: cect ee titats PAGE EIGHT - Second Gasparilla Benefit > Show To Be Held Jan. 14 **Tampa Leader Reads > In The Citizen Of Progress Made By Local Latin Chamber By OLD MAN GREEN Second of the series of Gaspa- illa beneiit shows to be staged here under the title, “This is Key West,” is scheduled for Saturday niglit, January 14, according* to Abelardo Boza and Alberto Acos-! t& through the Latin-American Chamber of Commerce. Like the first of the series held | on December 10, the show will in-} elude a performance of the Key West Conga Line on Duval street, fellowed by a rhumba dance and floor show at the Cuban Club. Proceeds from these and other | pre-Casparilla events that will follow ure being set aside for the exclusive purpose of including the Congz Line and a float in the famous Gasparilla Festival in Tampa on February 6. This festi- Val, like equally famous Mardi Gras of New Orleans attracts tens df thousands of visitors from over the nation and Latin America. More than $2,000 must be raised to caver the cost of the Key West entry in this important festival, if the city is to be represented in a manner worthy of its national status as a respected Florida mt sort. _. Conga Line costumés on handy} after*yéare of wear and tear-by enthusiastic dancers, are mostly unfit "for such an occasion and mhust be replaced. Farolas, many ready to fall apart from youthful se and abuse, must be worked over Besides transportation of the 4-70 persons needed for full rep- resentation, special | accomoda- tions in Tampa must be consider- ed for 25-30 chaperoned Key West girls who will participate as danc- @rs or=in the entourage of Eraido! Rivero, “Miss Latin-America of Key West.” Time is running short. | With the facilities of the Cuban’ €lub previously booked for other | affairs since the first pre-Gas-/} parilla shcw on December 10, ef- fSrts “of the Latin-American Chamber of Commerce to raise a} goodly part of the needed money | by such pleasing means have been. seriously restricted. | In the emergency, an urgent | a@ppeal is being broadcast by the! Chamber to all Key Westers to! contribute with their attendance, at these’ exciting “shows, * where! fun and frolic is to be enjoyed at] comparatively small cost. In ‘the meantime, first in vol- untary acknowledgement of the velue of street performances of the Key West Conga Line, Ralph! Dickson of the Beachcomber gift shop contributed a $71.50 Bulova! watch to be awarded for the benefit of the fund.
