PAGE FOUR Mrs. R. R. Ricketts Brings Varied Theatrical Experience To Players Mrs. Rob Roy Ricketts who is directing the Key West Players’ first production, “Squaring The Circle”, to be given March. 29, at the Harris School, has had long and varied theatrical ex- perience. While she was attending the University of Chicago, Coburn brought’ his famous Shakespearean Company there. Students were invited to tryout, and Mrs. Ricketts alone was chosen to join the company. After graduating from Chicago University, and now part of the company, she toured the eastern colleges, playing Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth and finally complet- ing the tour at Wisconsin, Less than a year out of college, she had joined David Belasco in New York, where she stayed for Mr.! Greek plays in the magnificent open air theater at Berkeley. The theater holds ten thousand and “was inspiring.” Before ten thousand people they produced Iphigenia, Electra, Medea and others of the great Greek plays. In these she was usually the leader of the Greek chorus. | Speaking of this experience, Mrs. | Ricketts’ face lights up with the memory, “It was really uplifting jand Margaret Anglin is the best actress we have had.” It is easy to see that she loved this tour the best. Then she married and gave up the theater till now. The Key West Players feel grateful and lucky to have her directing. Adapting herself to jher rather inexperienced cast, |she has let them find themselves individually. Then, as they de- WHITE HERONS IN OPEN HOUSE (Continued frora Page One) years safe-guarded an adequate seed stock of wild ducks and geese. “There is no doubt that the waterfowl population has in- creased.

Rare Species Conserved | The wildlife expert added that much remains to be done, by im- proving environments, to better living conditions for the wild birds and mammals. “After all”, he said, “‘we,must deal with pres- ent,.not pioneer, conditions. The type of wildlife restoration that the Biological Survey has been doing for many years has closely followed this doctrine”. In the development of the na- tional wildlife refuge system, the Biological Survey has given spe- cial attention to certain species that are rare or nearing extinc- tion. Many of these rare birds have been protected on areas that were established for migra- tory waterfowl. Several of these birds have al- ready made satisfactory recov- Jeries, according to Mr. Greene. Striking examples are the |trumpeter swan at the Red-Rock | Lakes Refuge, Mont.; the Florida crane, at the Okefenokee Refuge, Ga.; the whooping crane, at the Aransas Refuge, Tex.; the great |Heron Refuge, Fla.; and the ro- |seate spoonbill, at a number of jsouthern areas. |by the refuge system are the wild |turkey, prairie chicken, buffalo, jantelope, and bighorn sheep. On the Great White Heron |Refuge, the Great White Heron is the most important species pro- tected on the area. Latest figures |show that there were 1200 Great | | Whites within. refuge bounda-| |ries. | Primarily a nesting and win-| |tering area, the Great White} |Heron and Key West Refuges recorded a total of 115 birds of all kinds last year.
