BOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor ‘Wednesday, March 11, 1953 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN SHOP HOPPING JAXON Hf ‘you are a very astutue his- tory student, you will probably know whose wedding it was the very first one in the White House on this date in 1811. Me, I just don’t know, but I do know that’ when you'Sstart on a Shop Hop- ping tour with me you go just about everywhere and learn a bit of data about thisa and thata that you probably never even; thought of before. Another little old anniversary we should observe is the birthday of the Girl Scouts. These were founded in Savannah, Georgia, suh! They probably won’t ever find out that we sent congratu- lations, but we do anyhow. It’s a grand organization and we have one in our own house out on Olivia Street, too. > Now that we've taken you clear around the corner with the dates, lets go around another corner onto Duval Street first, and start out ‘way up by Olivia » with our Shop Hopping. xk*rk Ditty Bexes aren't ever very large, and the one on Duval that has those lovely in it is no exception. Lovell wasn’t even stock any more of nice grass mats. . there mand was ta vee oth plea; to you tha’ pias mats, sized four by six feet, and) you'd better hurry. Mamamn they smell so goed! . xk Now that Lent’s really here and T've been seatching for recipes T’'ve found that most cook books don’t seem to think that there is much seafood that comes outside of a can, That's because they don’t live in Key West I spose, but I just found one for Sweet ‘N’ Sour Shrimp that is very good, so bere i ‘tup pane ‘one 9 ounce } tidbits and mea- isn't make one cup ater, Save the pine- fourth cup brown two tablespoons cornstarch teaspoon salt, one dry mustard in a large pan.

Well there is a very good rea- son why he should win this month too besides the Electro- lux man being a very nice guy and his car being @ very hide- ous car, and that rea: you should all be sure and take advantage of the fact that this is the last month that you will be able to get thet swell Electrolux vacuum cleaner in metal! This is the plastic age, and Electrolux has gone plastic too. Of course there are those who swear by the stuff, but | am of the group who swears at it. Now if that isn’t one point alone to send the jaundiced or- chid car to New York for super- ior sales, | don’t know what is. Of course ther those who like plastic better, and they should of course wait til next month to see the new Electro- lux, but dearie, think of the breakage! By the way, did you know that if you call that big new Sylvia Appliance store, you can get Electrolux Service or demon- stration? Sylvia is Mrs. Glec- trolux, you know. Nothing like keeping it in the family! xk It’s not national fire prevention week or anything like that, _but I've been noticing the high winds blowing and wondered what might happen if a big old house like mine should catch fire. Golly, Yd burn down the whole neigh- borhood! Well I bave insurance, but money wouldn’t buy back Grandma’s scrap, book if it were destroyed or Aunt Fanny's Anta~ masacre either, In fact we all have a lot of treasures that money ‘couldn't buy, or for that matter assuage the loss of. That is why I want to warn you about a penny in the fuse box. It can set your house on fire. The fuse is a protection. When it “blows,” it warns that wires are overloaded. . .that is, more electricity is being carried than the circuit can handle safely. The trouble may be using too many appliances on one circuit, or some defect in an appliance, a cord or the wiring. The burning out of the fuse cuts off the cur- rent, thus avoiding fires from overheated hidden wires. If a penny replaces the fuse, the cause of the trouble is not corrected. The circuit still is overloaded and the wires may become so hot that their insula- tion may begin to smolder. Over- loaded wires have smoldered in- side house walls for some days before they have been discover- ed. Imagine what could happen in crowded tinder-dry Key - West! x *® *® , Yep, tonight's the last night to see and hear Alkali tke and his side kick Al Robinson down at the Celebrity Club on Duval Street. between Greene and Front Streets. Al and tke have been popular favorites in our | tewn fer quite @ long time new . « dn fact ‘way. before Christ- mas, First at @ Stock Island spot and then at the Saloon when it started. Folks have learned to love little head, and laughter comes easy when Al props his feet up there on the fence and starts his conversation that grows and grows to include everyone in the room. So if you haven't seen and heard them, favorites of yours, round te say goodbye for now. pid i uh if $3.- af ii = . z HE tl aitie s Zz 2 z * i z When painting indoors siip @ pair of old socks over your shoes.

