In the picture were our “‘Mo”* who never gets stuck in the mud, her friend and pilot of the plane Jerry Gardiner who flew to here from Conn., and the passenger- helper, Mrs. Cecile Boergeman who works for the PEP. Richel- son requested a print of the pic- ture made by Ellis Finch for re- production in the trade journal, “Sylvania Beam.” Roger! WHICH REMINDS me that Rog- er the Lodger is driving a car, I hear. Whose?,....Radio Frank sends a reminder that the “Westernmost point of the U. S. is Port Oxford, Oregon; Easternmost is Eastport, Maine and Northernmost, Great Bear Lake, Minnesota.” The Southernmost portrait now under- way is that of Collette Young, with a very STRONG background....sun- light through the shutters at the Southernmost House. Frank Cin- namon’s (formerly WKAT) mad card had a stork and the music and words by “One Who Cares,” ori- ginal by Irv Fields who used to bat out his tunes at Miami Beach before he wrote “Miami Beach Rumba” and Nicaragua” and be- came famous. The other notation on the card asked. “Wasn't it a grand wedding?” MAIL BAG also brings a note from Pat Berry informing me that the sheet she borrowed for a cost- ume party is at Casa Cayo Hueso and that she hopes to get back to Key West from her dungeon in Mon- aca, Pa, That’s about five miles from my old home town. Just by way of confusion, Pat’s card was a lovely lithograph of the Govern- or’s Palace, Williamsburg, Va. Now what I want is a card from New Zealand by way of Nome, Alaska, just to complete the pic- ture. BARN THEATRE fans who en- joy the current comedy directed by Mickey Renna might not know it, but the guy who really kept the coordinating ball spinning is George Renna. He worked with all | the energy few of us have even when its rolled up into one unit. But he didn’t want to come in to have his ‘“‘pitcher’’ made. Well, anyway, that’s where the credit goes. Everyone helped, but George gets an extra bow...and a big kiss from his wife, I betcha, who was directing for her first time. Speak- ing of production on the Subron | assembly line, CDR. Frank Sham- | er did all right too in that show Friday night. The “‘snorkel’’ song, brought snorts of delight; the | “Bushy Maru” verse was one of| the remembered howls with the lines, “Where hurricanes roar, | we're never ashore though there's | liberty ten hours a day.” Topper | was “Pigboat Peggy’s’’ naval man- | euver and take off on’ the national | sport, and it ain’t Canasta.

The Key West Art and Historical Society announces that the Fifth Annual Key West Artists’ Group exhibition is slated at East Mar- tello Tower Art Gallery from De- ember 7 to December 27. All artists in Key West are invited to hand their work, any media. Entry blanks will be mailed on request and all work must be delivered to the Gallery on or before Dec- ember 5, Mrs. Jeanne Taylor, cura- tor, said today. She also said that framed paint- ings must have screw eyes and wire ready to hand. Non-members of the Key West Artists may also exhibit with a small entrance fee of $1, A recent leter from Elvira B. Reilly stated that some of the New York Art magazines were interest- ed in the local group and that she thinks the artists will get extra publicity through the publications. For this reason and for the “Christ- mas Show” angle, it is hoped that all artists in the group will con- tribute various water-colors, oils, caseins, pen and ink and other work, Mrs. Reilly suggested that the show would have extra appeal if the idea of original pictures for the house and office were put across to the public. As she wrote, “It isn’t very exciting when go to someone's house and same reproduction that in your own home but stimulating when you see an ginal that fits the place where it is hung and especially if it is painted by some one you know. Many a “Grandma Moses” lurks in the gallery of the little known museum. What fun to discover an unknown genius and take his or her painting home with you.” She also suggested that a gate prize be given with the winner to be painted in the gallery (portrait sketch) which the winner could keep. Added Mrs. Reilly, “‘We did this up here (New York) and every- one came all dolled up ready to be painted.” She urged that everyone who Paints submit something and that as many paintings as possible be hung for the Christmas showing.
