I was shook even further when he asked me where to buy one. Now, you all can readily under- stand that my reputation for know- ing where to buy things is at stake. So, here is a plea for the name of the shop upholstery needles. Realizing many other peo- ple might be faced with this pro- blem, I’ll be glad to pass the word. As to Colin — saw him later mend- ing upholstery with a cleverly con- trived paper-clip needle — but he still didn’t look heppy!

The Testaments are the gift of the Hospital Auxiliary. They were Presented to Willard Albury, hos- Pital administrator on Wednesday | afternoon. The Auxiliary has taken an ac- tive part in helping to make the| hospital one of the finest of its| size in the state. They recently furnished a room right down to the drapes and spread, and added a/ bath in Wing one. They have given a basal meta- bolism machine, a diathermy ma- chine, an airconditioning unit and | surgical lamp for the surgery, and | ;@ modern incubator. Their project this year is the X-Tay room and the Auxiliary will also sponsor a girl through nurs- }ing school.

All KW Players And Navy Combine Forces In “Mr. Roberts” More than usual interest attaches to The Key West Players’ announcement of the next play to be presented by them at The Barn Theater. For their choice is the outstanding war-time comedy, “‘Mis- ter Roberts,” one of the most hil arious stage success to come out of World War II. The Key West Players will present this comedy, the cast of which contains but one fem inine role, for two weeks beginning March 22. “Mister Roberts” is the blister- ing, yet tender, saga of the men on a Navy cargo ship that mono- tonously plies from one Pacific port to another, thousands of miles away from battle areas. Its chief character is Lieut. (j. g.) Roberts, who is eating his heart for a com- bat assignment, but whose cap- tain continually refuses to auth- orize this transfer to a -warship. This commander is a hard-bitten sea-bully who hates college men like Roberts, and drives his erew in the hope of getting a promotion for himself and so spreads misery and hatred throughout the ship. Drake Circle will play the part of Lt. Roberts, and his voice is re- markably like that of Henry Fon- da, who played the original role on Broadway. The part of the cap- tain is played by Ed Giesbert, well- known to local theater goers for his excellent past performances with The Key West Players. The part of “Doc,” the ship’s doctor,:a great “mixer,” is played by Roger Gunderson, who, in real life, is the dentist out at Boca Chi- ta. The “mighty male”, , .Ensign Pulver, is played by Fred Taylor, whose professional theater back- ground was apparent in his out- standing portrayals in the last two Players’ productions. The two, feuding’, fightin’, crew ring-leaders, Insigna and Mannion, are played by Andred Schlanger and Richard Bonham, both of whom appear for the first time with The Key West Players. These two “characters” really set the pace of the show with their very first appearance and are doing a terrific job in rehearsals, Lt. Ann Gerard, an army nurse, the only female in the show, is played by Nancy Callis and creates havoc when she bares her brand. “Mister Roberts” ran for almost three solid years in New York, to score the twelfth longest run in Broadway history. It had such long and- repeated professional engage- ments in other cities that it had a greater total of box-office re- ceipts than any other play in Am- erican stage history, if Baseball Figure Dies Sa PROVIDENCE, R.