It has endless variety. I expected to be whirled away in bright mood by circus art of Robert A. Herzberg. Instead, for the most part, it seemed to me that the oils lacked lightness and were elephantine in more ways than just a predominance of elephants in the backgrounds. The early ones, done about 1943, are especially subdued. Those done four years later seem to have a lift in the canvas, or to pun, in the Big Top. Now there are two or three possible explanations. One, that in 1943, we were at war. Two, that Herzberg was executing the world of the circus which mere onlookers like myself are not too familiar with . . . the isolated one where performers rest under wanopies between shows, where vendors loll in the shade and don’t | ise it tonight, and if they ere | carry on much less spectacular! liying than we know about. Three, that Herzberg has & per- sonal interpretation which is a far cry from my own. The wumexpected treat came with viewing the drawings from New Jersey. They are unusually good and of exciting variation of mood, theme, approach and method. Back to the circus art. Now and then the feel of a circus, most of us know it, IS capty ++. a windy spring day with clouds scudding above the flying flags on the ig Top, ctowds, vague in facial detail (humanity en masse), watching the big ele- phants with gawdy houdahs on their backs, clowns, riders, the chorus of girls in the background of the elephant ballet, all the hurly burly of the day when the circus comes to town. His watercolors are much gayer and convey something of the expected. Portrait of Emmett Kelly, most famous for hig sad- faced tramp act is striking. There’s the rather grim mouth under the makeup, thé sad eyes, the big, bulbous red nose. There a portrait of Felix Adler, lazing id musing before a mirror, his clown feet enormous and gro- tesque. Famous circus funsters Lou Jacobs and Paul Jerome (the latter with a genial expression), are posed in their dressing rooms ++. @ favorite setting of the painter. These and the one called “Siesta,” picture of « negro ‘roustabout asleep under a parade wagon, and the action backed ones The Elephants,” are 1 wish ens been posdible to see more of Herzberg’s collection of famous personages of stage and screen.

Larry Fearn’s pencil landscape has moed but is too sketchy. Trom- pka’s waterfront scene in char- coal emanates strength. James Carlin’s. “Good Night,” is overly sentimental but has saving grace of tenderness. In contrast is “Flood,” which captured des- Peration in every line, a pencil drawing of a man and a woman on a housetop being swept along by a wild river. Quieter, even dreamy, is the lithograph by Gussov “Two Violinists,” a pair of young girl students lost in the reverie of Music, a mood also reflected in hig “Audiénce.” Humor, homespun quality, is the picture by Lésley Crawford who ges a a countrystore-post- office subject.

Avery Johnson deals with a familiar scene to Key Westers. It's one of the yacht basin here. The etching is finely made with detailed lines, and radiates the uplift sweep of wind in sails, beguty of boat hulls reflected in rippling water. _. “Backstairs,” a wood engrav- ing reminds me of John Held, Junior’s eatly woodcuts . . . but this is of course not crude and has an unusual _ perspective.

Three audiences, totalling more than a thousand children, trooped into |the Auditorium ier showings of “The Love of the Three Oranges” as superbly presented by the Kingsland Marionettes. | Puppeteers Cedric and Lenore jHead produce their entire show unaided, handling all their ‘‘act- jors,” music, sound effects and |set changes smvothly and effort- jlessly. They kept their small spectators enthralled with the swift-moving class fantasy about ja Prince who must laugh or die. The nursery school tots especial- ly enjoyed the buffoonery of Har- lequin andthe sinister curses of the .witch Fata Morgana, who cursed the Prince with the love lof three oranges. Five brilliant sets protrayed the bedroom of the Prince, the tour- nament, the clouds, the giant’s castle, and the lake of Fata Mor- gana. After the show itself, the ever-popular skeleton came on for a short turn, and came apart as he danced. There were two shows in the morning, for children of ,nursery school age through the sixth grade. The afternoon show as for high school students and the after- noon students.at Poinciana School. The show was sponsored by the Key West High P. T. A. and managed by that organization’s executive board, Mrs. Robert Dopp, the president, stated that the show owed much of its suc- cess to the heads of the partici- pating schools.
