A number of Watertown residents will appear in an educational movie titled “An Old-Fashioned American Christmas” which is being filmed here under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Tod Stromquist of Coronet Instructional Films of Chicago. This project is being made possible by the Watertown Historical Society, working in cooperation with the Wisconsin State Historical Society and the Watertown Curtain Club. The local historical society, under the direction of Miss Gladys Mollart, curator, has opened the Octagon House for photographing so that authentic, original backgrounds for scenes would be possible. The setting for the film is the 1890s. Those appearing in the film include Mrs. Grace Fargo, Mrs. Henry Winogrond, Mrs. Edward Dobbratz, Mrs. S.J. Luchsinger, Carl Kolata, Don Boyink, James Bloor, Mrs. John Viets, Dana Hibbard, Storey Hibbard, Susan Teggatz, Charles Johannson Jr., Mark Winogrond and Erwin Keepman, Oconomowoc.
