SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN - ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor Page 4 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Thursday, January 15, 1953 76 Prominent Key Westers Boost Humane Society Ball Floor Show Get out your best bib and tucker and your friends for Friday night when the Humane Society Dance, sponsored by 76 prominent Key Westers, is presented with a scintillating floor show topped by Maya, featured interpretative dancer who is arriving in Key West by plane on Friday. She will be the houseguest of Mr. and Mrs, George Mills White during the weekend. Maya will do three golo numbers, each in a special costume during her appearance here. The first’ in the group is Orien-" tal which Maya does completely veiled to Anitra’s Dance by Grieg. Her second presentation is a gypsy dance to a selection of gypsy tunes which make up ‘Troika Bells.” It is a temperamental character dance in which she portrays the unrestricted girl of the plains who longs for her absent sweetheart and in imagination is reunited with him. The third dance. is “Daughter of the Caucasian Chief,” a stylized number in which Maya uses cym- bals and depicts a fanatic follow- er of the “whirling dervish” cult. The famous dancer first came into prominence in Florida a few years ago in the production of the Miami Little Theatre’s version of “Midsummer Night’s Dream.” The production centered on a well- trained corps de ballet which was the talk of Miami. It .brought Ma- ya to the attention of the public and spurred her on to advance study of the dance. At that time, Jack Monts, now a solo dancer in the Metropolitan Opera Company's ballet, appeared with Maya. He is also a former student of Princess Nina Carriciola. Local talent includes Gerry Pin- der and his partner, Lavonda Saw- yer and members of the Pinder School of the Dance. Talented Glenda Kilgallen will be featured soloist in ‘Kitten On Toe.” Dyna- mie Gale Varela will be soloist in a vivacious mazurka supported by corps de ballet-and will also dance a Spanish classic, “Espana Cani.” * An impressive list of sponsors for the affair which is one of the brightest on the social horizon this season, includes: Mr. and Mrs. Earl Adams, Mr, and Mrs. Ed- ward Ambler, Mr. and Mrs, George Aston (La Hacienda), .Mr. and Mrs. Jean Baillod, Mr. and Mrs. John G.

Calif. @—~A Drake |hopes to succeed a Swan as a city councilman. Thomas D. Drake, retired Army jcolonel Tuesday took out nom- | Turtleburger Supper * To Be Served Friday A typical Key West novelty feod, turtleburgers, will be the main dish of. the attractive menu offered at a special supper un Friday even- ing from 5 to 7 p.m. in the social hall of the Fleming Street Metho- dist Church. Members of the W. S. C. S. will serve the turtleburgers with scal- loped potatoes, green peas, hot rolls or Cuban bread with garlic better, Key Lime pie and coffee or tea. The public is invited to attend and enjoy the Key West gourmet’s delights, Color Art Films Shown Sunday Fascinate Group | About 50 people attended the first showing of the color movies spon- sored by the Key West Artists group which was held in a room at the Trade Winds courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lazarovici, Sunday evening at 8:30. ‘* Projector was operated by, Lar- ry Karns. His wife Tomi was in- strumental in getting the movies for showings here, working with Elvira Reilly who had seen some of the films in New York City. The first one was a fascinating Indian legend cinema done with authentic masks loaned by the National Museum of Canada from their collection of British Colum- bian masks. It was a Crowley film. The grotesque, yet somehow realistic masks were startling, sometimes horrifying, sometimes humorous and now and_ then beautiful, as in the placid face of the moon. Indian tribal faces, wolf heads, the masks representing the winds, the seasons, hunters, good and evil forces with spiritual: in- terpretation and especially the time weathered face of the old man who was a sort of high priest, or coun- cil head, were fine examples of primitive art. A second film with Dennis Mor- gan narrating showed the cultural growth of the fine arts and music colleges at Idyllwild, California. Chinese artist Dong Kingman at work or scouting for subject material brought out some views of San Francisco's Chinatown | which were interesting. Topper with the mask picture was the camera treatment of Na- vajo sand-painting, a real art | which is part of the Southwestern | Indian tribal customs and an un- | usual cultural contribution to crea- tive arts. The film action showed the medi- cine man giving treatment to a sick patient via the centuries old sand-painting technique. Artists of the tribe take the colored powder- ed sand and fashion marvelotis de- signs on a neutral sand background | directed by the medicine man’) They work out the elaborate pat- tern with tokens.and omens and | meanings steeped in Navajo wor- | ship and rites. The patient then sits in the middle of the painting | while incantations are said. After | the treatment, the entire work is erased with: the belief that the Inidan’s illness will vanish with the | destruction of the painting which | has absorbed the evil forces by virtue of the arranged symbols. Seasoned wood may contain as little as 6 per cent of water in| dry climates, but in wet climates it may contain 20 per cent or more.
