‘Tuesday, May 11, 1954 THE jeannette There are signs of the exodus of many friends from Our Town. Boxes and suitcases are being packed, Plants are being trimmed. Storm shutters are over the win- dows — and many houses are taking on the air of waiting for winter. peed a or other, the closed houses do not make Our Town ap- pear deserted. It is just as if they have a sign ‘See you in Novem- ber” across their front. And for those who remain be- hind, it is a time to look into camps for children, to pour over road maps, to decide just “‘where’ to spend that vacation. Summer has arrived. Before we head anywhere, let’s shop for what we shall need— oe oe Se Sandal time has arrived at the Globe Shoe Store, 510 Fleming Street. Give your feet a cool time of it. There is a style san- dal just for you at the Globe, including flats and wedgies. Saw a good-looking thong sandal. And then, there is “strap” and “‘dou- ble strap” — wide bands of soft leather either secured with buc- kles or joined to the sole with elastic for comfortable fit. No matter the combination the straps end in — they‘re flattering. Straw shoes are particularly ap- propriate for this time of year and they are extremely easy to take care of. A terrific choice: in sizes, colors and type make the Globe Shoe Store your sandal headquarters. ‘Young feet want to be pretty and cool and yet the sandals must be sturdy to keep up with constant activity of your children. New summer sandals for them have just arrived at Globe and are they every good-looking. The gay multi-colors and smart looks do not cover up the excellent workmanship and sturdiness of these sandals. Your child will really be thrilled with his “new shoes” from Globe. 8 Bd FOR He BEST CAR-DEAL IN.QUR TOWN — see Navarro Ine! 2a aS28 Met Clara Claasen, one of the editors for Doubleday Publishers and was. intrigued by some of her extra s, curricular duties, other than reading»:manuscripts, Seems as if she had spent most of hertime here, exploring the shops for fabric — vivid tropical prints and Balinese-type designs, so that. she could take it to New York.

Members were asked to write a short statement on “Why I think my mother should be se- lected the ‘Mother of the Afternoon’,” on a small card and without signing a yawe sothat they could be judged impartially. During thé afffair the winning statement was read and was won by Beatrice White. Her mother, Mrs. Laureano Moreno was pre- sented with a beautiful corsage of red carnations, Special guest Mrs. ‘Theodore Sackler, the USO - YMCA Navy mother of the yeas, was introduc- ed by Florence Rabon and gave a charming little speech about her enthusiasm for Key West and how much fun she had been given since her arrival. Mrs. Caro was then introduced to the group and was given a round of applause as “sorority mother.” President Sylvia Knight then read a beautiful tribute to mothers which closed the brief program. Members and guests then re- tired to the dining room tastefully decorated with spring flowers. The table held silver candelabra and a centerpiece of yellow roses. Tea and coffee with assorted sand- wiches were served with delicious cookies and mints as refreshments. The lovely tablecloth was one crocheted by the sponsor’s mother and enhanced the entire table set- ting. Social committee members pre- sent who contributed to the affair were Florence Rabon, Vivian Thompson, Dee Furnish, Lorraine Wood, Betty Toppino, Margaret Connor and Angela Caro. Beside members present at the tea, guests and mothers were Mrs. Charles Acheson, Mrs, Mary Ma- Carthy, Mrs. W. A. Woodward, Mrs. Helen Waldner, Mrs. M.

TELEPHONE: Eloy Rodriguez Carries On Family Tradition In “The Filibusters” When Eloy Rodriguez appears on the stage of the San Carlos Theater on May. 20, as the heroine’s half-bad brother, Juan de Olivia, in the 3 act drama, “The Filibusters” during the Fiesta Alegre y 4 Beneficia, one will see a highly emotional, well-acted and finished por- trayal of a boy intensely devoted to the cause of Cuban freedom led astray by the machinations of the | Don Pedro Fernandez. The part is not new ta Eloy for jird, appearance as Juan in the pla¥ written by Commander Ray Byrns. ‘The Fil- was successfully pro- duced for two seasons at the Barn Theatre. Eloy is a modest young man,.a native-born Key Wester. By herit- age and background he is ‘well fit- ted for the stage. His father, the late Armando Rodriguez, was one of the men who used to read aloud to the cigar makers in Old Key West as they daily went about their tasks. This was an old Span- ish custom, pyschologically, as it kept the workers from being bored, an they concentrated on their work as they listened to Eloy’s father read Shakespeare and the Spanish classics. At eighteen years of age, Ar- mando Rodriguez became interest- ed in neighborhood stage shows. Finally he was assigned to roles in important plays at the old San Carlos Institute. Eloy states that his father bran- ched out with a stage show of his own in which the cast members were friends and relatives. He pro- duced his own plays, wrote the scripts and even acted in these presentations. Armando Rodriguez died in 1945, but he is not forgotten by old timers who recall his dra- matic ability. The father’s gift lives in his son Eloy, as evidenced by his acting ability. In the words of Jack Clarke, veteran director of the Fil- ibusters, for this is the third time Clarke has directed the play, “Eloy is a natural; he needs no direction.” ‘ . Eloy’s mother, Mrs. Amelia Rod- riguez, here is proud of her boy and the part he is playing in the drama. She was born in Cuba and be- came an exiled patriot just like “Tia Maria” of the play. The Fiesta committee has an- nounced a special matinee per- formance on at 2:30 p. m. on May 20 for school children at reduced prices. Parents.and teachers ac- companying them will also be ad- mitted at the lower prices.
