THURSDAY, DECEMBER -11; 1947 KEY WEST PLAYERS NAME"CAST! FOR PRODUCTION IN JANUARY : By JACK LOCHER This is a fairy story in three acts, entitled, man Method”, or “How Lon: not be misled by the headi somehow. Once upon a time there w hof (John Jackson), who didn’ like to do, in which category amore (Kip Laird), who be ES) le but never quite proved it. Paul (Jack Locher), Pinna (Jean Baillod). The Sycamores had two daughters—see how this thing expands as we go along—one named Essie (Josephine Triebel), whose interests were many, and the other named Alice (Ruth Roltzberg), who was in love, poor girl. Essie manufactured candy, assisted by a colored maid mamed Rheba (Ruth Newton), who in utrn was assisted—if this gets too complicated you may start at the beginning again but, please, do see it through—by al boy friend named Donald (John ; Boatwright), and she (Essie) studied ballet dancing under a Russian exile named Boris Kol- enkhov (Greg Folley). In addi- tion, she—that’s right, it's still Essie—had a husband named Ed (David Newton), who had al had a xylophone, a printing press | and a vague interest in Leon Trotsky, who, among other peo: | ple, does not appear in the play. Then there was the object of Alice’s affections, Anthony Kir- by, Jr., (George Street), who had a couple of disapproving parents, Mr, K (Hugh Bredin) and tre, | Wood, eyes ace aiis K (Mrs. John Jackson). There } ae. Rabert Wodal Dale were, to boot, a man from the| mitchel, Myrna Cridet, Lucille Department of Internal Revenue | Sanders, Ann Louys, Carolyn named Henderson (Tom Sud-/nawson, Pamela Russell, Jay dath), a bibacious Thespian! Higgs, ‘Anita Fernandez, Ann named Gay (Ginger Suddath) | and a Grand Duchess of the; royal blood named Olga Katrina ; (Mary Jane Jackson). Stir these well, add a dash of fireworks and some pot cheese, shake in a paddy wagon and you have “You Can’t Take It With You,” the January production of the} Key West Players. The play goes into rehearsal tonight (Thurs- day) at the Barn Theatre under the direction of Frank Ramsay and Ann Carleton, If the foregoing leaves you somewhat confused we can only suggest that you make a mental | note to scrounge tickets to the, presentation as soon as they go on sale. However, so that you will not worry meanwhile, we will add that they all lived hap- j pily ever after. i 100 Juveniles Attend Dance; More than 100 juveniles at- tended the dance last night given by the PAL’s organization in St. Mary’s Parish hall.
