CAMERA CLUB TO PRESENT MORE COLOR VIEWS BY, SMIRNOFF AND JENNI: PLANS ART SHOW | Natural color transparencies will be the feature of tonight's show. Several interesting views of Key West from the air will be shown, accompanied by a lecture by Robert Smirnoff. Mr. Jenni’s views from the ground present Key West in its best form. The show starts at 8 o'clock, H Club members have long real-: ized that few people actually see the real beauty in the Island City because of the brilliance of our semi-tropical sun. The glare and reflections cast, necessitate the wearing of properly tinted glasses in order that the true color values may be seen and appreciated. | Natural color is the only other answer to this problem. The re- markable color films now on the market make it possible to photo- graph objects which was once ;}thought to be trite and uninterest- ing, but which seem to take on unexpected interest and beauty natural r. That building, drab and unin sting to the na- tural eye, is rich with soft and charming when seen through this new medium. There will be a general discus- sion after the show, and questions relating to natural color and the Camera Club will be answered. It is hoped that all camera fans who have not yet attended any of the meet out The club has the full facilities t Center by Mr. , for the ng winter ext the members are ve anxious to have every interested person in Key West join them now = and start submitting prints.

Two locations that seem to be most desired are the Whitehead Street at south end and Duval street at north end. One can make as much as $3 a day at t sort of work. Some small shells are soid for a dime, others for 15 cents and still others as much as a quarter. Shells range from pink conch to king conch. The shells with their pink, smooth insides, much like a Key West sunset, are sct in an orderly row on the break- water at the end of the street where the tourist's cye is quickly caught. Recently the colored penny divers who operate at the Cuba boat usually have put in their appearance at the Duval Street north end. This old custom, which was brought to most notice at South Sea Islands when cruise ships dropped in, is an indication of the advance in- flux of tourists. Of course, the more com- plete marine studios at va- rious paris of the islands where a riot of marine colors on seaweed and shell greets the tourist's eyes as well as an expericnced line of discus- sion are more complete and satisfying, this “island” air of divers and conch shell peddlers strike the fancy of visitors.
