The feature of the occasion was an elaborate dinner served at 11 o'clock. The menu, which was in five courses, included real Italian spaghetti, a dish for which Mrs. Malambri is noted.
W. Elson of Chicago, production manager of the Balaban & Katz theaters, acted as toastmaster; and his fun and originality added greatly to the entertainment of the occasion. His interpretations of the Charleston was another enjoyable feature.
Mrs. Malambri was assisted in serving the dinner by Mrs. Frank Malambri, Mrs. Nick Malambri, and Mrs. Sullivan Bonansinga.
