cepts Throne of Court

ACCLAIMED BY POPULACE
Surrounded by Magnificently
Gowned Court Reign of
Joy Is Begun.
Her Royal Majesty Catherine of
the House of Franklin Queen of the
Court of the Year was crowned with
all due pomp and circumstance be-
fore her loyal subjects Thursday
night.
The Mejestic Theater was decked
to receive her with lights and col-
ors and greenery. It was packed
from pit to gallery with all of well-
dresse<VSan Antonio that could be
wedged in. They came in automo-
biles find blocked the streets and
stopped the traffic and added light
laughs and brightness t o the already
happy spirit of the town.
There have l»een coronations and
coronations but be it said that this
one seemed to outshine them all
maybe because the othfrs were
memories and this a present display.
There were however two innova-
tions in the progress of coronation
ceremonies. The crown and scepter
were presented by the queen of the
last carnival Mayme of the House
of Story Queen of the Court of
Spring to Catherine Queen of the
Court of the Year; and were placed
upon her head by an archbishop in
robes end mitre and all Archbishop
Dick of the House of Terrell High
Ecclesiastic of the Realm.
Pgas Down Long Aisle.
The theater had been ingeniously
arranged for th display. An <n-
trance platform from the rear loggia
had been built across the tops of
the center section of seats. This
passageway was draped with dark
green and* outlined with ferns and
strings of electric lights. The
duchesses entered from the loggia
which was covered with greenery
and autumn leaves and passed down
the long raised aisle while the spot-
light played upon their jeweled
dresses and brilliantly colored trains.
They met their dukes on the st?ge
curtesied low before them and toox
their places on cither side and to
the front of the throne.
The scene was made more mag-
nificent still more a realistic court
by the costumes worn by the man.
The dukes were in full court attire
satin knee breeches frilled shirts
capes lined with colors to harmon-
ize with the trains worn by the
duchesses buckled shoes and the
insignia of their renk pinned upon
their breasts.
The Archbishop> robe was copied
exactly from that of a German pre-
Jatt and was richly magnificent. The
robe was of richest crimson fatin
covered by %ream Uce. The long
white s. lid stole was fringed and
embroidered with gold. Over all was
a heavy robe of purple velvet. He
wore a mitre and carried everything
that ai ought to carry.
He was attended by two acblytes
In crimson satin robes covered with
white lace. They were Neil Graham
and Gordon Jersig.
Empty < ourt Disclos'd.
When all the well dressed throng
had found its way into the theater
the curtain rore slowly the alights
went dim except for the footlights
and the brilliant string along the
raised entrance way. A feeling of
suppressed expectation. softened
lights and music filled the theater.
The curtain came up slowly and
disclosed the empty court.
At the rear of the stage the throne
on its raised dais stood out upon
the back-ground of deep red. Above
the throne a huge shower of Americ-
an beauty roses threatened to spill
down and spread their redness over
the stage. Garlands of red roses
and vines were trailed overhead.
The throne was empty but on either
side stood the line of waiting dukes
and lords and knights.

Walter. Earl of Napier Archduke
of the Zodiac Lord High Chamber-
lain of the realm came f< rw?rd.

rang in stentorian tones:
