Janice White, daughter of the late Dr, Maloney who was one of this city’s first physicians and surgeons, had studied music in New York after] attending school in Virginia. She found the atmosphere there stimu- lating though her musical studies absorbed most of her time as her! teacher, Edoardo Petri, was of the Italian school and was inflexible in| his discipline over his pupil’s prom- ising soprano voice. At this same time George Mills White was studying voice in Bos- ‘ton after leaving his native Glou- ester, and he gave a successful series of concerts and radio pro- grams, but: it was not until the dark years of the depression, when the federal government came to the assistance of the world of art jter coming in contact with the and music with grants and pro- “TEN LITTLE INDIANS.” to be Picscnted .ionday by the Key West Players, will have in its role of Sir Lawrence Wargrave.

Their meeting was quite as ro- mantic as the libretto of an oper- etta as it took place when George Mills White brought Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Pirates of Penzance” to Key West.

C, where George Mills White was at- tached to the Personnel Relations| division of the War Department, and they continued to live in the national capital for several years. It was on a particularly cold, ‘drab day in the northern winter! when Janice White was caring for her husband and son, Clay, both of whom were ill with the grippe, that she secretly longed for the ‘warm sunshine and bright blue waters of Key West. Apparently ‘the rest of the family were think- ing along the same vein, as the decision to return to the south was! very nearly’ simultaneous. They entered into community, activities upon their return and gave generously of their time and’ effort. They have been insturmen-| tal in the founding and encourag- ment of m creative groups here includi Players, of which both George aid Janice White have served term¢ as president.

GEORGE MILLS WHITE have found a new shared pleasure in their latest venture, The Bookshop, where their background in music and drama contributes to their interest in literature.—Citizen Staff Photo by Finch | The George Mills Whites Share Mutual Tastes And Interests In :|Fields Of Creative Arts In Key West ‘The house, which has been home. to Janice White as long as she can remember, is a delightful example of old Key West architecture with the Bahamian influence shown in its wide verandas on both first and second stories. It was built by her father and at first a part of it was used as his surgery, His name is | still inscribed in the stained glass light over the doorway. q Janice White is active in many, groups here including the Woman’s | (Club where she served as presi-| dent for a term, and the Humane} Society of which she is both found- er and president. Recently, the Whites have under- taken a new interest which is a departure from music, but is, in| a way, allied to another field of creativeness. , .that of literature. With his characteristic enthusi-| asm, George Mills White found the| opportunity to give Key West a’ needed service in his purchase of a bookshop. Janice White entered | into the project with equal interest, and now these two who have shar- ed so many endeavors have em-| barked upon a new and interesting’ career together, | With her son, Clay, in college, | Janice White devotes herself to’ her husband’s new enterprise and ‘they both enjoy their Bookshop but perhaps most of ail they take de-| light in the people who stop by, For a late evening snack, sar-| dine sandwiches are wonderfully tasty f you mash them with le-| mon juice, finely grated onion, a jOff the crusts; then cut each sand- jwich into 4 small triangles or 3 long strips.
