Society — Personals — News Of Interest To Women SUE JONES, Editor Monday, November 1, 1954 THI iE KEY WEST CITIZEN Page 3 Jack Clarke To Play Rabbit’s Pal In ‘Harvey’ At The When the Key West Palyer’s p: Barn Theatre resentation of the smash Broad- way comedy hit called ‘‘Harvey,” opens at the Barn Theatre Monday, November 15, at the first presentation of the 1954-1955 season, Jack Clarke will be seen in the leading role of Elwood P. Dowd, the mild, sweet inebriate who took up with a large rabbit six feet one and a half inches ta‘l, and named him Harvey—because that was Harvey’s name. Mildred Jeffers will be playing Elwood’s sister Veta Louise, who is baffled by her brother’s insist ence that his closest friend is an over-sized rabbit, and Barbara An astasis will be seen as his equally | distressed niece, Myrtle Mae. It is Veta Louise’s decision to have Elwood committed to a high class sanitarium so that she and Myrtle Mae might have a normal social life, uncomplicated by an il- lusory rabbit's presence, that sparks the chain of uproarious sit- uations in the comedy. One of the most hilarious scenes in “Harvey,” from all reports, comes when the doctors at the san- itarium decide that it’s Veta Lou- ise who needs committing, partly because she had begun to see Har- vey too. Elwood, on the other hand, seems merely pleasant and reasonable — even though he does carry around a man’s hat with two holes punch- ed in the top for Harvey’s ears! Others in the Key West Play- er’s production of ‘“Harvey,”’ which is being staged by Emily Goddard will include Stanley Pierce, Ger- trude Byrns, Ray Burns, David Meneghel, Lori Monroe, Norman Markwell, Gertrude Splaine, and Fred Taylor. Though Harvey is supposedly never seen during the entire action | of the play, he is said to be so persuasive that he begins to grow on audiences until presently they have little doubt that they will be seeing him themselves, Trends In Men’s Clothes Show Colorful Touch PALM SPRINGS, Calif. w — Styles ahead for men: more bright- colored dress shirts, a “shorter Jook”” in suits and trousers, and shorts for wear at work. This is the prediction of experts at the National Conference on Fashion Merchandising, featuring a two-day fashion presentation of the Men's Apparel Guild in California. Pink shirts were just the begin. ning, the experts told 2,000 buyers and rétailers yesterday, The grow- popularity of the dark-toned suits — charcoals and dark browns —means men will want new, bright colors to wear with them. Shirts in helio (a purple shade) and lime colors will be gaining in popularity, the authorities said. Suits and sport clothes with a “shorter look” — shorter cuffs, jacket sleeves and coat lengths — were displayed in a fashion show. And stylists even predicted men will be wearing Bermuda shorts to work next summer, Is Told At Recent ‘Beta Omega Meet Virginia Whitmarsh, speaking on the subject of “Cosmetics” traced the use of aids to feminine beauty from ancient times down to the pre- sent day at the meeting of Beta Omega Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi held last week.

No COLD WEATHER FOR NORTHERN VOTERS \Miss Kate Curran, | UCDS Worker, To Leave Nov. 15 Miss Kate Curran, social work- er with the United Community De- | fense Services, will leave Key West on November 15.

Although Miss Curran insisted |that her work in these various fields not be publicized, it was jthrough her untiring efforts that | interest in them were created. “Miss Curran is a lovely person,” said one lady. “Only a woman who is herself inherently good could} work so unselfishly and tirelessly | | for the good of others.” “Since she has left us for gen-/| j}eral welfare work in Key West, overall interest in the betterment campaign has decreased,” another said. Miss Curran, originally sent to Key West by U. C. D. S. at the) request of Naval autorities, was assigned to Sigsbee Park to es- tablish an overall community ef- fort. Her aim has been to have the) people choose their own projects, | remaining in the background her- self while stimulating the interest | of individuals. ey “If Miss Curran has a fault,” said one man interviewed,” “‘it is believing everyone to be complete- ly good.
