Elvira Reilly’s “Surprise” Show Delights Viewers BY DOROTHY RAYMER As full of surprises as a Christ- mas stocking two months after the holidays, is the current art show by Elvira Reilly. A small show, but wide is scope, the current dis- play at Karns Studio opened on Tuesday evening. Punch was ser- ved the pleased crowd who drifted in and out for two hours. Among them was famous Artist Besser from New York, member of the National _ Watercolorists. - Associa- tion. Mrs. Reilly, whose husband Dr. Harold J. Reilly is a physiothera- pist in New York, is perhaps best known for her pictures of Mexico. ‘Tey are bow in the Miami Beach Gallery. The work at the Key West exhibit is entirely unique. First of all, there is a serves of Chinese caigraphys, looking like’ richly embroidered, illuminated — wall hangings or plaques. She got the inspiration from books on ancient art, One signifies music, with a drum and bell design in. silver, blue, gold and black. Another in orange, ebony and silver signifies calamity. A combination _ calli- evenhy in blues, pale greens, vio- let and black has various oriental $) invois, one of which is a sprout- ing seed, and the interpretation may be the cycle of life. My favorite is an emblazoned crim- son blue and gold one. . .a horse. She also shows a serigraph still life of papayas on a red and white checkered cloth and an oil called “Sea Life” which shimmers with pink, biue, aquamarine and all the nacreous shades of marine life. The landscapes are in oil, water- color and casein and vary from @ ghostlike scene of blanketed Indians in the moonlight at Taos, New Mexico through a twilight view of Central Park — called “From My. Window,” It has old world charm and fascinating treat- ment of fading light * Key West slants are in ‘Olivia whieh shows a honkytonk in the applegreen softness of night about to fall, and in one very fine pic- ture which showed in Paris. It's a painting of a ~ockfight here. The grimfaced handlers, sailors up on the walls of the pit and the dim interior flooded with diluted sun- light, make it a masterpiece. Sage green, deep orange, flame and a pink mauve give dramatic but simple tone to “Key West Sun- set.” ‘Tropical lagoon with leaning ims and boats on quiet water John’s River,” has a story. Mrs. Reilly lost all her work and equipment in a fire, Undaunted, she went to a “five-and-dime” store and bought paints. The re- gult is there for you to judge, not only her drafismanship, sense of color combination and skill... . Dut also the determined spirit and the adjustment she can make and has made in her life. The tran. quil mood of the painting after such disaster is eyefilling proof, “Jimmy” is'a character portrait of 2 colored yardman who worked at the old Hemingway House. Here too is the ability to catch personality in evident Mrs. Reilly's approach so matter what she palais, VIGOROUS WATCHER PORTSMOUTH, QO, &—Bleven- year - old William Dillow was t THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Now Hear This— Saturday, February 28, W953 Dear Dorothy:- | Well Carnival is over but there ; | are always those last minute notes, | Unfortunately, the list of names of | jall of the workers was not com- | | plete when you wrote the publi- city for the booth. My apologies to those workers whose names were omitted. To all workers, donators of baked goods and to those folks | outside the club who gave so gen- erously - many thanks for a job well done. We went over the top this year! Did you know that Mrs. Irving | T. Duke received the ~ sewing machine? The Martin permanent wave went to Mrs. R. F. Lyons of the VX-1 Group. Understand that Mrs. Lyons did not need a permanent — so presto — Mar- itins are allowing her equal value in hairdos, ete. People down here do so many nice things! Friday and Saturdzy nights’ do- nations in baked goods from the La Concha and Casa Marina were sold in a little different style and so the booth profited. A beautiful pie from La Concha graced the shelves on Friday night. Did you} get a glimpse or maybe ‘a bit of the extra special cake the Casa Marina sent on Saturday? George Hanskat was the lucky’ man_ to own that cake! A cheer to Betty Boyd who went out and made ar- rangements for getting - these things. ‘+ f A line ffom my ZX-11 corres- pondent tells me that Betty Bal- lou was here to visit the Tincheon last Wednesday — Alma Blink- horn, who worked so many. long hours at the carnival, relaxéd that day at cards and whaf- do’ you know — she won.

The HS-1 group will act as hostesses for the luncheon. Mrs. William R. Ford willbe the chairman. Do come you will enjoy it. Was talking to Mrs. Jonathan Jackson who will be the speaker for the day — you certainly have a treat in store for you. For everyone there will be something of interest in this program — history, unbelievable experiences, a Cinderella story, a success story all wrapped up in UNAKA’. It really is a secret so come and be surprised. Luncheons reservations may be made with Mr. Dank at the Club until noon Wednesday — Cancellations will not be accepted after noon Thurs- day. Duplicate Bridge on Tuesday at Fort Taylor was attended by ‘others want to take of them {when they are paroled. MISS BETTY MADIGAN receives thanks from Cdr. J. B.

Ave Maria at 1215 Mass in the Salvation Army Colonel Addresses Beta Sigma Phi Sorority At Meeting Beta Sigma Phi Sorority had the pleasure of hearing Lt. Colonel Agnes McKernan of the Salvation Colonel McKernan resides in New Army speak on “Prison Reform.” York and her duties cover eleven eastern state prisons, The Salvation Army service assists in every way to help parolees to a better life; second, to help women gain in economic security. Crime is lessening due to ae Education and Assistance Pro- gram. The Colonel stressed three | things to keep women out of pri-/ son: employment, economy, and security, From all trades and pro- fessions, 48 per cent of the wo- men are married. While in pri- son class distinction grows dim. She said, the prisoners attend concerts given by a fifty piece prison band, hear excellent sing- ers, ‘hold religious services for all-creeds, as part of a rehabili- tation program. The next step is getting the parolee a job. Colonél McKernan has been on the Parole Board for twenty years as an honorary advisor. Parolees are so grateful for the help given them and prejudices against them has been broken that 75 to 85 per cent make good. “Too much isj said about those who break their parole and not enough said about those who make good,” the speak- er said. se Babies of women prisoners are not born behind prison walls but in hospitals outside the walls. The prisons maintain a nursery so that mothers there have their children close to watch over and care for them, and at times there are six- ty babies\in the nursery. Some babies are placed for adoption through regular court channels with the mother’s consent, while enough people to make up five tables. North-South winners were | Mrs, McManus and Col. Vermette, runners up were Mrs. Benham and | Mrs. Lowe. Ensign Malkewitz and | Ensign Spears were the tops for | East-West with Cmdr. and Mrs. | Drake winning second place. i Girls do not forget donations for | the Thrift Shop!

Rehearsals begin Menday night at 8 p.m. The record speed in casting is a pleasant surprise and an indication that the director not only knows what he wants but is on the way readings before casting. The story, in case anyone is not familiar with it, deals with the lives and deaths of people in a little village. No scenery and few stage props are used. A narrator, called the Stage Manager, tells about the town and its characters. At intervals, they go into some action with dialogue. This is one drama in which voices alone count for much if not all of the impact. The cast in order of appearance is announced as follo Stage Manager. . Jackson Dr. Gibbs. . Jim Gibbs Joe Crowell. .
