Dramatic Order of the Knights of Khorassan : ウィキペディア英語版 | Dramatic Order of the Knights of Khorassan
The Dramatic Order of the Knights of Khorassan or Dokeys are a side degree of the Knights of Pythias, somewhat analogous to the Shriners in Freemasonry. The Order was founded in 1894.〔Schmidt, Alvin J. ''Fraternal Organizations'' Westport, CT; Greenwood Press 1980 p.181〕 == Organization ==
The Dramatic Order of the Knights of Khorassan has a two tier system of organization, with local "Temples" and a national "Imperial Palace", which meets biennially. The chief national officer is called the "Imperial Prince," while local bodies are ruled by a "Royal Vizier."〔Schmidt p.180〕 Upon completing a term as Royal Vizier, a member is eligible to receive the Degree of Prince from the Imperial Palace, thereby attaining the rank of Royal Prince.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://fezmuseum.com/fraternal/knights-of-pythias/dokk/ )〕 As of 1923 the Imperial Prince was D. W. C. Yarbough of Birmingham, Alabama, a prominent manufacturer, though the Imperial Palace was located in Columbus, Ohio in the Clinton Building at the corner of High and Chestnut Streets. At the Orders convention in Portland that year Imperial Secretary A. L. Frey reported a membership of almost 100,000.〔Preuss, Arthur ''A Dictionary of Secret and other Societies'' St. Louis: B. Herder Book Co. 1924; republished Detroit: Gale Reference Company 1966; p.111〕 In 1979, the headquarters of the organization was in Des Moines, Iowa. There is a female auxiliary named the Nomads of Avrudaka.〔Schmidt p.180〕
