GIRLS BROUGHT
TO CELEBRATION
In AIRPLANES

Miss Peterson, of Gallup, because
of i'll winds prevailing when the
plane chartered to carry the city's
guests to and from their homes to
Winslow was ready to go for her,
was deprived of the pleasure of
being transported to the celebra-
ton via air route, but in order to
have her present at the banquet and
ball Saturday evening, she was, at
/ the last moment, asked to come on
the Limited, with promise that the
air ride would be made up from this
point.
Howard Patterson, in the sport
model GILL, from Santa Monica,
had been engaged to make the trip
for the girls, bringing Miss King
man and Miss Williams to Wins
low Friday afternoon and going
after Miss Gallup and Miss Hol-
brook Saturday morning, but on
account of the high wind at Will
liams Friday evening, he was COM
PEELED to remain over until Satur-
day morning at the latter place,
coming here just before noon, and
at the time the high wind began
blowing in Winslow. The GILL
was not built for high-altitude pas
senger flights, and on advice of the
government flyers in attendance, it
was deemed too dangerous to at
tempt to fly with two passengers,
but later in the afternoon, after the
wind had moderated, Miss Flanni-
gan, of Holbrook, was brought to
the grounds by Mr.. Patterson. In
the meantime Miss Peterson had
| boarded the Limited at Gallup and
was on her way.
The illness of Miss Peterson dur
ing most of the day Sunday kept
her from appearing at the grounds
and she remained in the company
of friends from Gallup at the Har-
vey House.

far recovered that she was able to
board Patterson's plane and, in
company with Miss Flanagan, was

PUBLICITY WRITER OF NOTE
ACCOMPANIES STAR HERE

With Miss Geraghty, as secretary
and companion, was a visitor Of
considerable Importance, one whose
writing most all of us have often
read, woman of wide experience
in the world, but one whose occu-
patton, that of creating fame for
others, compels her to withdraw
from a share in the limelight which
her talents should entitle her.
The quiet, charming, vivacious
little lady was Miss Edith Ryan,
secretary and press agent for Miss
Carmelita Geraghty. Miss Ryan is
also publicity agent for Miss Helen
Ferguson, another rapidly rising
star, and Miss Louise FaZenda, of
comedy and legitimate drama fame
who has occupied high position
among the stars for many years.
Miss Ryan also writes the public
ity stories for a number of male
stars, and producing companies.

spent a day or two at Grand Can
yon on their way home from Wins
low. OdI uO WSlS 1CCCIfCd LAOhl

Airway Celebration Excels
Expectations in Every Way
MOTION PICTURE
ACTRESS ENJOYS
VISIT In WTNSLOW

Pretty nearly every person in
Winslow had an opportunity to visit
with and talk to one of the most
popular and most beautiful mem
bers of the motion picture colony
Of Hollywood, Miss Carmelita Ger
agility, who represented Los An
geles at the Tri-State Airway ded-
ication celebration.
Miss Geraghty is as gracious as
she is beautiful, and is entirely I'M
spoiled by the many honors being
heaped upon her since her debut
in pictures few months ago. Her
popularity on the screen is not a
sole result of her beauty, but of her
talents as real actress, for in her
last big picture, entitled Twenty
Years Ago." a Richard Talmadge
production, she portrays the part
of an elderly woman, hiding her
youthful beauty beneath the arti-
fees of the makeup box.
Miss Geraghty, daughter of Thos.
Geraghty, of Chicago and New
York, a famous newspaper writer,
was taken by her father to Holly
wood a few years ago, where he
visited to do a special article on
the movies. Miss Geraghty became
identified with pictures as a press
agent for stars, but in a short time
was induced by directors to "do
her stuff before the camera in
stead Of behind it.
Miss Geraghty is an artist in
more ways than a motion picture
actress. Besides being a trained
writer, she is designer and
draughtsman of considerable abil-
ity. She designs clothes and hat,
and plans the costumes for the ia
nous actress, Miss Colleen Moore.
She understands all angles of the
work she is engaged in, and Wins
low people will have occasion to
feel considerable pride when, in the
very near future, Miss Geraghty is
heralded as the star Of stars in pic
lures.

MANY FLOATS In
PARADE STARTING
AIRWAY PROGRAM

A parade equalling those staged
in far larger cities than Winslow
started the two-day program of the
Tri-State Airway meet Saturday
beginning shortly after IL o'clock.
The American Legion, with Joe
Lieberman as chairman of the pa
rade committee, had charge of en-
tering and arranging floats, while
Charles Erickson brought together
the cowboys and Laguna Indians
which furnished a strong contrast
for the lavishly decorated cars and
floats. The Boy Scouts also were
on hand under direction of Scout
mas Gilbert Hunter.
The first prize, a purse of $25
was awarded to the float entered
by the Woman's club, which rep
resented a flower garden. 1t was

and flowers with girls in flower

NO BIG SHOW WAS
EVER PULLED OFF
WITH so FEW HURT

Not a single accident to person
married the success of the two-day
celebration in honor of the dedica-
ton and christening of Barrigen air
field Saturday and Sunday. Dan
gerous as the vocation Of flying is
supposed to be, and with the con-
gestion of planes, automobiles and
people on the grounds, and with
hundreds of passengers taking
short flights, not one casualty Oc-
Cured. The only semblance of ac-
cident was the collision of two
Fords outside the grounds during
the rush of leaving, and then the
only damage was two bent tenders.
Inside the grounds four flat tires
on planes and oneybroken strut rod
were the only mishaps to occur out
of more than 400 flights since the
arrival of the first planes week
before the celebration opened. Four
passenger carrying machines were
still busy late last evening satisfy
ing the demands of Winslow peo-
pie for rides.

SPECIAL STUNTS
STAGED FOR THE
MOVIE CAMERAS

A number of special stunts were
arranged for the benefit of she mo-
ton picture men who were here
during the airway celebration to
add a touch of color to the regular
program, chief of which was a
make believe welcoming ceremony
to the five visiting girls, the Misses
Peterson, from Gallup; Flanagan,
from Holbrook; Schell, from King
man; Selmon, from Williams, and
Carmelita Geraghty, from Holly
wood. Pictures of the events were
taken by Photographer Johnson, OF
the Pathe company, and Chief Pho
tographer McDonough, of the North
Island (San Diego station, who
accompanied Lieutenant Schaeffer,
for the navy news release and In
ternational News.
The mock welcome consisted of
views being taken of plane alight-
ing on the field, from which the five
girls disembarked, as though they
all had arrived on the one trip. To
get western atmosphere into the
picture, the committee of welcome
consisted of bunch of Mike Kirk s
i Navajo Indians from Gallup, some
Laguna Indians from the round
house, all decorated up with In
dian war toys for their dance, and
bunch of cowboys from the sur
rounding ranges, under the leader
ship of that dashing buckaroo,
Charley Erickson.
Other views taken were of the
parade Saturday morning, the reg
ular Indian dance by Joe Secaku-
ku's Hopis, Mike Kinks Navajos
and the local Lagunas; the para
chute jump by Ted o. Penney, and
the crowds of visitors, autos and
! planes.
