The Broadway Baron ==
Lew Payton Obituary, Variety, Dec 2, 1925; Lew Payton, 39, vaudeville agent and former performer, died at the Misericordia Hospital, New York City, Nov. 25 as the result of a paralytic stroke. He had undergone an operation for stomach trouble a few days previous and was on the road to recovery when seized with the stroke. Three hours before death the deceased embraced the Catholic faith. Funeral services were held from St. Malachy's Church Nov. 27. Internment was made at Calvary Cemetery, Brooklyn, N.Y. Mr Payton was born in New York City. He entered show business at an early age, appearing mostly in vaudeville under the team name of Payton and Lunn, and Payton and Hussey. Five years ago he retired from the stage to engage in the agency field, affiliating with Sam Fallow, Loew agent. He left that office to join Mandel & Rose, also Loew agents, by whom he was employed at the time of his death. Known to his intimates as "The Broadway Baron," Payton enjoyed a wide circle of friends. Whenever a fellow player was flying a distress signal Payton was one of the first to the rescue, and this charitable trait made for him a legion of friends. Payton is survived by a widow, Mrs. Viola Payton, a non-professional.
