RIVERSIDE, May 9 (Exclusive) -- Ed (Strangler) Lewis, famous wrestler, and Miss Elaine Tomaso, art student formerly of Chicago, were married here last night. More than thirty friends of the couple were present in the St. Cecelia chapel of the Mission Inn when Rev. Samuel Hughes performed the ceremony.
Miss Carla Tomaso, sister of the bride, served as bridesmaid, and B.C. Sandow, the wrestler's manager, was best man. The bride wore a white satin dress, under a wedding veil. In applying for the marriage license the bridegroom had stated his true name is Robert H. Frederick and that he is 34 years of age. The bride gave her age as 25 years. Her father is Salvatore Tomaso, composer. The couple remained at the Mission Inn overnight and plan to go to Arrowhead today for a two weeks' stay.
