1922 - In the year that Esrella Martini was born, from October 22nd - 29th, 3,000 men of Benito Mussolini's National Fascist Party marched on Rome.

He was president of the Society of American Magicians and stringently upheld professional ethics. He died of complications from a ruptured appendix. Although he had received a blow to the area a couple of days previously, the connection between the blow and his appendicitis is disputed.
