W0MAN'S CLUB PRESENTS
HISTORICAL PROGRAM

Woman's Club last week Thursday
evening at the Community House, was
we'll received by AN audience of about
six hundred and fifty people. The
STORY of our Town" was told by a
grandmother to her little grandchil-
dren in beautiful manner, and each
tableau and sCene, as they were acted
on the stage, beautifully illustrated
the tale. Appropriate music filled each
pause and added to the atmosphere of
the story. Each of the hundred actors
did his best in his moment on the
stage, and greatly enjoyed recreating
the characters of long ago. The audi
ence toe, caught the spirit of the story
and listened and looked and applauded
IN manner expressing true apprecia-
ton of the beautiful story.
DR.. Nellie Fisher wrote the poem
which appears in another column and
the simple sweet style added much dig
nifty to the story.
Miss Miriam Hoyt was tireless in
planning and arranging the pageant
and to her fine ability as a director
is due the success of the evening.
Mrs. Robbins and the Historical
Committee wish to thank all who took
part or helped in any way with the
pageant for their hearty cooperation,
for it really was the true Wauwatosa
spirit of willing helpfulness that made
the Pageant possible.
