Joyce Marie Johnson Wears Lace Gown For Wedding Friday Evening Miss Joyce Marie Johnson chose an exquisite gown of white lace and nylon net over taffeta for her wedding to Arnold Whitman Har- rington at seven-thirty on Friday evening, July 30 at St. Paul’s Epis- copal Church. The fitted bodice of the hand clipped Chantilly lace featured a net yoke with mandarin.collar trimmed with lace rosettes. The long fitted sleeves ended in points over her hands. The full, floor-length skirt was fashioned with a scalloped lace overskirt draped over, net, Her fingertip veil of sheer illusion was caught to a lace cap trimmed in seed pearls and sequins. She carried a white Prayer Book centered with a purple-throated white orchid and showered with stephanotis. Reverend George McNeil Ray, who has been serving as supply rector of St. Paul’s read the single ring ceremony before the altar banked with white gladioli, pom pom chrysanthemums and fern. Miss Marguerite Hilton, organ- ist, played “The Wedding Prayer” by Dunlap, and “Oh Perfect Love” by Barnby. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph K. Johnson of 2603 Fogarty Avenue and was given in marriage by her father. The groom, who has made his home since childhood with his aunt and uncle Mr. and Mrs, Warren Patrick of Sanford, is the son of the late Mrs. Doris Bartlett Har- rington and the late Elizur W. Harrington. Miss Patsy Johnson was her sis- ter’s only attendant. She was gowned in a strapless dress of yellow taffeta and net with long bouffant skirt. The long fitted bodice was studded with rhine- stones and a brief net cape cover- ed her shoulders. A yellow net and taffeta hat completed her ensemble and she carried a nosegay of yellow, white and lavender chrysanthemums. Brian K. Lloyd, a friend of the groom was best man. Sidney G. and Benjamin S. Lowe, cousins of the bride, were ushers. The mother of the bride wore a dress of beige linen and lace. Her corsage was made of pink sweet- heart roses and her accessories were white. Mrs. C. W. Harrington, of Win- ter Haven, grandmother of the groom, chose blue linen trimmed in lace, with matching blue acces- sories. Her corsage was made of red sweetheart roses. Approximately 250 guests were present at the reception held in the Parish Hall immediately follow- ing the ceremony. The bride’s table, covered with a handsome white cloth was cen- tered with an exquisitely decorat- ed four-tiered wedding cake cir- cled with stephanotis and fern, and flanked with crystal candelabra holding tall tapers. After spending some time with their guests, the young couple left for a wedding trip to Ellsworth, Maine. They will be at home after West High School in June and was a member of. the National Honor Society, the Beta Club, Student Council, the Keyettes and the Rainbow Girls. Mr. Harrington finished high school in Sanford and graduated from Georgia Tech in 1953, He is a member of ATO social fraternity and Tau Beta Pi, Theta Kappa Theta and HKN honorary fraterni- ties and is a member of AIEE. He is now serving in the Navy at the Public Works Department, US Naval Station. He was employ- ed by Turner Electric Works in Jacksonville before entering the service. Out of town guests here for the wedding were the groom’s grand- mother, and Mrs. Jean Street, cou- sin of the groom, from Winter Haven. The bride’s grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Caviness of Miami; her cousins Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Owensby and family, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Usher, also of Miami, and Mr. and Mrs. Roland A, Weather- ford, friends of the bride, from Miami, Lt. Terry Doughtry Visits With Parents Terry Doughtry, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. William T. Dough- try, 901 Georgia St., is spending a short vacation with his parents here just prior to reporting to the air force station at Valdosta, Ga., for advanced training in jet all- weather interceptor tactics. Terry interrupted his studies at the University of North Carolina about 18 months ago to enter the U. S. Air Force and has just com- pleted a course of training at Wa- co, Texas. Commissioned a second lieuten- ant, Terry says that he is anxious to complete his tour of military duty and to resume his studies to fit himself for the dental profes- sion. Young Doughtry is a graduate of the Key West schools and had com- pleted two years of college prior to his entry into the military ser- vice. Mrs. Wood, Children Leave For Wisconsin Mrs. Chester Wood and three children, Mona Kay, Cheryl, and “Chipper” left Tuesday for La- Crosse, Wisconsin, to visit Mrs. Wood’s mother who has been ill. They expect to be away until early September. Mrs. Wood is president of the Junior Woman’s Pase 3) Students Present Skits At Litile Theatre Workshop Original skits, composed and pre- sented at the Barn Theatre last night by students at the Key West Players Summer Workshop were very entertaining proof that after only three lectures, the series is being well received and absorbed. The Workshop was preceded last night by the regular business meet- ing of The Players, and was a very short one because there were more Workship ‘‘members” present than regular members and President Renna decided to proceed with the Workshop as quickly as possible. Frank Pennington, chairman of the Building Improvements Com- mittee, reported that while consi- derable progress has been made on plans to enlarge and improve the Barn Theatre, yet