Here you'll find air conditioning — and by taking the course — slimness! gS £2. Last night, it was yours truly’s rare pleasure to hear one of the music world’s greatest living com- posers. Maestro Ernesto Lecuona —who wrote “Malaguena,” “‘Sib- oney” and many other haunting Spanish ballads — played his own works and other numbers on the piano last night at the KW High School and the magnitude of his genius was readily apparent to all, Realizing that the Concert will be reviewed elsewhere, I merely want to mention the keen disap- peintment I felt for all you who missed an evening of musical en- chamenens by accomplished art- ts. By all means, try to attend tonight’s performance — if you feel you can’t afford it, remember that some of the best buys to be| found are for the soul, and in- stances of rare musical beauty such as Maestro Lecuona’s per- formance, are amongst the top in this category. 2#2>522 The attractive, nutritious, and delicious platters being served for $1.35, at the Candlelight Inn on Virginia Street, just above White, are perfect for jaded warm weather appetites. However, there are ‘many who still. prefer those excellent din- ners which are “dished-up” fam- ily style at the Candlelight. Really, this Inn, with its charm- ing surroundings — ‘‘different’’ atmosphere and excellent food is ideal for those “smalt dinner parties” or luncheons you'd like to give — also, by phoning 2-297, you may secure these perfect pial for entertaining — wed- “ can be given with either your supplying hor d‘oevres or having that superb Candlelight Catering.

This per- formance as well as other Fiesta events will be filmed by a lead- ing Havana TV station. Gerald recenty said, “I used to help a magician with a disappear- ing act when he played in the old Garden Theater on Caroline Street. 1 guess that’s when the smell of greasepaint finst captivated me. I haunted the stock companies and the vaudeville acts that came to Key West when I was a boy.” Apparently, he never got over being “stage struck” for he has appeared in leading roles with the Key West Players in ‘East Lynn,” “The Drunkard,” “The Night Of January 16,” ‘Heaven Caz Wait,” and in the world premiere of ‘One’s a Crowd,’ which was open- ed in Key West. Busy as he is, and in the midst of a politeal campaign, Saunders ma- naged somehow to make all his rehearsals, and his second appear- ance in the difficult role of La Cos- ta promises to be one of the best he has ever turned in. ; MYF Sub-District Officers-Are Installed May 9 Installation*df2the Southernmost } Sub»Distriet ofthe Methodist Youth Pehiwwhipwagtheld Sunday, May 9, in Ley Memorial Methodist Church at 9 o’clock, with the Rev.
