Many of the members of the congregation which -flowed the nave of the church Sunday morning remembered another Sunday morning 25 years ago, which hadn't been as joyous an occasion as yesterday. On Sunday morning, Jan. 3, 1926, the Red Brick church, as it was then known and the fourth the congregation's church founding in 1826, was destroyed by fire. Many who had come to attend the church services, stood across the street that cold Sunday morning and watched the flames consume their church.

Dedicated In 1929 During the period of reconstruction, the Rev. C. W. Boag, D.D., was pastor of the church. The contract for the present building was let on July and the structure was dedicated by Bishop Frederick D.

Leete, L.L.D., on July 28, 1929. Cost of the building and furnishings was $240,000, a debt now liquidated. In recognition of the 125 years of Methodism in Green Bay and the mortgage-burning ceremony, Bishop H. Clifford Northcott, resident bishop of Wisconsin, came from Madison to deliver the sermon Sunday morning at First church. His topic was "Our Line of Splendor." Also participating in the ser-.

vice were pastor, the Rev. William A. Riggs, and the immediate past pastor, the Rev. Daniel H. Stahmer, D.D., Appleton, now superintendent of the District of the Appletons Methodist church.

Special Anthems Special anthems, "Praise the Lord, Jerusalem," Maunder, and "The Creation," Richter, were offered by the choir under the direction of Mrs. Neal Graf, acting director. At the close of the service, as members joined in the doxology, Paul Klima, debt retirement campaign chairman, lighted the paper which signified the burning of the mortgage as the Bishop and the pastor held the paper over a bowl held by L. G. Wood.

Also participating in this part of the ceremony were G. O. Eiler, debt retirement treasurer, who presented the mortgage to John Evans, chairman of the board of trustees, who in turn gave it to the Bishop.

Miss Leona Smith To Be Featured Soloist Sunday Miss Leona Smith, the little Canadian girl with the big voice, will be the featured soloist with the Green Bay Community Theater chorus, when they give their spring concert at East High school auditorium Sunday evening. Miss Smith is well remembered by the 6,000 people who saw her in the part of Gretchen in "The Red Mill" last February.

Next Sunday she will display her ability in a different vein however, as her section of the concert will consist of three operatic arias. Miss Smith will sing the Csardas from "Die Fledermaus" by Strauss; "Love and Music, These Have I Lived For," a well known aria from Puccini's opera and "The Shadow Song" from "Dinorah" by Meyerbeer. All of the arias will be sung in English, and are melodic enough so that they should appeal to everyone, says director Russ Widoe. The singer is 19 and was born in Nova Scotia. Miss Smith has lived most of her life in Montreal, Canada.

She came to Green Bay about a year ago and has been (studying since with Russ Widoe. She has studied previously in a girls school attached to the University of Montreal and has been singing since she was old enough to read the words. The entire concert in which Miss Smith will appear as guest will consist of three choral groups, secular, sacred and patriotic. The latter section is made up of the cantata "Ballad for Americans" and will feature members of the Green Bay Symphonette in the accompaniment and will be conducted Herman Daumler. Tickets are available from members of the chorus at Newmans, Swanstrom's, the Rocket restaurant or Shaughnessy Drug store.

Plans are being made for summer wedding. Garrett Photo MRS. GEORGE W. BIELEFELDT Mostly Newcomers Seen in Community Theater Play By RUTH EILER When you hear the familiar strains of "There's No Business Like Show Business," issued forth from the stage of East High school auditorium, you can usually make a safe bet that an audience is settling back probably uncomfortably to enjoy a night of the amateur theater via Green Bay Community Theater players. "The Torch Bearers," week end product of Community Theater (it's on stage again tonight) is a disappointment! I was anxious to see this threeact satirical comedy as interpreted by Community Theater.

Director Herbert J. Sellissen carefully worked over the third act of the comedy, which has previously fallen "flat." Those of us who saw the Peninsula Players do the play last summer remembered the anticlimax of that act. Whether it's George Kelly's play KERSTEN Drug Store 221 CHERRY ST. Ph. Adams 1081 ABDOMINAL SUPPORTS Wedding Announcements TWO-DAY SERVICE Open Evenings by Appointment Visit Us at Our New Location 317 PINE STREET Advance Printing PHONE HOWARD 3050 or whether Selissen didn't change enough of the goings on, the third act still falls flat.

The play as a whole is a wearing one, full of screeching voices and awkward tumbles. But, the acting isn't as disappointing as the play! A cast of almost all newcomers to the C. T. stage certainly can't be blamed entirely for a show that could be better. Mae Saunders and Joan Jandrain look like excellent future Community Theater lead material.

Miss Saunders carries one of the four or five leading roles in this play. Hampered by the shrill voice her part requires, she does Close to 1,150 people saw "'The Torch Bearers," satirical comedy about the little theater movement in the 1920's, over the week end. The play will be presented again at 8:30 this evening on the stage of East High school auditorium. Tickets will be available at the door. Seats are not reserved.

show extreme ease on stage, good expression and she's also one of the most attractive young women we've seen on a C. T. stage for a time. Miss Jandrain has a small part in "The Torch Bearers," but she's on stage just long enough to impress. Adept at scene-stealing, Bryan Seroogy never disappoints.

Few people realize natural Green Bay has in Seroogy. When he fumbles for cigarettes and a match on stage, you can't take your eyes off his activity, regardless of the fact that other players are putting dialogue to use. When Seroogy roles his eyes on reading a book; when he nonchalantly peers through a crack in the door he's as easy as can be he's real and he's a bit part in the "The Torch Bearers" with about two lines in all, Les Hurt, also on the list of beauty special!
