SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NE DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor Page 4 Here it is only April 15th. On April Fool's day as any fool would know that is the first, I cleaned my little desk off neat as any- thing, and everything was in it’s wn little place as everything shguld be. Now it is a great big jumbled mess and I even had trouble find the calendar. Tell me, how does this happen? Gremlins? pe am I just a plain’ messy old gal. Well anyhow, April seems to be @ bad month for Presidents. On April 12th you will remember we lost a great one, and just eighty Seven years ago this date, Abra- ham Lincoln died. You see, even if I can’t keep track of my desk, I keep track of dates. & also keep track of the stores around town, so here goes keep- ing track of some more! x * It's a cage! It has a bird in it who bobs tirelessly! It’s a clock! |! And there are just three left at the Ditty Box, that cute ‘ittle ‘gift “shop on upper _ The bird nods tirelessly to the . @bmforting tick as the seconds 90 by in his tiny cage. Wonder- ful for a child’s room, a con- Versation piece in any room. Best yet, you only have to wind the bird. . .never feed or clean it, * * * Yesterday being real cool, I came up with a good appetite. Now everyone just loves steak and mushrooms. Trouble with that is there never seems to be enough mushrooms. Well if you serve up| @ mushroom pie, you'll have plenty, Make your very best well- seasoned creamed mushrooms. ‘Pour into’a baking dish, Top with a rich pastry, Slash the top so that the steam may escape. Bake in a hot oven until.it's brown, Good, good, good! *: much) but the very special price of that very special Electrolux vacuum cleaner, — | heard the very faint rumor other day about this new price ‘on this new cleaner, so | ups and hails ‘the purple car practically in the middie of Duval Street and me’n Al had a@ big chin session with all the horns beepin’ around, and he told me it was true. So now | want know, why didn’t 1 hear it before, and why dontcha- paint the sign? Ms Be, ra Something not thought of in the bistrog.on Duval Street, but which might go over better than B girls . . In Tenabo, Nevada at the { taste treat.Mnmnamnmnm = ‘s’ wonderful! x «xk Well like I said, stores ain’t al- ways like they seem. I read about |- a drugstore in Virginia that has a very conspicuous sign in the win- down of just two words. . .“‘Sand-! wiches - Jewelry.” Of course if you are ever in New York and on Madison Avenue, it is worth the ride to take an ele- vator up. It doesn’t matter where to up, but turn around and take another elevator down. Repeat un- til you've ridden every single ele- vator, and you can’t help but notice that all the operators are lovely redheads. I hear that the building retains a professional beautician to keep their heads blazing. ” x * Have you visited the Sylvia Appliance store out at 1928 Flag- fer Ayenue yet? If you haven't, you don’t know what wonderful bargains in appliances you will find there. Sylvia has already earned her reputation and well, of having the most of the mest mame brands of any electrical appliance you can think of, and probably good many you never even heard of. These are brands that are old, tired and true, and that are backed by their manu- facturers. What do you care if this cute little store is standing behind stacks of old driftwood. That isn’t their fault at all. It’s the fault of the man who is busy out back making those beautiful driftwood lamps. These are sold at Sylvia Appliance too, and judging by the way they are going, the man out back is doing all right, * x * I'm happy again. I have a cause + + and it goes like this, Last night I was minding my own busi- ness buying a Saturday Evening Post over on Truman Avenue the sound of sirens sent me fear, and two private ambulances. Well I bought the magazine and got into my car and rode out to- ward Sigsbee. Only a little ways Past First Street, I came upon cause of the hullabaloo. Some stupe had run off the highway into the bushes, By the time I got out there, cars were lined up for blocks and small wonder.

Open house party, 3 p.m. Well Received By Capacity Crowd | By GLADYS JACKSON “Mary! Mary!” the 1953 theatrical presentation of the students of the Convent of Mary Immaculate opened last night in the Con- vent Auditorium to a packed house. It turned out to be a gay and| held at ‘the. ‘First. Presbyterian light extravaganza, tuneful as spring, and was enthusiastically re-| Church new Bail —— ceived by the audience. The entire action of the play took place in the garden of “Mary Quite Contrary,” that famous gar- den of Mother Goose fame. It was an attractive scene and made more. so by the presence of real live flowers, “‘tinkle bells” played by students, and little gardners and pretty maids. The plot re- volves around a decision to build a road through the site of the gar- den, which would mean condemn- ing Mary's garden and sending the flowers, pretty maids and gard- ners into limbo. All of the action takes place in two successive days. Tuneful songs help to unfold the plot, and numerous comedy re- liefs are furnished by the charac- ters and lyrics of the songs. Billy Bumpkin, played by Beverly Ma- loney who wanders throughout the play in a sort of speech rut was especially funny. The Judge as played by Roberta Danek was also Minerva, Mary’s little sister who is plainly a brilliant child, elicited much applause by her use of extremely big words. This was a-part well done by little Jo Ann Kinion. Madeline De Barcee as Mary was very well done indeed. She shows great promise as a vocalist, and carried the long part well. However her voice showed the strained effects of over-rehearsal. It is very much to her credit that she was able to come through with as fine a performance as she did. We would especially like to com- ment here on the exceptional beau- ty and color of the costumes, Some were made by the mother's of the little players, Wonderful taste and a true artistic sense of color was shown in the groupings of the play- ers on the stage at all times. This truly added to the beauty and in- terest of the Musical. While this playlet camnot possi- bly be compared in any way with the Centennial pageant presented by the Convent last year, in it’s own class it is every bit as” good gratulated. More hard work than could possibly be realized by the audience goes into a production ef bee size and scale. in all, “Mary! Mary!” has topped all expectations, It is bright, gay, and musical. In fact, wholesome entertainment that all Key West will enjoy. It continues tonight, and this review- er recommends it to all. Fleet Training Group O.W.C.

It was well done.”” Mrs. Willing, Players’ president, | said that members would cooper-| ate in any way needed when the! film company moves into the area | on location. Certain types for bit} parts may be wanted, but that is entirely subject to the screen scouts, not the Players.
