The Key West Citizen Newspaper, July 13, 1954, Page 3

ne SUE JONES, Editor Tuesday, July 13, 1954 Saw something the other evening that was not only really good—but departure from the usual and yours truly sure hopes that whilst it is the first—'twill not be the last. Had read sometime ago, that the filming of the Broadway pro- duction of “New Faces” was to be an experiment in that the movie was to be minus the usual folderol of including some scanty, dull “story” with which to scotch tape the musical scenes. Imagine my delighted astonish- ment, when that was what hap- pened! “New Faces” was an in-|, stantanteous hit on Broadway des- pite the fact that it did not con- tain “big names” nor was it a lavish production. Sheer talent put it over, and this was proven again with the movie. Was most disappointed in Eartha Kitt as a performer but thought the rest of it was terrific. Altogether— was grand entertainment. And with “New Faces” still in our thoughts, perhaps yours truly may introduce you to some—along the shopping beat, and of course, there are always ‘new buys” and “new bargains”—in Our Town! Co., 132 Duval Street has an ex- cellent selection of the cheaper grade linoleum with a plastic fin- ish. This is a good, inexpensive way to dress up your floor. For only 59c a running foot you can buy the finest quality lino- leum in this price range and be assured of thi fest pi and also, the name “Armstrong”. You'll find it easy to put this down yourself as it doesn’t re- quire pasting. While at the Key West Floor Covering Co., inquire about the plastic wall tile which is easy to install on any wall. Comes in 4 1-4 x 41-4 squares, for only seven cents apiece and your home is really expensive to do—after a trip to the Key West Floor CoveringCo. ss mete Jf you happen to see Agnes Re- ardon be sure to have her tell you the story of the removal of a “root” from her yard—'tis truly hi- larious! Saw her and her husband, Bill, and Kathleen Lucas and “Miss Clara” and Mr. Mac Bennett hav- ing dinner the other evening with Edith Moffatt (senior, that is). 22 = =f The Ditty Box, 832 Duval is fa- mous for its “basketware”. All sizes and shapes of things ‘made of straw” are to be had in this darling little shop. Noticed the _ three sizes in the graceful “‘corn- Ucopia” shape, and too, these are on small stands. You'll re- ceive a lot of comment when you use this unique basket for either fruit or flowers. \ Also, the Ditty Box has just received a new shipment of those “Mothe: basket pocketbooks, which real- ly resemble the old man’s fishing creel and ever so cute! By all means—don’t miss seeing the grand new straw items at the Ditty Box. Lie § #4 OPEN NOTE to Jack Clarke: Mickey Renna, President of the Players has been trying to get in touch with you to tell you that— the group will not be idle this sum- mer. : ge cf You will not only enjoy a very fine dinner—lunch or breakfast at the Banana Tree Grille, 523 Truman Ave., but Mrs. Edwards will be glad to discuss the many plants—including the different species of “banana trees” grow- ing in the yard around this charming restaurant. Stop in and try their fresh | tropical fruit salad—or the “‘to- | mato rose’ stuffed with delici- ous chicken salad. Perfect food fare for these warm days—serv- | ed at the Banana Tree Grille. fs ms B KEY-notes: Lennie Milan of the} “Flagship”, Helen Russell and Harvey Bledsoe discussing old coins and pouring over the ‘“‘cata- logues.”” Lennie was using an eraser on a| fragile looking dime—circa 1856— in an effort to uncover any hidden| symbols or markings. He was also very proud of an 1852 penny, but would not divulge his source of finding these outdated coins. 22 2: Bill’s Supermarket, 3430 Duck Avenue (Poinciana Center) is one of those grand grocery stores where you not only enjoy shopping, but chating of this and his bride Sheila Jerri or “Poppa” THE KEY WEST CITIZE! wl delicious homemade potato or acaroni salad!

A superfine Supermarket—Bill’s —at Poinci- anal Seen ; Steve Atkins, of the local police force, told me of “‘The Polka Dots” and must ‘admit this is some base- ball team! As they say, their rec- ord is unequalled—never a win yet! However, they allow as how they are the best team at Wickers’ Field—of course, they make this statement inasmuch as they have never played there! Those making up the team are Earl Barnett, Tony Cuccinello, Bill Cuccinello, Bob Holt, Phil Credle, Freddie Collins, Phil Milo (who plays guitar in center field), Joe Cuccinello and Steve Atkins. Hope yours truly has included everyone in the line-up—but understand this varies a bit also. So, you all can readily see how they arrive at their motto—“Three Up—Three Out’. Quite a baseball team, with polka dot caps and lots spirit and team play! 22.22 SPECIAL “THANK YOU” OF- FER — TWO PICTURES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE! Poray Studio, 404 Southard Street are celebrating their se- cond birthday, and from now until July 17, you may have two of any photographs made in their studio—for the price of one!

Walked right over and swiped my pencil right out of my hand! Seems as if he likes a little lead in his diet. George is really handsome—green plumage flecked with red on the wings and he really has personality. Tried to teach him to say “Blissful Buying’, but so far his vocabulary is lim- ited. zs == z2 Don‘t forget the SALE AT EINHORN’S VARIETY STORE, corner Angela and Duval is still in progress.

The program is under the direction of Fred Taylor and Mrs. Pollock. The workshop will be unique in that it will be devoted almost ex- clusively to the training and advis- ing members and interested per- sons who have had little or no ex- perience in the theatre. Because the Key West Players | are a non-profit organization and | one of their chartered purposes is | thé stimulation, encouragement | and development of the arts in Key West there will be no charge for the eleven week course. The Players are recognized as/ one of the outstanding little theatre | groups—not just in Florida, but! throughout the country—and wher- ever little theatre groups are dis- cussed, they are commended for the high quality and professional calibre of their productions. The workshop will be comparable to a university summer course, and knowing the Players, the instruc- tion will be any thing but dull. | The lectures have been planned in such a way that they will be en- tertaining and amusing. For instance, the first night’s. program will consist of scenes | from past productions to be given by members who were actually in the plays—Jack Clarke in a scene from “Born Yesterday,” ‘Doc’ ;Gunderson and Drake Circle in \“Mr. Roberts,” a scene from the “The Bat” with Gertrude Splaine and Janice and George Mills White |in “Arsenic and Old Lace.” The Players stress that everyone |is welcome and that attendance at | the summer «workshop as well as/ membership in the group is open |to anyone who is interested in the | | theatre. | During the Players’ early years, !an erroneous local conception was |formed that the Players: were aj} “social clique,” composed almost of | | “strangers” (ed. note—non-Conchs) | and closed to anyone else who had | not received a direct invitation to | become a member. | Unfortunately there were a few who encouraged this line of thought, | but these were not the ones who| worked in every production, acting, hammering, building, painting, making costumes and all the oth- er jobs that go to make a success- ful show—they were the ones that showed up at dress rehearsals, |end-of-run parties and suppers given by the group, and the ones who volunteered for production jobs } but did no more that be sure their |names were spelled correctly on the programs. This type of member no longer exists in the Players and one of the prime reasons for the summer workshop is to encourage attend- ance, membership and the active | Key Wester. The players will prove that it is | definitely not essential to have had | participate in production activities, and to build up some degree of confidence enabling the “recruit” to “git up on the stage and fight | for a part.” | | The lectures and demonstrations | and workers are made, not born. jdesire to be a “ham.” i It requires only an interest in the | theatre, willingness to work and a Some people are “natural born; actors” but the instant they see | a stage, they scurry away in the| opposite direction because they are | Georgia Street, and | Suests Mr. and Mrs. W.
