1931; 1932

Feast of Saint Anthony of Padua.

(1) Feast of St. Anthony of Padua, 1931, No. 7. The tower, in 106th Street just east of Second Avenue. September 7, 1931. P. L. Sperr. (2) Feast of St. Anthony of Padua, 1932 (Children's Feast), No. 1. This year, as the country neared the bottom of the depression of the 1930's, the Bruscianese colony could not afford their annual festival. The children, accordingly, decided to have one of their own. Here they are shown rallying around their tower at the N.E. corner of First Avenue and 106th Street, on Labor Day. September 5, 1932. P. L. Sperr.
