SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor ‘Toesday, April 14, 1953 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 5 Season’s Last Audubon Screen Tour Delights Appreciative Audience Here An appreciative audience attending the last Audubon Screen Tour of the 1952-1953 season held at the Key West High School Tuesday evening of last week, acclaimed “The Four Corners” one of the most spectacular of the color movie-lectures of nature sub- jects. Fran William Hall, director of the Department of Photog- Taphy at Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota, brought to the Key West audience the famous Four Corners, where the states of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah come together. In this area mountains, chasms, and the wild river of the Colorado crowd upon each other with a tur- bulence perhaps unsurpassed in the world. From iofty Rocky Mountain pinnacles to the utter depth of the Colorado River tear- ing through its deep-gouged can- yons, this is a unique and truly monumental region. Using close-up color photo- graphy, Hall described typical animal and insect life of the area including the following: the life cycle of the famous seventeen- year locust; a scorpion; a race runner which can grow a new tail to replace one it has lost; the dreaded tarantula; the darkling beetle walking on its head; a rock squirrel coming forth to play, a rattlesnake in action, Yuk Yuk, the pet fawn, engagingly prancing and posing for his pictures; and hideous. caterpillars, which repre- sent the larvae stage of beautiful butterflies. Exotic, indeed, were the cacti blossoms, in brilliant hues of yellow, cerise, and ver- million, emerging bravely from prickly stalks, These were photographed amid the vastness and scenic grandeur of such places as Great Sand Dunes Monument; the San Juan and La Plata Leroi Canyon de Chelly; Chaco Canyon National Monument; Mesa Verde and the Four Corners National Monument itself. A delightful visit was made to a rodeo, typical of family enter- tainment of the Arizona Indians. Encamped together for a week of recreation were fathers, mothers, children, grandparents, and other relatives, accompanied by horses, | NS. . dogs, chickens and cattle. Interesting dancing, and the ex- citing exhibition riding of cattle, not horses, was enjoyed by old and young alike as evidence by facial expressions caught by the photographer. Here solemn, dark- eyed papooses stared at their eld- ers as they were laced into the traditional cradle boards to. en- joy the rodeo, Other pictures caught the story of the making of hand-wrought silver jewelry, set with different types of brilliant turquoise, from the Navajo ‘artizan, himself. Na- vajo women were seen treading looms to weave the famous blan- kets so prized by collectors. At the close of tne program en- thusiastic patrons of the» Screen Tours congratulated Mr, and Mrs. Hall for their exceptional film. Mrs. Hall assisted her husband in | the the production of the picture, a task requiring several months of concentrated work. “Monsters in Miniature”, and amazing story of tiny “monsters” that make up the: insect world, orld, was presented to a chil- dren's audience at the afternoon matinee held in Truman Elemen. School. Audubon Screen Tours are to be included in Key West's 1953-1954 entertainment calendar for the 6th consecutive season. Dates are now being confirmed by the Na- tional Auduben Society. Thes ec- cellent programs are brought to Key West by the Monroe County Audubon Society in cooperation with the National Audubon Society.

It was chief-' Ty about background material which I was suppose to turn in as a profile in connection with the series of biogs on members of the cast of “Our Town,” the Thorn- ton Wilder drama presented this week by the Key:West Players at the Barn Theatre. In the rush to get everyone written about, I for- got to do my own biog. Now I’m not in the same flip mood today because as this is written, it’s Monday and I have opening night jitters. . .although I have only a minor role as the town gossip, Mrs. Soames, and everyone seems to think it’s ‘‘a natural.” I’ve al- ways claimed that this column is chitchat, not gossip. Back to the background. It’s difficult to interview oneself, but remembering the questions and data I asked other Players, I find I’m suppose to relate first ex- perience in the theatre. Outside of Sunday School appearances on} Christmas and Easter there was only one outstanding performance. When I was around ten years old I read Charles Lamb's “Tales of Shakespeare” and became ‘ a worm-in-the-bud playwright, writ- ing my own ‘version of “Romeo and Juliet.” The only male re- cruit we could get for the neigh- borhood production was a relue- tant boy of about six whose mother had “culture” in mind and forced him into the playlet. He retaliated by being the best little scene stealer in the business, He was suppose to be a‘page boy, . . but he turned circus clown, did nipups and cartwheels in every walk-on, made horrible faces at the audience and loused up af- fairs in general. ADMISSION to the opus was by pins and I collected enough to keep my mother in pins (and on needles) for weeks. Since the only contribution by neighborhood boys was to stand on the edge of the Jawn on the afternoon of the play to yell and hoot, my sister and/| the girls in the area had to double | in all the roles. My sister Carrie | Mae tucked a pillow under her robe to play the fat friar; re- moved it to be Mercutio. As the tallest, I was Romeo and used a} skillet for a lute.
