 When Mayor Weld and some of our guests were induced to come to our party it was with the distinct understanding that they would not be asked to speak and we are going to remain true to that promise. We do. however, want Mayor Weld, ex- Mayor Paonessa, MT. Vance, and Mir. Kranowitz to know how much pleasure it is giving us to have them as our guests tonight. All of these gentlemen are close to the heart of our organization because they have done big things for our city and have proven to be good friends of our organization. and personally. We hope this evening will prove to be a gala one in their lives as it is in ours and that they will enter into the festivities in the spirit of one of our own organization, and so - to- night the house is yours-its portals open wide and welcome you to all inside. Enter, good friends. with hearty zest. the house Is yours.'
 20 Acts of Vaudeville
 The 25 year club and guests were furnished with special seats at the entertainment which took place on the sixth floor of the new building, where 8 group of actors furnished by the Clements Entertainment Bureau gave a vaudeville show of 20 acts. each one little better than the preceding and all very good. At least 5000 people gathered at this affair. there being about 2,600 chairs in place and probably about 400 standing. The stage was erected in the center of the oblong hall and loud speakers relayed the voices of tn actors to every point in the temporary auditorium which will, before long. witness the production of some of the diversified Universal line. That 1t was factory building was hardly apparent last evening, however. Decorations effectively dis guised it's structural appearance.
 Hardly were the last strains of the concluding chorus ceasing to is- sue from the loud-speakers than a new note became apparent. the rumble of the wheels of small hand trucks propelled by employees of the factory who were dressed in the white aprons and hats of the con- ventionaI chef to distinguish their purpose. And thus the enormous task of distributing food to the guests got under way. It was some- what amusing and novel. this new way of meeting distribution prob- lems. evolved by the committee on arrangements, though 1t was thor oughly efficient beyond question as everyone in the hall was served in a short time with a lunch that was much more than satisfac- tory to guests at the preceding din- ner at least who had reached the much discussed "saturation point" some time before.
