms. The cos- tumes of the ladies were for the most part Summer evening frocks; however, there were a number who went from the parade to the party wearing their street costumes, samewhat rainsoaked. Floral Setting Elaborate. ‘The floral arrangements in the ball room were elaborate, the colors of the Shrine carried out in. cut flowers arranged in artistic designs over the boxes. The receiving line, composed of the Imperial Divan and their wives, | stood in the Chinese room, with former Tmperial Potentate Mr. Dana S. Wil- liams and Mrs. Williams heading the line. The new potentate, who is still suffering from injuries received in a fall, was seuted on a sofa nearby and received the greetings of the guests with a warm handshake. Mrs. Williams was in a becoming gown of figure crepe, and Mrs. Steuart wore pale green net and lace. The ball was opened with a program | by Eddie Duchin and his orchestra, which was broadcast over a Nation- wide radio hook-up. There was little dancing during this p . however, so fascinated were the Nobles and their guests in watching Duchin at the piano leading his well-known or- chestra. After the program many crowded around him for his auto- graph, and even late in the evening there were a number who hovered near to watch the musicians There were a number of vaude- ville acts on the program including several performers from the Johnny Jones Circus. The party lasted until early morning. Mrs. Roosevelt to Entertain. Mrs. Roosevelt will entertain at & garden party this afternoon on thz‘ south lawn of the White House for the ladies of the Imperial Divan and the wives of representatives of the | Imperial Council of the Shrine. Tea | will be served under gay striped | marquees under the spacious trees on the lawn and the Marine Band| Orchestra will play during the after- noon. | Before the al fresco party at the ! mansion, the wives of officials of BY THOMAS R. HENRY. ; Marching gamely through drench- ing rain, approximately 2,500 8hriners | took part last night in the parade of | Ple | uniformed bodies which had been | ! planned as one of the outstanding events of the 1935 convention. The storm, most inopportunely in- terposed between a sunny day and a moonlit night, started just before the paraders swung away from Pennsyl- vania and Constitution avenues.- The marchers refused to be balked by the elements. They tramped through water in places ankie-deep. ‘The elaborate costumes of the bands and patrols, -the evening dress of the potentates and their divans, and the white suits of the chanters all were soaked. It was, however, in no sense a woe-begone parade as it swung into the Pavillon of Omar, resplendent with its red, green and yellow oriental fans of lights, and passed the reviewing stand where it was wit- | nessed by President and Mrs. Roose- | velt. | The Shriners who marched took the ill favor of nature courageously and !in good humor. So did the crowds, which took & bad drenching. Even in | the confusion that followed the | breaking up of the parade and the frantic efforts of thousands to find shelter from the storm there was an | outstanding element of good humor. | Plans Are Interrupted. | The parade had been planned as essentially a reproduction of the day | parade of Tuesday, with the addition of floats and light effects. Only a part | of the first division actually marched. | By the time these units were under | | way the rain was falling so heayily | that the effort was obviously a futile | gesture and the units of the second | and third divisions returned to their | | hotels. President and Mrs. Roosevelt came into the reviewing stand-—where they were joined a few minutes later by Imperial Potentate Dana S. Williams and his divan—just as the head of the | parade entered the Pavillon of Omar and when the rain had bécome so heavy that many were deserting the | stands. | There were comments everywhere | on the gameness of the Shriners who marched in the face of such obvious | discomfort with smiling faces. After | the police escort, the parade was headed by the “zebra car” containing | { L. Whiting Estes, chairman of the Parade Committee, and the car of Admiral Harry G. Hamlet, head of the Coast Guard, who served as | grand marshal Then came the elaborate float of | Almas Temple of Washington. repre- | ! senting the dome of the Capitol, which | was swung back to reveal a Shriner | representing Uncle Sam.

