P. Win- ter as Doctor Haggett, Lingtee Seribner and Jean Schnider as the HMaggetts’ daughters, Thomas Dorher as the daughter's admir- er, and Jonathan Jackson, Bow- man Cutter and Dr. Nathaniel Fowler as three art critics and dealers.

She is known as an abl@ and cofivineing player, with a great deal of stage presence. “The Late Christopher Bean” is scheduled to open at the Barn Theatre next Monday night, Mar. 7, and tickets for all performan- ces will shortly be placed on sale. The play, which is by Sidney Howard, is an amusing, pathetic and clever portrayal of the ef- fect on humar actions when the “pocket nerve” is touched. Chris- topher Bean was an artist; he was poor and he was much too fond of the bottle; but he could paint, and furthermore, his work sold, which happens too seldom in the career of most artists. Theatre-goers are looking for- ward to the opening night of “The Late Christopher Bean.” Clubs Apprises Local Club Members Of Citrus Recipe Contest To Be Held Mes.

ANDREWS ees iS oe Of the thousands who are familiar with that brililant flow- ering shrub of the Mallow family, comparatively few dre aware that there are several trees classed as Hibiscus species, . viz.,” Paritium elatum, Paritium tiliaceum, Thespesia grandiflora and. Thespesia populnra, all natives of the tropics, as follows: . Paritium elatum; Cuban Bast; commonly known as Tree Hibiscus. Bailey describes it as. a small, spreading tree, though some that I have seen are tall and slender. Though native of Cuba, the late Dr. Charles Torrey Simpson claimed to have found it growing wild along the shores of Biscayne Bay. How- ever, though rarely ‘seen in cultivation on the lower West as on the water front of the Edison Estate in Fort Myers, it i$ not uncommon in the Miami area. There is a fine specimen in the old City Cemetery there on N-E. Second Ave. The buff-colored flowers change to brownish-red later in the day. In Cuba bales of tobacco are frequently tied withthe strong twisted bast or £ epee # bark of the tree. Paritium tiliaceum; mahoe, ac- . cording to the late Dr. John K. Small, it is probably a_ native of the Old World tropics, though! found on the lower East Coast and Florida Keys. A spreading tree, its shiny heartshaped leaves remind one of the Linden (Tilia), hence its specific name.
