NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE MARGARET FORESMAN, Society Editor Operetta “In Gay Havana” Will Be Given At High School Nov. 3 And 4 Romance, intrigue and revolution with a musical background will greet the audiences Monday and Tuesday night at the operetta which will be presented at Key West High School. Produced by the Choral Department of the High School and directed by Tom Whitley, the humorous operetta, “In Gay Havana,” is filled with laughs and music through its three acts. Curtain time is 8:15, and tickets k—- ‘will be fifty cents for students and one dollar for adults. The action of the show takes place in the patio of the Isla de Cuba, a newly-opened hotel under the management of Senor Alvarez, Played by Joe Pineda, The first guests are a tourist party consis- ting of the Beadle sisters, Maudie Belle, an old maid school teacher (Sarah Bringman), and Sister (Joyce Lounders), George and Luella Potter, newly-weds (Char- ley Taylor and Betty Cooper) and @ group of American College boys. Leaders of the college boys are Stan (Glynn Archer, baritone) and Tom (Paul Avery), Later this group is joined by Margot, an attractive Cuban girl (Jo Ann Mullins, soprano), and her mysterious companion, Senora X (identity concealed). The perennial Latin-American revolution breaks out and the entire party is con- fined. to the hotel. Stan ‘falls in love with Margot while Tom pays court to Carmen, daughter of the proprietor of the hotel (contralto Deanna Archer). Although Carmen reciprocates Tom's affection, she is prevented from acknowledging her true feel- ing by the over-zealous guardian- ship of her ubiquitous chaperons. In Act Il, Senor Valdez, a Cuban patriot played by Orinaldo Lopez, finds refuge in. the hotel. He is seekirg important government documents, the bearer of which is to “sclose his identity by the password Cuba Libre. Through 2° humorous coincidence the meek and submissive Sister Beadle utters the password and is thereafter re- lentlessly pursued by the Cuban gentleman, to her confusion and to the consternation of her dominant sister. The drama climax centers around the disappearance of Margot and the mysterious kidnapping of George Potter. In Act Ul, Margot, having ac- complished her secret mission, re- turns to the hotel. Stan asks for an explanation of her absence, which she is unable to give with- out disclosing matters of state. To conceal her hurt feelings, she pre- tends to regard their love affair as a light flirtation, but Stan sees through her mask and effects a reconciliation. Potter reappears, and he dis- closes the idenity of his captor, Senora X, which answers many questiqns and enlightens the en- tire group. A happy ending to the whole business is the outcome, and the audience will be pleased with the way things turn out for everyone. The entire production is a friend- ly satire on Cuban customs and temperament. A fantastic chorus of chaperons, assorted street ven- dors and native musicians lend charm and local color. Others participating in the come- jdy are Pedro, leader of a native orchestra, Robert Lastres, tenor; mango vendor, George Lastres, tenor; Chiquita, solo dancer, Gail Varela; Chinese luttery vendor, Evelia Sibla; newsboy, A. G. Boyce; and manservant, Frank Betancourt. : Three Cuban soldiers, a Cuban girls’ chorus, an American college boys’ chorus, native Cuban musi- cians and Cuban chaperons add to the music and festivity. Backstage crew for the produc- tion consists of the following: Gib- by Gates, stage manager; Peter Hilton, lighting; Nancy Brooks, | props; and Richard.

CONCH CHOWDER By RAYMER Witches" eve is close upon us again and I must go buy a new. broom. Tuesday night I went to a costume affair as a stacked hay- stack from the painting called “The Mowers.” Thank heaven no one had a pitchfork along. Simple costume — a grass hula skirt at- tached in shower fashion over a coconut straw hat given me by Duffy of Duval street. Much jok. ing about what the farmer sai the haystack, making hey-hey, all that, ‘til I blew my stack. The party was at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gene Baughman and guests | were members of the Key West group and everyone repre- | sented some phase of art. Larry Karns was a perfect portrait of the Toulouse Lautrec. When he posed for a flash, he doubled his legs under him so that he would have the short limbs of Lautrec who was nearly a dwarf. Larry’s nickname’ is now Too-Loose Le Screw. Richard Brooks was framed .«. he just put his face in a picture frame “Self Portrait.” Adeline Ross wore a bottle around her neck over her shorts and re- presented her own work, ‘anilla Abstract.” Claudia Michaels was “Louise” without Maurice Cheva- lier, of course. DEEP FREEZE pose with formal- ly out-flung palms was Jeanne Skewis as “Egyptian Frieze,” in a costume which would have had King Tut’s mummy sitting up to “Tut- tut.” He would have done some whistling if he could have glimpsed Tomi Ka is a maid from ‘“‘Mou- lin Rouge.” Foreground was the conventional musical comedy French black dress and white ap- ron.

Lee Albert appeared as Van Gogh just after he had chopped off an ear and sent it to a scornful lady of the evening who refused to twinkle for his hazy horizons. Also going as Van Gogh was host Gene Bughi as @ por- trait of the artist young man. First rate, too. Hostess Yvonne was charming as a Watteau shepher- dess complete with be-ribboned crook, bouffant gown with becom- ing bodice and a huge picture hat tilted up in fetching sweep, DRESS UP - DRINK UP parties for the weekend include the ones at the CPO clubs on the Naval Station and at Boca Chica and the Hallowe'en dance given by Socie- dad de Cuba . .

T. A. Room Representatives ae night in The theme of the October lesson was “Why does he act that way?” Mrs. Hatfield pointed out that be- havior changes in children occur in a different manner in different age groups. A two-year-old may have a tantrum as a result of not being able to help himself in dres- sing, even while he will not per- mit his mother to assist him. Mothers wonder how their endear- ing little angels can turn into little devils at times. Teen-agers react in a different way. The adolescent daughter may be helpful around the house of her own accord one day and the next day she may have a temper fit because she is asked to clean up her own room. Why do they act that way? Be- cause, Mrs, Hatfield said, children tell us how they feel through the way they act. We can help them through these stages by limiting the do’s and don'ts ‘to the neces- sary minimum, by. providing heed : Bs soe a iskis { HARRIS CARNIVAL FRIDAY Harris School Hallowe‘er.
