PAGE FOUR Mach Interest In Art Exhibitions Mrs. Walter Duke Thompson of St. Louis? Miss., who visited the Key West Art Center with her husband yesterday, expressed extreme interest in the current exhibition of Currier and Ives prints loaned by the Library of Congress and circuited by the Federal Art Project, WPA. Mrs. Thompson owns a person- collection of prints by these two American lithographers, which she has obtained over a pe- riod of time from antique shops, book stores and old houses in Middle West particularly interested exhibition because, al- amiliar with many prints here shown, she did not possess any identical ones. Mrs. Thomp- was zlso interested in the xd condition of the prints and intends to learn from the Library of Congress how they have been cleaned. The scenes and events depicted by Currier and Ives, chronicling all the major happenings between 1840 and 1895. are today greatly prized by collectors. There is no other such pictorial history of American life of that period as presented by these artists in such prints as “The Parson's Colt’, ‘The Old Oaken Bucket’, ‘A Virginia Heme in the Olden Times’ and “Darktown Sociables’. Mrs. Thompson said that she and Mr. Thmopson were leaving Key Wey today and that they had been determined to see the exhibition before their departure. Other visitors also to the Key West galleries have expressed their pleasure in the sentiment and humor of these prints and in the versatility displayed in the exhibition of work by the Key West Society of Artists now hanging in the small gallery. Among familiar local scenes in- terpreted by resident artists are four oils: ‘Backyard’, ‘Fishing Boats’, ‘Morning Sun In A Lane’ and “The Beach Road’. There are also to be found numerous water- colors and prints. These exhibitions will be hang- ing until September 24th, and the gallery will be open on Wednes- days from 10-12 and 2-4 and on Saturdays from 10-12, until fur- ther notice. Spends Pleasant Day In City Clyde H. Smith. manager of the Miami branch of McKessons and Robins, spent a pleasant day in Key West yesterday renewing old acquaintances and_ looking over the Island City. He accom- panied the local representative, Gene Wallace on his weekly trip to this city. Smith’s first trip as bridges and also the first time he had visited Key West since the war days in 1918 when he represented the firm of Levy Brothers of Tampa. Mr. Smith was much impressed with the changes that had taken place in Key West and marveled over the great engineering feat that had been performed in trans- forming the old railroad viaducts into the splendid automobile highway bridges.

That means shorter supplies of fish and perishable vegetables this week though no real shortage. Avocados, tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage, celery and peas are good values. Beans are higher. Corn is still available. Ice- berg lettuce is lower. Apples, fresh prunes, peaches and pears are the outstanding fruits. j Meats are generally higher particu- larly pork loins and chops and lamb cuts. Fine quality table eggs are less plentiful and so somewhat higher. But- ter prices remain steady.
