PAGE FOUR -: SOCIETY :- Minstrél Director Arrives In City Leo Spaeth of the John B. Rod- gers Producing Company of For- teria, Ohio, world’s largest pro- ducers of amateur theatricals, ar- rived in the city last evening and conducted the first rehearsal of the musical revue ‘Rollin’ Rhythm” last evening in the Lions Den on Seminary street. Mr. Spaeth this morning expressed satisfaction at the interest and co- operation shown by the cast at the i first rehearsal. Another rehearsal has been called in the Den this evening be- ginning at 7:30 and anyone in- terested in taking part in the pro- duction is urged to attend in or- der that a complete cast might be assembled as early as possible. The story itself centers around an imaginary bus trip that leaves Key West and makes a tour of the country, finally winding up in old Mexico with a grand minstrel. As the bus stops en route scenes de- picting the various sections of the country are enacted, The performance will be given in the auditorium of the School on January 23-24, and is sponsored by the Key West Lions Club. Clab Sponsoring Choral Group The Key West Woman’s Club is sponsoring a Women’s Choral group to be dirécted by Mrs. O. W. Bodler of Rochester, New York. The first meeting will be held on Monday night at 8 o'clock at the clubhouse on Division street, at which time there will be an election of officers, a regular re- hearsal time set, and a short re- hearsal held. All interested in music are in- vited to attend. SING A SONG OF SEAFOOD By MRS.

No recommendations for changes were made as none were deemed necessary or advisable. Upon recommendations of the nomination committee, which commended the spirit of coopera- tion and efficiency of the in- cumbents, the following were unanimously reelected: For directors: Frank C.

For supervisory committee: Ralph Sierra, Hunter G. Harden, Walter W\ Griffin. The presence of Captain Jacobs was especially appreciated by all members and his comments and suggestions found of great value. He ‘commended the organization and its service to civil employes ahd suggested that a committee be appointed to bring to the at- tention of all civil employes the advantages of this union. He fur- ther stated that he believed there should be 400 members rather than 91 as at present. This sug- | gestion will be carried out to the fullest ability by the education committee.