The Albany Temple was fol- lcwed by the massed colors, the band |and the marching patrol of Mecca | Temple of New York City. Members of the patrol were arrayed in true Arablan costumes, the design of which was brought from the Near East by an Arabian who was one of the temple's early members. Then came the Montpelier, Vt. Shriners of Mount 8inai Temple, their band led by a tall, white-shakoed in front of the reviewing stand. They were followed by the nobies of Onsis Temple of OCharlotte, N. ©, pre- oeded by a sportively inclined noble on roller skates. Next in line were | the Charleston, W, Va, Shriners of Beni Kedam Temple, who presented one of the Ainest Rppearances of any unit in the parade with their red-capped band, their patrol with drawn scimi- tars, and » float representing a desert scene. Then oame the band of Jaffa Temple of Altoons, Pa., playing ap- propriately “Auld Lang Syne” for with the Jaffa Legion of Monor the rain-drenched parade came to & sud- den end. President and Mrs. Roosevelt did not leave the reviewing stand until | the last of the marchers had passed. ‘Then, all along the line of march, came the frantic scamper for sheiter of Shriners and spectators, for the storm was at its height, | | — INAVAL CONTRACTS | | MEASURE PASSED, | | drum major and the marching patrol | House Action Liberalises, or in| holding their faces gamely in the face | | of thehrlln‘ The potentate and his | Some Cases Removes, 10 Per divan had braved the storm in eve- | ning dress.

They were followed by the drum corps and patrol of Pyramid Temple of Bridgeport, Conn. the marchers carrying drawn scimitars. Then came Murat Temple of Indian- apolis, its band playing “The Banks of the Wabash.” One of the largest units in the pa- rade was that of Acca Temple of Richmond, led by Potentate James E. Price, Lieutenant Governor of Vir- ginia. The Virginians were followed by the nobles of Osiris Temple of Wheeling, W. Va, with the name of the organization spelled out in red, yellow and green lights on the breasts of the marchers. An impasing appear- ante was presented by the nobles of Rameses Temple of Toronto, 1ts color- bearers holding aloft Ci ian and Amerfean flags. Playing alifornia, Here We Come " the Shriners of Al Maleika Temple of i0s Angeles next swung before the reviewing stand. Its white-clad chanters stopped to sing for the benefit of President Roose: The straing of “Swanee River marked the approach of the band of | Hamassa Temple of Meridian, Miss., | and its band and patrol were followed by the delegation from Yaarab Temple of Atlanta. These nobles had both a lot of courage and a sense of humor, for the Atlanta band passed in front of the reviewing stand playing “It Ain't Going to Rain No More.” The liberaliging, or in some cases removing, | the 10 per cent profit restriction on | | naval construction contracts, imposed by the Vinson treaty navy act, passed the House yesterday and was sent 1o | the Senate. By permitting profits to be calcu- lated on a yearly rather than the “wu!nt individual contract basis, the | measure is intended to permit ship- | builders to recoup on one order a loss sustained on another. Contracts and | subcontracts for specialized scientific equipment would be exempted from the 10 per cent profit limit. Representative Tobey, Republican, of New Hampshire, author of the | original 10 per cent profits clause, | objected to this on the grouads | scientific equipment manufacturers | | would be able to “charge up to the blue sky, make 2,000 per cent profits if they chose and charge the entire burden of experimental work to the Government.” Chairman Vinson of the House | Naval Committee said the bill would | | put contracts on a true business basis and permit savings of $500.000 to $1,000,000 annually by a reduction in rates of surety companies, Wi Voo | SCHOOL PLANS DISPLAY Annual awards will be announced at | & reception, and style snow to be held tomorrow night by the Abbot Art, | School at 1624 H street.

The newly elected imperial outer guard of the Shriners—Alfred, G. Arvold of El Zagal Temple, Fargo, N. Daki—is a college professor and “little theater” impressario in-private life. His victory in the contest for the coveted position will make him im- perial potentate in 1948 if the usual order of advancement prevails. Long active in Shrine affairs of the Northwest, Arvold is credited with founding the Little Country, Theater movement and spends much of his time teaching young folks stage man- | ners at North Dakota State College, | | where he is professor of public expres- | sion and dramatic arts. ! 17 Years in Council, | For 17 years, Arvold has been = | representative to the imperial council, | but this is the first time he has been elected to a seat on the imperial divan. He came to the convention with the | backing of Masonic bodies in his home | sector for the outer guard post and | the Indians who make up a large part | of the membership of El Zagal Temple yelled long and loud when he was | selected for the guard position, which is equivalent to sergesnt-at-arms in most organizations, | Of French and Bnglish descent, Arvold was born in Whitewater, Wis., the son of & earpenter. He was grad- uated from the University of Wiscon- sin in 1905 and shortly after that became interested in the country thea- ter movement. His work in producing plays has been praised by George M. | Cohan, the late David Belasco and scores of other theater notables whot have visited his Little Country Thea- | ter, Jocated on the campus of the | State college. Through Arvold's efforts many of the classic dramas are as familiar on the Dakota plains as “Uncle Tom's Cabin” was in earlier days.