retaining its arn” atmosphere, that it was his opinion it would not be advisable to attempt to make the change un- til after the 1954-55 production sea- son. He recommended that concreie architectural plans be drawn up after all ideas had been collected and collated into the plans, and then arrange with the Woman’s Club for proper financing arrange- ments, since the cost would ob- viously be far beyond the finan- cial means of The Players. With the laying of this compre- hensive groundwork, it should be a comparatively simple matter for the next administration to have the structural changes made. A motion by Rollene Pollock, sec- onded by Charlotte Pennington that the by-laws be amended to limit tenure in office of both officers and directors was tabled by motion for same by George Renna and Buret Garnett, based on the fact that there were not enought of the old members present to approve such a motion. By-law amendments must be presented at a regular business meeting to be voted upon at the next regular meeting the fol- lowing month, The meeting was then adjourned and turned over to Jack Clark as the speaker of the evening for the Summer Workshop. Unfortunately, his throat condition prevented full development of his subject, ‘Stage Speech,” and he had to limit him- self more or less to short com- ments and answering questions from the audience. Clarke emphasized that probably the greatest sin of the acting pro- fession is ‘‘not being heard by the audience”. . .regardless of one's location, postion or movement on ‘stage, the important thing is to be heard clearly and distinctly. After someone had made a re- mark about “Haow naow brrowwn caow,” “projection of the voice” and “breathe from the diaphragm” without full explanations of these important items, an impromptu talk and demonstration of them was given by Mildred Jeffers, who has recently returned to the play- ers. It was delightfully obvious that Mrs. Jeffers has taught singing and voice in the past and knows her subject from the diaphragm up. In fact many of the old members were very happy to be told and shown, at last, without having to admit their own misunderstanding, just what is meant by “projection” “breathing” and “‘enunciate.”” The Workshop Committee should certainly arrange for Mrs. Jeffers to give a full lecture in the near future, even though she is enroll- ed as a “student” in the summer course, At the conclusion of the open for- um period, Rollene Pollock, co- chairman of the workshop com- mittee, announced that the lecture next Tuesday eveing would be pre- ceded by a buffet supper. . .one that will be supplied, served and consumed by the staff and stu- dents. of the Summer Workshop. New enrollees are welcomed and will be fed free, but regular mem- Three McChristian or counts to 20 in classic Greek. the same language. The McChristian family take this as a matter of course, since little Lillian was born in Greece while her father, Col. Joe McChristian, was serving there as special assis- tant to General James Van Fleet. “Tanker,” their 12-year-old son, isn’t quite as fluent in the ancient language as his little sisters, but “does very well” according to their friend, Miss Xanthi Kompo- rozou, who accompanied the Mc- Christian’s home from Greece. Miss Komporozou became a part of the family on the recommen- dation of a lady-in-waiting to the Queen of Greece. She has continu- ed to instruct the children and Ann, the oldest of the two girls, is now reading classics in Greek. Col. McChristian is the son of Mrs. George Stone, 523 Eaton Street, and they came to Key West for a reunion with his two brothers. It was the first time in 17 years that the three had ail been home at the same time, al- though the McChristians come as often as possible. It was apparent that “Tanker” would like to stay, period. His face lit up when he found out that even 7th graders play football in Key West — a natural recreation for a husky boy whose grandfather (General Van Fleet) was once head football coach at the Uni- versity of Florida! In fact, the whole family likes Key West and would like to come back to live when Col. McChris- tian retires from active duty with the Army. “Tanker” and his dad spent a whole day exploring the small keys in this vicinity trying to find one they like. They also took Xanthi fishing on one of the reef boats. When the bers of the Players had better “bring their own.” The supper will start at 7:30 p. m. and the lecture, which will begin as soon as the supper ends, will be on “‘Stage Make-up” and will be given by Mrs. Byron Lowry. If time permits, the class will also start script reading on stage. » |Hospital. The little girl weighed 6% August 27 at 2610 Fogarty Avenue.

Appropriately what she thought was a big fish on her line, turned out to be a big sponge. “I wanted to keep it,” she said, “but when we got back to the dock, it was gone,” The McChristians and Xanthi left yesterday morning for the War College at Carlyle Army Bar- racks, near Harrisburg, Pennsyl- vania, the colonel’s new station. A West Pointer, his most recent as- signment was at the Academy where he commanded the Ist Ca- det Regiment. The children, especially little Lil- lian, named for her grandmother, Mrs. Stone, were excited at the idea of a trip through the Ever- glades and the prospect of seeing “real Indians.” Which proves that while she was born in Greece and Ann in Vienna and all of them have lived abroad for a number of years, kids are the same the world over!
