Aleppo Shriners

From the Aleppo Archives: Sorry, no refunds...

Unfortunately 2026 is not a leap year, if it was (and it was the early 1900s), you may have purchased tickets for Aleppo's Leap Year Theatre Party which in 1912 featured a performance of John Mason in Noble Augustus Thomas' play "As a Man Thinks". Mr. Mason is fresh off of what will be considered the greatest role of his career in "The Witching Hour" which ran for a record 970 shows! And special thanks to Noble Edward Smith, Manager of the Shubert Theatre for arranging the event; it's good to know people in the know!

From the Aleppo Archives: look your best!

We always enjoy seeing the little travel accessories which were often given out as souvenirs from Shrine events, especially the Imperial Sessions. This piece was from the 1934 session and was a garment brush, the case of which opened to reveal a buffing pad. The brush was perfect for cleaning off your wool coat or getting any stray lint off your suit, while the buffing pad could clean up scuffs on your shoes. A piece from a bygone era!

From the Aleppo Archives: "How do you say that?"
..was my question as I ran into some Nobles from Boumi Temple in the elevator at the 2019 Imperial Session in Nashville. In my head I always had it as something like "Bow-ooh-my" so I felt a little foolish when the Noble replied "it's just Boo-me"; sometimes the simplest option is the correct one... So in apologies to our Nobles from Baltimore for consistently over-pronouncing their Temple name, here is "The Book of Boumi" from 1934 which we recently digitized along with a couple other items from our archives. The detailed history of the Shrine and Boumi Temple was produced for their 50th anniversary and contains many great photos and details across its 508 pages:
