Brookfield, of the Miami Office of | National Audubon Society, announ- | cing the formation of two new Soc- jieties in Florida; Sannibel-Captiva Society and Broward County Soc- iety at Ft.

Miss Cun- niff announced that letters of con- gratulation had been sent to these new branches and that copies of the Society’s recent Newsletters had been forwarded to Mr Brook- field’s office at his request. The nominating committee, com- Posed of Miss Helen Taylor, Mrs, Evelio Cabot and Mrs. David Me- Daniel, presented the following slate of officers; president, Mrs. |Franees T. Hames; vice - presi- dent, Wallace B Kirke; treasurer, Archie Roberts; directors, Albert H. Carey, Jean P. Baillod and Stuart S. Whiting. The slate was accepted unanimously. Mrs. W. ‘D. Hundley, who is as- sisting in the field work of the Society, reported that a great ma- ny species of birds are to be seen in the area at this time; stating that an unusual number can be seen within walking distance of one’s home anywhere on the Is- land. She called attention to the fact that Key West is on the At- lantic flyway where great waves of birds pass in migration, and that of the approximately 850 spe- cies listed for the entire United States one fourth to one sixth are seen on Key West. It is a matter of record that over 200 species of birds are seen there throughout the year and it appears that an in- creasing interest and protection by the community is largely respon- sible. Mrs. Hames reported that she is preparing a revised Field Card, to include all birds recorded in Mon- roe County, which would cover ail the Keys from the mainland to Dry Tortugas. Mr. George Stevenson announced that plans were complete for the trip to Florida Bay on Saturday, April 20, and that all reservations had been taken. Mrs. Stuart S.

The guest speaker of the eve- ning was Mrs. Guy Bonney of Springfield, Ill., who entertained the group with some color slides she and her husband took on a trip to the Arctic last summer, Mrs. Bonney related many inter- esting events leading up to their arrival at The Pas, the jumping- off point in west-central Manito- ba; where in June the sun goes down at eleven p.m. and rises again before three a.m. Among the interesting birds they saw was the Hudsonian curfew, nesting in clone of moss on the open tun- a. the aS NEWS OF INTEREST TO a, ATTENTION SIGN PAINTERS UNION—Gay Lou Torres, Pauline Blais, Lu Kerr and Pam Odden put ishing touches on the banner announcing the “Easter Parade of Fashions’ sponsored by the dunior Woman’s Club, Sunday afternoon, April 11, at the Casa Roma.

There is but little doubt that Di- rector Danny Child’s foresight in arranging for the play to run for for twelve days through April 6, ex- cluding Sundays, will be weleomed by those who are unable to attend this week. The favorable com- ments overheard between the acts are a strong indication that it will be advisable to call at Betty Ann Stationers, 516 Fleming Street, and make - advance reservations, because the popularity of ‘the play will undoubtedly fill The Barn every performance, It is hard to believe that, with few exceptions, the members of the cast of “Mister Roberts” are Participating in their first drama- tie appearance. . .even the Admir- al’s goat takes his (or her) cue perfectly and starts to make a bee- line for the Captain’s palm tree, delectable to the goat, but obvious- ly detestable to the ship’s crew. Perhaps it is because the crew are only re-enacting parts they have played in real Navy life. One can see looks of horror, ap- prehension and stern criticism spreading among the bona fide na- val officers in the audiences, to be replaced later by a smile of pride and satisfaction as the Cap- tain gets his come-uppance and the inherent morale of the good old United States Navy reigns sup- reme. Ensign Pulver literally bring the house down when he pulverizes the ship’s laundry in. a firecracker test-run, and makes a phenomenal- ly quick-change for the scene. For that matter every actor in the play “takes” his own, and her own, part so well that it would be im- possible to say who does the best job, which is unusual in such a fast- moving production as ‘“‘Mister Rob- erts.” This may sound like a review, which it definitely is not, because no review could possibly give the pleasure and entertainment one re- ceives from seeing the Players pre- sentation of “Mister Roberts.” For a relaxing and hilarious evening, make your reservations early.
