She was teling me that two very capable members of the Barn Theatre group have parts in the ‘Filibusters” which will be shown at the San Carlos, Thursday, May 20 as part of the Fiesta. One of them is Bob Pollock who plays the part of “Morris,” a Fed- eral agent sent to Key West to solve the mystery of the rifles missing from Fort Taylor. He poses as a newspaper report- er and not only successful but makes all the local newshawks look to their laurels. (What am I say- ing?) Maybe he remembers what a fine performance he turned in as the reporter in “The Man Who Came To Dinner.” He directed ‘My Sister Eileen” and “The Bat” which both had successful runs. Bob has been on the board of directors, been vice- president and his now recording secretary of the Players. Opehlia says too, that Ed Gies- bert, (you’ll remember him as the Captain in ‘Mister Roberts”) is doing a fine job as “Senor Fer- nandez,” the slick “politico” who runs guns to Cuba, not from any patriotic motive, but to fatten his pocketbook. Ed always turns in a finished performance which is not surpris- ing as he has played professional bits in Summer Stock, and is plan- ning to play the “straw hat cir- cuit” in New England again this summer. Jack Clarke and Mickey Renna, the director and stage manager for the Filibusters have had lots of experience in this sort of thing. Ophelia and I have decided that come what may, we’re going to gee this gala production of Key West’s own historical drama. I’m not supposed to be there, but with Ophelia’s help, I have picked out a good hiding place. People are lucky, all they have to do is buy a ticket and sit in air condi- tioned comfort! The management of the San Car- los is dominating the use of their theatre to the Fiesta Committee as their contribution to this very wor- thy cause. Be seeing you, Petron- ia.

Pretty Gwynneth Muriel Gibson, who won the title yesterday, said cramming isn’t necessary, nor is it very enjoyable. All you gotta do to be smart, she says, is: 1, Pay attention in class. 2. Do all homework regularly. The 18-year-old Miss Gibson, a student at Louisvill e’s Du Pont Manual High School was handed the “brightest” label by the Na- tional Education Assn. It brought her a $500 scholarship. She competed with 8,911 of the highest ranking students in the nation.

Studying all the time isn’t the answer. She finds time for a part-time job as long-distance tel- ephone operator and the vice pres- idency of three campus organiza- A good clue, though, is that both of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Win- ston G. Gibson, were valedictori- ans of their high school graduating classes in Vermont. Also indicating that brains, run in the family is the fact that Miss Gibson’s sister Eva, 17, a junior at Manual, is, like Gwynneth, a member of the National Honor Society. 2 Miss -Gibson hasn't picked out the college she wants to attend but she knows what she wants to do when she gets out of college. She wants to be ‘a high school mathematics teacher. KITCHEN SERVICE Anew model sewing machine fits into a cabinet base and is built to standard kitchen dimensions.
