One Of the most impressive scenes in
the great revival of Quo Vadis' which
is playing at the Breed theatre to ca
pacity audiences, is that depicting the
destruction by wild beasts, of the Chris
tians in the Arena at Rome.
1t is at this point OF the progress Of
the photo-sDectacle supreme that a vivid
incident takes place, namely the rescue Of
Lygia from the furious bull, which is
about TO gore her to death. and the appeal
to the cruel tyrant Nero, on the part Of
Marcus Vinitius, 10 spare the Christian
girl.
Many spectators have thrilled visibly
during the enactment of this stirring ep-
isode, but very few probably have real
lied with what consummate care and
technical skill the scene has been prepar-
ed.
The director no longer limits himself to
a narrow circle of action: talented men,
such as directed Quo Vadis." have brok-
en- away from the trammels OF the legit-
innate stage. and their productions now
present an almost unlimited range of vi
sion.
Other pictures on the bill include

Clyde Cook in The Hunts1nan and the

GUILD HALL REMoDELED

The ladies of St. Martha's Guild,
Trinity Church, have taken advantage
of vacation days TO renovate the guild
hall with adjacent halls and kitchen.
These have been thoroughly cleaned
and the walls and ceiling painted.
Shades of Australian cloth at the
windows of the Guild Hall help to
make it homelike and attractive. We
feel sure that when they return, these
improvements will induce zest for
work on the part of the children of
the church school, and give to the
members of the Mems Club a keener
appetite.
For nominal rental, Guild Hall is
open to the public for entertainments,
social and otherwise.

Some time ago there was a lot of
talk regarding putting up some kind Of
memento for our boys who served in
the army during the world war. Up TO
the present time no attempt has been
made to show Wauwatosa's apprecia-
tion to her sons at all. Something
ought to be done and be done at once.
Nearly every city all over the coun-
try has either erected a community
house where the American Legion can
hold their meetings and parties, or
else suitable marker has been put up.
Why not do something here, we surely
have enough public spirited citizens
certainly deserving of something.
Lets get busy.

WE PRESENT "HIZZONER" THE
MAYOR

We have at the present time one Of
Wauwatosa's most popular men as the
Mayor of our city. Popular because
"Al" is one of the best all-around fell
lows in this county. He is mighty
busy man with his job of Mayor, sales
manager of the Hawks Nursery Com
pany and a good deal of fishing and
hunting to attend to. If it is any
thing regarding fishing or hunting,
everybody goes to him for his opinion
because he always knows the where
ness, howness and whyness of these
matters.
After serving the First Ward as
Alderman for five years, Mr.. Hanson
took the office of Mayor in April, 1920,
after spirited contest.
He came to Wauwatosa twenty
years ago as sales manager for the
Hawks Nursery Company, and has
been with this concern ever since.
He has ever taken keen interest in
city Affairs and has been particularly
active in promoting the welfare of our
public schools.
Mr.. Hanson has also been active in
developing athletic sports of all kinds,
such as football, basketball and base
ball.
1t is our opinion Wauwatosa will
ever remember the Mayor kindly for
his part in acquiring the Wellauer
tract as a public playground, and at
the next election will carry all wards
against any opposition which may de-
velop.
