Judson Smith Delights Patrons With ‘Class’ Act Judson Smith, pianist and sing- er at the Fantasea Lounge, be- longs in the entertainment cate- gory labeled “class,” in show bus- iness. He’s a North Carolina chap who directed a 60 voice male cho- Tus when he was in the army. His group won national recognition. He has a B. A. in music and voice. Besides his academic prowess, Jud knows showmanship. He has a soothing easy lilt to his voice and his keyboard hand- ling is just as polished. He offers variety from classics, through pop- ular tunes and tosses in a bit of Calypso singing. Judson gleaned firsthand knowledge of that this past winter when he, entertained at the Coco Lobo Lounge in Char- lotte Amalie, Virgin Islands. While there he met Bob Youmans, Key West resident who was singing in a team with Bob Ellis at the Ma- hogany Club owned by Ellis’ wife, the former CeeCee Cromwell, Dodge heiress. Judson, a tall chap with light brown hair and pleasant features, looks as if he really enjoyed his work. He knows how to modulate both voice and the piano to fit the intimate atmosphere of a limited room, but doubtless can tufn on the volume if it is needed. He does some of his own composing and his original “Love You,” which he Presented the other eve, was. ex- tremely well received. It sounds a little like an operetta selection or one from a romantic musical comedy. Smith weaves a tapestry of mus- ie with bright threats of humor. He has a wide range of repertoire and also handles requests. Now and then he gives surprise num- bers like the quaint music hall ditty “Over A Glass Of Cham- Pagne.” He tops the season’s en- tertainment at the Trade Winds Cocktail lounge.

ITEMS OF INTEREST, TO EVERYONE One Of The Winners KEY WEST ARTIST Jose Martinez won his second award in painting recently when he was announced as one of the win- ners in the Art News 1952-1953 National Amateur Painters Competition held in New York City. Martinez’ entry was an oil called “Cathedral of Havana,” shown above. Martinez, a primitive painter who has never had an art-lesson, also won an award in an international amateur art show held in Puerto Rico. He exhibited an unusual still life. In the current exhibit being held in the Associated American Artist Galleries, New York City, Martinez won a certificate of merit. His work is one of 130 selected from over 1000 entries. Jose Martinez, Local Artist, Wins Certificate Of Merit, N. Y. Show Key West artist, Jose A. Martinez who lives at AT George Allen Apartments, was among the few winners in the 1952-53 Art News magazine jational Amateur Painters competition. Martinez received a certificate of merit for his painting The oil is now hung in the Asso- ciated American Artist Galleries at 711 Fifth Avenue (at 55th st.), New York City. ‘The exhibit lasts from May 1 through May 16 and is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily except Sunday. A presentation ceremony for a- ward winners and a preview was held the evening of April 30 at the gallery. Martinez who is employed at the naval station was invited but was unable to make the jaunt to New York. Martinez has never studied art academically which makes him what is termed “‘a primitive.” This is the second time his work has taken an award. He also won hon- ors in international competition in a show given at San Juan, Puerto Rico, A tall, quiet dark man, Martinez does what is known as “Sunday Painting,” that is, in his spare time. Winston Churchill is also an amateur Sunday painter as is President Dwight Eisenhower. At the rate with which Martinez is going, he may turn out to a full- time artist. His work drew much ‘tention at the final art show here at the East Martello Gallery in an exhibit sponsored by the Key West Art and Historical Society of which Elvira Reilly, herself an artist, is program director. At that time, Julius F. Stone, Jr., one of the Society’s officers pur- chased Martinez’ oil called “Des- COMING WEDNESDAY, MAY 6— Navy Wives’ Bowling League.
