THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ENJOYING STAY FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1938. Shaft loftier than Washington |Monument nearly complete in paid al KIDDIE KABARET SOCIAL ACTIVITIES Improvisations, Humor Of Geoffrey O’Hara Delight Take any three letters of the musical scale, A to G—just any old three of those seven—play them in the order picked on your piano; play them over again—now vary a bit with a tail going up— then a tail going down and end on your three letters. That’s how simple it is to play a tune. Perhaps you'd like your letters to spell a word, as, for instance, | BAD, GAB, BAG or even CAB- BAGE—made up of the seven musical notes, you see. Well and good. Play them in that order, with variations. You'll be sur- prised. A tune will come forth As easy as that. So very, very simple. Which is all, by way of treating on the subject of Geoffrey O’'Hara’s triumphant appearance at the High School Auditorium last night, sponsored by the K. W. H. S. Glee Club, the Wo- man’s Club and the Rotary Club. A witty, refreshing Irishman is Geoffrey O'Hara, who accom- panies his amazing musical sim- plifications and elaborations with a humorous chatter that delights as much as his improvisations. Asking the audience for three of the musical letters, Mr. O'Hara was given G, E and D. In a few moments a sweet little waltz was tinkling in the ears of his delight- ed listeners. His “Cabbage” waltz, however, was outstanding. Using only the letters in that word, the noted composer had a waltz for the audience in a few moments as moving as the “Mis- souri Waltz”, or the “Blué Dan- ube”. Taking up many. popular songs of the last few years, Mr. O'Hara showed the simple elements of which they were composed, and traced them back to the classical ct “There’s no harm done”, said. “The public’s wish for tunes that sound new is satisfied by the variations, the old classics 80 On as majestically as ever, and ene is pleased”. Sractiee. Party At Parsonage Rev. and Mrs. Y. T. Shehane, of the First Baptist church were plearantly- surprised this week whea one evening there was a rap at the pastorium door, and upon answereing the summons a group of members of the congre- gaticn entered, laden with bund- les. Afvt the excitement had some- what subsided and Mr. and Mrs. Shehane had time to consider the object of the general+call, they realized that the members were paying a call and the nature of the surprise was a pantry shower, the the bundles contained comes- tibles of kina. Rev. Shehane said that there are lots of times when those who have planned an affair of this kind have found out that the secret has been disclosed. In this instance however the affair was a complete surprise, and a de- lightful evening was the result.

The present popular “swing music”, is an outgrowth of jazz, Mr. O'Hara stated, and jazz was! the art of interpolation. Instead of going down the classical ‘mid- dlé aisle, jazz artists “went all! over the place” while going in the same direction. The lovable composer’s ‘most famous popular piece “K-K-K-Ka-} ty”, was humorously played in the manner of the French, in the; manner of Mexicans, in Yiddish, } in the tinking tones of a music} box, or the strange tories of the} steam calliope, as the Hootchie} Coochie, as chimes, as a hymn, something like Mendelssohn's ; Wedding March or the famous |S consneseasaahaadaanee guest of Superintendent PERSONAL MENTION Funeral March, and finaily as the South American tango.
