Bohemian Club (of San Francisco) - Bohemian Grove

Bohemian Club (of San Francisco) Bohemian Grove Open-air Theatre crowd and orchestra during " High Jinx". Every year, the club hosts a two-week-long (three weekends) camp at Bohemian Grove, which is notable for its guest list and eclectic Cremation of Care ceremony which mockingly burns " Care" (the normal woes of life) with grand pageantry, pyrotechnics, and brilliant costumes, all done at the edge of a lake and at the base of a forty-foot " stone" owl statue. In addition to that ceremony (devised by co-founder James F. Bowman in 1881), there are also two outdoor performances (dramatic and comedic plays), often with elaborate set design and orchestral accompaniment. The more elaborate of the two is the Grove Play, or High Jinks (shown here); the more ribald is called Low Jinks. Date: circa 1912
