This one promises to be a huge success, and anyone | who enjoys a great big belly laugh until your sides are aching, should {not miss it. Now the people who are in the play “John Loves Mary” | think it’s good enough to give up a long Thanksgiving Holiday week- end in order to give Key Westers a very special holiday treat. Y’m having guests too for dinner on Thanksgiving, and I can’t think of a nicer way to entertain them than to take them to see “John Loves Mary” after dinner Thurs- |day night. £ koe” It’s high style now-a-days to be as pretty underneath as it is for dresses to be smart. A gift that will thrill any little girl from two to twelve is a nylon petticoat with permanently | pleated nylon net double ruffle, permunently stiffened too. It’s trimmed all around with a lovely satin ribbon with a huge lover’s knot and ties on the side. Per- fectly gorgeous for a gorgeous Christmas. for some lucky tyke. Now I'd like to whisper. . .just to little folks with the clear faith of Christmas still shining in their eyes. Santa Claus is going to be Saturday after Thanksgiving. . . that’s November 30th. . .just to start off the Christmas season. Of course you can bring your mammas so they can help you fell Santa Claus what you want and to e their own selections early. Jaxon plans to be on hand too with pencil -and notebook. I’ve heard tell that Santa is a pretty wise old man, and I’m not sure whether he has ever been inter- viewed or not, but I'll bet he has some pretty sage advice to give and | for one intend:to jot it all down. Don’t forget, Children’s Corner, Saturday November 30th where Santa will make his Key West debut for the. 1952 «Christmas Season. Be there! x kk Marceline Cox in her column in the Journal says that there are at Thanksgiving time only two kinds of families; one locks the turkey in the cold room or freezer after the big meal; the other leaves it out on the kitchen table where all who pass can whack off a hunk. I’m very much of the latter class; however, Miss Cox evidently never lived in Key West so doesn’t know about the little ants that love to make a bee-line for the same tur- key. My answer to this problem is to clear off a whole shelf in the re- frigerator, deposit the turkey leav- ings on a tray with a whole dis- play of relishes, cold dressing, and cranberry sauce. Don’t worry, nothing short. of a padlock could keep the family. away from this, and out on the table things would tend to dry up anyhow.

Only two more Shop Hoppers un- til Thanksgiving, folks, and then} you can count them on the fingers | of both hands and toes of one foot before Christmas, so I can’t \tell you any longer about doing your} ; Christmas shopping early, ‘cause } it’s almost here, kids.

She was accepted as a student member of the Georgia {| Ornithological Society in 1937 and Photo by Karns Studio KARL AGRICOLA, whose ope-man show is now on exhibit at the Karns Studio-Gallery, is a charter member of the Key West Artists group and has been instrumental in bringing the Key West scene to the fore in his art classes and in his own paintings and water colors. An ex- Marine, Karl hails from Michigan. He is married to the former Deedee Bessiere, daughter of Mrs. Aloysia van Goidtsnoven, prominent business woman of Key West. The Agricolas have a young red-headed son who will doubtless appear in some of Karl’s future work. Deedee Agricola often serves as model for her husband. At present, the young artist is engaged in painting murals for several clubs in town as well as continuing interest in smaller works of art. Agricola is an ex-Marine and served in the Pacific area. It was during his service that he decided to ex- pand the talent he possessed and after the war, took up study and his chosen career, Agricola Opens One-Man Art Show; Subjects And Medium Are Versatile Gulls, boats, water in motion, day, November 17, at the Karns’ Aricola, local painter and teach- er of note, does not place any titles on his pictures. He feels that the material speaks for itself. And the voice is clear, understandable, and pliable as an actor’s. In the window of the studio is a boldly done painting of a shrimp boat with festooned nets like sha- dows and a. coil of rope like a loop of. gold. Orange touches stand out in relief against the predomin- ately blue tone of the work. Inside, one of the most domina- ting paintings is a still life of red tulips brimmed with light, flowing up from a low crystal bowl. The glass of the bowl is wonderfully done. Translucent ef- fect of this type 1s extremely dif- ficult to catch. Karl has accomp- lished it. He has also captured dancing light of sun on a swirling tide which gives an illusion of movement to the second dominat- ing oil. The wind and the waves buffet old pilings and in the dis- tance the subtle sykscape forms a moody backdrop. A quieter painting is the one in casein of a tidy little boat, hull up, on which two gulls warm them- selves in the sun. The rosy tone that old stone absorbs in the setting rays of sun is shown in a painting of a church. There is also a striking, romanti- cized view of an old Key West house as viewed from over a patio gate. Versatile, Agricola also uses casein for the head study of his wife Deedee. The fine, underlying bone structure is brought out with golden planes of reflected .warm KEY WEST ARTISTS WILL MEET TUESDAY The next meeting of the Key West Artist's Group will be held at the home of Mrs. Adeline Ross, 521 United Street (Surf Mote!)

There is a pen and ink study | of a rather serious head in black | and white. In direct contrast, he offers, spritely the portrait of a clown with a Harpo Marx carroty wig, an engaging grin and a rouged nose. The feeling of gaiety plus a pathetic squalor is reproduced. in some of the Cuban scenes: A girl on rollerskates, a ramshackle waterfront house with happy chil- dren racing in the street--below and ignoring the poor surroundings in the abandonment of laughter; a street walker with face half in shadow, waiting for life that has already caught up with her; these things have the brand of what Latins call “‘symipatico,” and the humor of life in the raw. Another portrait of a lady with a tilted nose gives the impression of hauteur. It’s the direct opposite of the sketch of a girl in slacks }lounging comfortably, at ease with |herself and the world at large, or the sketch of a lazy nude. Agricola has a strong sense of design, is modern in approach, but, as Larry Karns who knows art well, says “‘is still realistic enough to be enjoyed by the most unini- tiate of laymen.” The show lasts two weeks, until December 1. It is excellent in the three fields: oil, casein, and pen and ink with overwash of water- color. There are 20 pieces in the hanging. This is the first of a series of one-man shows which will be ex- Bride Elect Becky Lou Gregory To Be Married To Sonar Instructor The Rev. and Mrs. Harry Gre- gory of 517 Fleming St. today an- nounced the engagement of their daughter, Becky Lou, to H. Stanley Smith, Jr., Sonarman 2nd, of the United States Navy, the son of Mr. and Mrs, Homer S. Smith, Sr, of Bristol, Tennessee. The announcement is the cul- mination of a romance that began when Miss Gregory was a senior in Key West High School and Mr. Smith was attending the Fleet So- nar School. Ater graduating from Key West High, where she was a charter member of the National Honor Society, Miss Gregory attended Bob Jones University, Greenville, South Carolina, where she pledged hibited at the Karns’ Studio-Gal- lery.
