SOCIETY — PERSONALS — NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN DOROTHY RAYMER, Society Editor Monday, June 1, 1953 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 5 Enthusiastic Audience Is Delighted By Annual Dance R ecital Friday ‘The tiniest announcer of the year, Miss Susan Wolfson who had to stand on a little platform to reach the microphone, opened the Pinder School of the Dance annual recital Theatre where the recital took pla an expectant audience. They got w Charm and beauty, of course, as it on Friday evening. The Monroe ce was jammed to the doors with hat they expected, and a lot more. is associated with the ballet. But there was also the spirit of fun. Everyone had a wonderful time in- eluding the tiniest tots. Miss Gale Varela and the corps de ballet opened with a masurka m Swan Lake and lovely Jo- Année Witherall danced the solo of the Swan Queen. The girls were gowned in white satin and tulle with blushpink satin slippers. The more experienced dancers in this group gave it authentic note. Miss Varela floated in and out with the ease of a professional, technique she shows in all her numbers. Novel and cunning was the cat dance number done by Glanda Kil- gallon in a kitten’s white and tan fur suit complete with tail and fur mittens. The liveliness and lythe- ness of a cat stretching, or arch- ing, boxing its paws in the air, and pirouetting in play, was cleverly Hit of the early part of the pro- gram, if not the entire show, was the bevy of pint-sized gypsies in purples, reds, blues, greens, yellows, all be-spankled, wearing costume jewelry and carrying be- ribboned tambourines. The fortune teller, Helen Kauffmau beckoned on the lines of little dancers with the gesture of ‘cross palm with silver.” Then came the gypsy queen, Mary Ellen Cabanas, who captivated the audience as she danced in her scintillating vari-hu- ed costume. Delighted patrons were vastly amused and touched with the efforts of the baby ballet. Jo-Ann White starred in “Hun- garian Dance No. 5,” an agile num- ber in whirh the soliist appears in a gay costume of silk triangles tip- ped with tinkling bells. The sprite- . ly selection also won applause. Truly beautiful was the “Swan of Tuonela” presentation with in- termediate small girls arrayed in waterdily pink. Doe-eyed_ Ellen Brooks and blonde sprite, Linda Brownstein; won the hearts of the onlookers as they danced before ushering in Steffi Baer, the Swan Queen. She showed a delicate in- terpretation of beginning ballet with much promise. Christina Dopp, the Black Swan, adden to the picture with charm ann skill. The Dutch character number was put on by pupils wearing blue and white full skirted costumes and peaked caps. The illusion of rosy-cheeked Dutch girls was cre- ated with attachment of long braids pinned under the caps. Rhythm | tap with Gale Varela, Rose Yates and Orchid Mira, lent a modern} note of relief. The girls wore black | and white outfits with tophats. | Valse Fantasia, danced by Bev-| erly Maloney in a stunning rose and sequined bodiced ballet cos- tume, caught the eye for its in- tricacy. Darlene Jurczynski who has been mentioned before as a student with top ability took honors throughout the recital. Exceptional interpre- tation was evident in everything she did, classic or novelty and she drew applause in every number, whatever the style. In the Italian Tartanella she ushered in John Williams and Maya, guest artists who performed the Italian dance with picturesque grace. “Tp Old Vienna,” was a waltz selection calling for paniered and be-flowered gowns and. studied at- titudes. As this group progressed they showed budding assurance. Gerald Pinder, who with Nina Cariceciola, directs the school, was extremely well received for his bal- let tap. The basic steps of the orginal Pinder route have been effectively padded with new tech- and unexpected surprise The Kerry Dancers had « bright fling. at the ancient Celtic folk | dance. Another folk dance, “Tre-| pak” was interesting. James John-/| gon was adept aod bas the mak- ings of a fine dancer. Patti Chapman a very pretty youngster by the by, was precise | end careful in her ie “Enters } mezzo.” Gale Varela is at her} “Seng From Moulin Rouge.” After an intermission, a troupe ef the girls bolstered by the debut day’s ballet “All The Things You Are.” Maya, guest artist, scored com- pletely with her oriental “Dance of the Caucasian Chiefs,” a harem dance with a few Hindu manner: isms tossed in for round and round measure. Fresh and appealing was “Ser- inade to Spring,” with teen-aged ballerinas interpreting awakening of the season, tossing flowers as they whirled. Dainty Paula Mesa in daffodil gold was a breath of spring herself. This was one of the best received offerings. Darlene Jurezynski exhibited per- fection in a intricate composition “Artists Life,” and again took the spotlight in a fantasy which brought out oriental richness and exotic tempo. The finale was an original, and although at one point was miscued and a little confusing, it was the most professional portion of the recital. Costumes in Greek tra- dition were worn by the principals. Ann Carlton, as Juno, came to life from a statue’s pose to dance with flowing and faultless ease. Gale Varela’s gestures and expressions as the grief stricken girl who lost her love were emotionally power- ful. Gene Nettles, guest artist with wide ballet experience showed that he had lost none of his mastery of the art. In one part of the myth- based fantasy, he and Glenda Kil- gallin as Diana, seemed born of flight. Darlen Jurczynski sparkled as Mercury. Jean Spirt as a sea siren danced with becoming abandon, supported by John Williams in the role ef Neptune. James Johnson as the faun, and Maureen Webber as the nymph were attention getters. Ven- us, danced by Jo Ann Witherall re- ceived plaudits. Tiny and impish Cupid, with Linda Stricker in the role, provided a lightsome accent. Maya’s solo as the Pearl was en- trancing. In the festive bacchanale, Gene Nettles proved his outstand- ing ability in the lassie art. As with all amateur productions, the recital had its faults but they must be regarded as minor. Key West is full of talent for ballet and its development and promotion through this recital is commenda- ble, Music Recital Is Planned For Wed., June 10 The music students of Emeline Bodler and Catherine Logan will Present a recital June 10 at the Poinciana School auditorium, Beginners through the most ac- complished singers and musicians in the group will take part.

