Among the speakers who praised Mednikow ;md wished him great success in his new position were Joe Friedman, Pat Powers, Clyde Elliott, James Gillick, James Plodna, Dan Lederman, Si Grevier, Earl Johnson and William Brumberg.
Ten acts of vaudeville were presented for the entertainment of the diners and Morrie Greenwald put on his plantation show. A feature which interested the crowd was the taking of movies of the party by the International News which were developed and thrown on the screen before the gathering brok up. The guests joined in presenting Mednikow with a handsome desk set as a permanent testimonial of their regard.
