On opening night, Mabel Normand sent her former co-star a life-sized model of herself made of flowers and her husband, Lew Cody, emceed the show while Tom Mix led the orchestra. Some of the first-nighters were Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks Snr, Buster Keaton, the three Talmadge Sisters, Harry Langdon, and Bebe Daniels.
