FIGMAN WEDS LEADING LADY SAN FRANCISCO, .lan. 29. -Max Flgman, the well known theatrical star. rried quietly this afternoon here tn Lolita Robertson, who was his lead in In tho uroduc i ion of "The Bubstii AVIATION HEADS DULY HONORED FITTING TRIBUTE IS PAID TO COMMITTEE MEN WHO MADE EVENT SUCCESS ARE CONGRATULATED Banquet at Alexandria Hotel and a Theater Party at Orpheum Ten. dered Them—Many Com. pliments Offered As a fitting tribute to the wort of Dirk Ferris and members of the avia tion committee of the Merchants and .Manufacturers' association who worked so diligently and well to make .Los An geles aviation meet a lUOOaMi a ban quet was given last night at Hotel Al exandria, followed by a theater party at the Orpheum. For good fellowship and good will there never has been any thing given in Los Angeles like last night's affair. It rang true from tin moment the 260 guests sat down ai banquet table until they ro.se again from their seats In the theater. The guests of honor were memt» i the committee: D. A. Hamburger, chairman; Perry Weidener, Fred I*. Baker, Wm. F. Garland, M. C. Neuner, Dick Ferris and F. J. Zeehandelaar, Rev. Baker P. Lee and Mayor Alex ander. The banquet was given under the direction of Max Mi'berg, chair man; Dr. Carl Kurtz, M. H. Newmark, F. W. Blanchard, Adolph K. Braver, B. W. Pridham, J. C. Koepfli and J. Luok enback. Unique Decorations Unique in all Its appointments Wi re the banquet and the features which followed. The decorations alone were worth more than a passing glance for the spirit of the occasion had been carried out literally by the use of aeroplanes and balloons. Candy fly- Ing machines were used as serving trays. Then the parade down Broad way to the Orpheum theater was unique. It is not often that L'so men in evening dress and high hats, carry ing baskets of flowers and hundreds of toy balloons are Seen walking along a city thoroughfare to the accompani- ment of band music. Such scenes as were enacted by the audience at the Orpheum have rarely if ever before been duplicated In the historic old playhouse, although it is a "variety" theater and its walls are used to frowning down upon .sumo strange sights and hearing some strange sounds. In the Alexandria banquet hall on the second floor of the hostelry the first event of the evening took place. The room resembled the workshop of laliputian aeronauts, just ready to sit down to a feast of the gods, as the guests entered. Balloons and Biplanes From every conceivable place toy balloons floated. There must have been a thousand of them. Over the head table, where sat the honor guests, Mayor Alexander and others, minia ture Curtiss and Farman biplanes, Blerlot monoplanes, a duplicate, though smaller, of the famous balloon New York, two dirigibles and hun dreds of toy balloons whirred and floated as they had cavorted on Do minguez aviation field. One side of the table was made a bank of red roses, from the center of which spurt ed a tiny electric fountain. At the base of the fountain a tiny lake was formed. A banquet without speeches is sup posed to be like a ship without a rud der. In order to preserve the unity of things festal, there were speeches, im promptu and of one minute's duration. Max Myberg, chairman of the banquet committee and toastmaster, stated that he had promised to deliver the guests to the Orpheum management prompt ly at S o'clock. Therefore, he said, he would allow no speech-making:. But he did not reckon with his guests, for they demanded that the aviation committee. men and Mayor Alexander say just a few words. Kaeh did so gracefully. F. W. Blanchard proposed the toast to the rmnmitteemen, and Toastmaster My berg proposed one to the president of the United States. Three rousing cheers and a deeply-drunk toast was the tribute paid Henry E. Hunting ton, "the man who put up the dough," as he was called when the toast was drunk. Guests March to Theater Immediately after the banquet the guests formed in line in the lobby of the hotel and marched two by two, west on Fifth street, and north on Broadway to Second, then east on Sec ond, and south on Spring Into the Or pheum theater. Every man had a toy balloon or, rather a dozen of them, floating from his hand or coat lapel. The table decorations, dainty baskets of flowers, had been appropriated and were carried by the marchers later to be handed over-the footlights to the women performers at the theater. The line of march was through avenues of ', spectators who cheered and clapped with delight at the strange pageant. As the banqueters passed into the theater they nearly raised the roof off the place with cheers and songs. On the stage the Klks' club drill team was going through evolutions. The pn rade had been headed by the white clothed Elks, making an effective set ting to the black dress clothes of the others. Later the Elks took places in tho theater. At a signal from Mr, Myberg nearly every balloon was released and shot up to the ceiling a hundred feet. Medals for Committeemen During the intermission Rev. Baker ['. Lee presented each of the commit teemen with medals as a token for their services. D. a. Hamburger re-, sponded. Every person on the program added something to the delight of the even ing. , Mayor Alexander and the com mitteemen who occupied the front lower boxes were the butt of number less Jokes, all of which were taken in good humor. As the acts proceeded each woman performer was the recip ient of a basket of flowers. Alice Lloyd was fairly loaded down with gifts. When the last curtain came down it was to the music of cheers, ending one of the most unusual affairs ever held In Los Angeles. WOMAN FINALLY KILLS HERSELF SAN FRANCISCO.
