Church, corner of Angela and Whitehead Streets, Monday, November 1, at 8:00 p.m. This accomplished youth has had many experiences, including performances over radio and television. Jose Miguel Mariscal Will Appear In Douglass Concert Key Westers will be given the opportunity Monday night to hear one of their most accomplished and gifted artists play in a grand Piano recital at Cornish Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church, corner of Angela and Whitehead Streets at 8:00. The distinguished artist who will Perform is none other than the young Jose Miguel Mariscal, son of Mr. and Mrs. Miguel Angel Mariscal, 320 Simonton Street. This: young artist, even though only 17 years of age is no new- comer to the piano. Born in Ha- vana, Cuba, he was three years old when he first began to play the piano by ear. Several years later when the family moved to Miami, he began taking lessons at the Mi- ami Conservatory of Music. For the past six years he has been living in Key West. Varied has been the experiences of this young artist who has per- formed at television and concert programs in Miami, and at the Gasparilla festival in Tampa. His crowning performances were in Washington, D.C., where he play- ed‘for some of the nation’s great. It was in December of 1952, when he performed in that city. He play- ed at the annual Christmas party of the American Newspaper Wo- men’s Club- December 16, and some of the celebrities who heard| him were Mrs. Cordell Hull, wife of the former Secretary of State, and Mrs. Stanley Woodward, wife of the U.S. Ambassador to Cana- da. The young musician also studied | with Basil de Toutorsky, well-| known Washington teacher during the summer of that year. This was by invitation. He was also heard by John See- ger, head of the music department of the Pan-American union, and several other important figures in the capital’s music world. They were all impressed by the brilli- ance of his playing. He also played a concert in the famous Hall of the Flags at the Pan-American union. He studies the piano with the hope of some day being most re- nowned. He is now a student of the famous Mana-Zucca who makes her home in Miami. He makes thse trips weekly, taking his les- son on Saturday. Mariscal is a genius and well ado} son. His manners, culture and e demand respect, and when he plays—one is lifted from the earthly regions into the eth- ereal realms where he dreams among the gods. 5 To play this grand concert, Mar- iscal will have his. own concert grand Steinway piano, a gift of his family, in appreciation for his ability and keen love of music. It is the desire of Mrs. Winifred Sands Johnson, who is presenting him in a benefit concert for her candidate for Miss Douglass, Betty Ann Milton, that the ability and grace of this accomplished young artist will serve as an inspiration and awaken in parents a desire to encourage the love of music in their children.

On that night at 8 p.m. at the new stadium, the Douglass Tigers will engage the Attucks High School Tigers from Pompano Beach, Florida. It is our sincere hope that we can make this the biggest sin- sle athletic attraction Douglass High School has ever had. All Negro organizations and many white organizations have been contacted already. So far, the response has been very good. This leads us to believe that with the concerted effort of all, this will be a gala attraction.

It is| ;, our desire that all organizations will furnish either a float or a dec- orated car. We also are urging all organiza- tions to let us know whether or not they plan to participate. This in- formation we must haVe so that the proper balance can be attain- se in the organization of the par- Sincerely we trust that the citi- zens of Key West will give every cooperation to the school in so far as the use of trucks and cars are concerned. We believe that it is for the betterment of all citizens | that we pitch in together and make this a big affair. So when our representatives come to you and ask for your as- sistance, or the use of. your truck or car, please do not offer to rent it. Douglass School can not rent all the vehicles it will need to foster this parade and the only persons to whom we can appeal for help are the civie minded citizens of the community. All organizations will be sent complete information in so far as time, assembly ground, route of parade, etc. Again we urge all of you to help to make this a red let- ter day for Douglass School and Key West. —by Homecoming Com- mittee. * THE VIRGINIA CLUB .

The advertising accent now is on the filtered cigarette, he said—‘frank admission of the poi- son that waits within each ‘guile- less’ white cylinder.” “As Seventh-day Adventists, we abstain from tobacco in any form as well as liquor, but we owe it to our fellowmen to tell them why.” Cornish Memorial A.M.E.
