Bohemian Club (of San Francisco) - Bohemian Grove
Bohemian Club (of San Francisco) Bohemian Grove Open-air Theatre crowd and orchestra during " Low 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; the more ribald is called Low Jinks (shown here). Date: circa 1912

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Bohemian Club's annual gathering at Bohemian Grove in Sonoma County, California, circa 1912. The Bohemian Club of San Francisco is renowned for its exclusive two-week-long camp, which attracts an eclectic mix of prominent figures from business, politics, and the arts. The highlight of the event is the Cremation of Care ceremony, where participants mockingly burn "Care" (representing the normal woes of life) with grand pageantry, pyrotechnics, and elaborate costumes, all set against the backdrop of a forty-foot "stone" owl statue and the edge of a serene lake. In addition to the Cremation of Care ceremony, the Bohemian Grove also hosts two outdoor performances: the more elaborate Grove Play, or High Jinks, and the more ribald Low Jinks, depicted in this image. The Low Jinks performance, known for its comedic and often satirical content, is a favorite among attendees. The crowd in the photograph eagerly awaits the start of the show, with the orchestra poised to provide musical accompaniment. The open-air theatre setting, surrounded by the natural beauty of the grove, adds to the enchanting atmosphere of this unique and historic American tradition.