The capital took on the appear- Hundreds slept in parks and along streets in the chill of last night. As dawn broke, thousands more swelled the waiting throngs. Nearly half a million squatters were expected to spend tonight, coronation eve, in the open to await the start of the biggest show in a lifetime. They brought bedrolls, blankets, and even hammocks to swing be- tween trees. Whole families slept on rugs. Some brought portable stoves to make tea. Most brought enough food to last out their long vigil, And between this morning and the small hours of tomorrow, 6,500 trains from the provinces will bring an estimated 2% million more people pouring into London to join the millions already here. A last- minute rush of visitors from all corners of the earth was yunder way. Planes stacked up to land at Lon- don’s two big airports. Special trains and boats disgorged thous- ands of others from abroad. Traffic along the teeming six- mile coronation route is virtually at a standstill. Solid swarms of pedestrians have all but taken over many main thoroughfares. The crowds are good natured and gay. For most Britons, the biggest holiday in over a decade of au- sterity has begun. The lucky ones—about 250,000 in all—who have seats in specially built, bright-painted stands along the route will start taking their places early tomorrow. But perhaps four million more will see the Queen on her way to and from her crowning in ancient Westminster Abbey before 7,500 distinguished and invited guests. An estimated 30 million other Britons will watch the spectacle on television. For some it was a particularly joyful occasion. In her last official action before the ccronation, Eliz- abeth handed out ranks and honors to some 4,000 Britons. Among those knighted were two of Britain’s most popular sports figures—World Champion Jockey Randolph Richardson Sees Foreign Ports The USS Pittsburgh returned May 26 to the United States after a six months cruise in the Medi- terrranean and the Indian Ocean. Serting aboard the heavy cruiser is Randolph Richardson, seaman, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gar- land O. Richardson of 7 Higgs Lane, Key West. Young Richardson was privileg- ed to see a great many foreign ports during the cruise because as a member of the U. S. Sixth Fleet the Pittsburgh participated in “Operation Rendezvous” and {other maneuvers. She was also detached for six | weeks to make a good will tour to | the Indian Ocean as the flagship | of Vice Admiral Jerauld P. Wright | USN, Commander-in-Chief, Naval | Forces, Eastern Atlantic and Med- iterranean, While in the Mediterranean, Key Wester Ridhardson, visited Cannes, Toulon, and Marseilles, France; Geona, Venice, and Naples, Italy, Palma, Majorca; Trieste; Oran, Algeria; and Gibraltar. In the in- dian Ocean his ship dropped an- jcbor in Karachi, Pakistan: Mad- ras, India; Colombo, Ceylon; Ad. en, Arabia; and Djibouti, French Somaliland. The Pittsburgh trans- | mitted the Suez Cang! on her trip to and from the Indian Ocean. The Pittsburgh will now go into | the Norfolk Naval Shipyard for ex- tensive overhaul.

The Queen’s newest honors list | marked her majesty’s coronation jand also her official birthday on June 11. It rewarded Britons in jall walks of life for service and seniority, A somber note was added, how- jever, in the death yesterday of | William Hepburn, 64, the Queen’s | gardener, while tending 33,000 spe- bees blooms he had grown for the | coronation in Hyde Park. He had j been awarded the Royal Victorian Order, Fifth Class, in. the honors list. His aides said he may have died from the strain of his cor- onation duties—the first recorded casualty of the event. Young Queen Elizabeth may go to Westminster Abbey some time tonight to pray on coronation eve just as did her father, King George VI, before he was crowned 16 years ago. Earlier today she was to hold a morning reception and luncheon party in Buckingham Palace for representatives of Britain’s Com- monwealth, Yesterday, Trinity Sunday, the Queen worshiped in the gold-pan- eled Queen’s Chapel in the grounds of Marlborough House, where Queen Grandmother Mary lived and died. There—with her husband, the | Duke of Edinburgh, and the Queen Mother at her side—she knelt in quiet prayer while millions of her loyal subjects prayed at similar services throughout Britain. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, who will crown the Queen tomorrow, ad- dressed a nation-wide radio au ence last night. He told them: “Let’s thank God we have an hereditary monarchy fashioned by the wisdom of sovereigns and the sturdy independence of our people into a matchless instrument for ex- pressing in the one person of a reigning sovereign our national un- ity, unity of commonwealth.” As the Qun returned to Buck- ingham Palace from her prayers, a crowd estimated at 40,000 surged toward the car crying, Queen! The Queen!” The palace sentries, unable to walk their normal beats outside the gates, were ordered inside the grounds, where they marched pro- tected from the throngs by the iron fences. Those waiting outside got brief glimpses of the Queen’s two chil- dren. Princess Anne, in a white nightgown, was held up at a top- floor window by a nurse just be- fore going to bed. An hour earlier, Prince Charles was seen bobbing up and down at another Window but his nurse quickly pulled him out of sight. Chants of “We want the Queen” broke out from the crowds until nearly midnight, but the Queen, resting for the coming ordeal, did not appear. At midnight, some soldiers and their girl friends danced a gay “hokey-pokey” outside the palace gates but by 1 a. m. the crowds had dispersed, some to wander elsewhere along the coronation route. Scotland Yard detectives and po- jlice, meanwhile, gave the corona- tion route a fina) security check, It’s easy to make tart shells if you cut circles out of your pastry and fit them over the back of muf- ifin cups.
