COMMITTEE ON LEGISLATIVE AND LEGAL AFFAIRS. Lambert E. Walther, Chairman. After the site and the approximate time for holding the Pageant had been determined by the Executive Committee of the Association, it became necessary to obtain permission from the City of St. Louis for holding the celebration in Forest Park. The consent of the city could be expressed only through an ordinance of the Municipal Assembly, and the duty of preparing such an ordinance devolved upon this committee. The committee also attended to the introduction of the ordinance into both branches of the Assembly and urged upon the members of the committees of the Assembly to which it was referred the prompt passage of the ordinance. It was adopted without modification, and was approved by the Mayor on December 22, 1913, being numbered 27362 of the ordinances of the City of St. Louis. The provision of the ordinance which probably did the most to win friends for it in the city legislative body was the condition that at least one-half of the seats should be free. At the outset the association was a voluntary one. But as the plans of the organization began to assume definite shape and the magnitude of the undertaking became apparent, it was found necessary to convert the association into a legal entity and this committee was called upon to prepare a petition to the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis for a pro forma decree of incorporation. This was done, and Judge J. Hugo Grimm, of Division No. 1 of the Circuit Court, on October 30th, 1913, granted a decree of incorporation to the association under the name of the "St. Louis Pageant Drama Association." With a view to making the organization a permanent force in the community, through which theru could be kept alive and...

This book was released on 2000-04-11 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Veiled Prophet organization has been a vital institution in St. Louis for more than a century. Founded in March 1878 by a group of prominent St. Louis businessmen, the organization was fashioned after the New Orleans Carnival society the Mystick Krewe of Comus. In The St. Louis Veiled Prophet Celebration, Thomas Spencer explores the social and cultural functions of the organization's annual celebration—the Veiled Prophet parade and ball—and traces the shifts that occurred over the years in its cultural meaning and importance. Although scholars have researched the more pluralistic parades of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, very little has been done to examine the elite-dominated parades of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This study shows how pluralistic parades ceased to exist in St. Louis and why the upper echelon felt it was so important to end them. Spencer shows that the celebration originated as the business elite's response to the St. Louis general strike of 1877. Symbolically gaining control of the streets, the elites presented St. Louis history and American history by tracing the triumphs of great men—men who happened to be the Veiled Prophet members' ancestors. The parade, therefore, was intended to awe the masses toward passivity with its symbolic show of power. The members believed that they were helping to boost St. Louis economically and culturally by enticing visitors from the surrounding communities. They also felt that the parades provided the spectators with advice on morals and social issues and distracted them from less desirable behavior like drinking and carousing. From 1900 to 1965 the celebration continued to include educational and historical elements; thereafter, it began to resemble the commercialized leisure that was increasingly becoming a part of everyday life. The biggest change occurred in the period from 1965 to 1980, when the protests of civil rights groups led many St. Louisans to view the parade and ball as wasteful conspicuous consumption that was often subsidized with taxpayers' money. With membership dropping and the news media giving the organization little notice, it soon began to wither. In response, the leaders of the Veiled Prophet organization decided to have a "VP Fair" over the Fourth of July weekend. The 1990s brought even more changes, and the members began to view the celebration as a way to unite the St. Louis community, with all of its diversity, rather than as a chance to boost the city or teach cultural values. The St. Louis Veiled Prophet Celebration is a valuable addition not only to the cultural history of Missouri and St. Louis but also to recent scholarship on urban culture, city politics, and the history of public celebrations in America.
