Many other local organizations, clubs and civic groups, including the Key West Garden Club and the Woman’s Club, as well at the press, | radio and general publie and the school systems have been most co- operative and helpful in assisting | 4 the Society in presenting these out- standing cultural and entertaining evnts in Key West. Hutchings’ Home Scene Of Garden Club Meeting Members of the Key West Gar- den Club gathered at the home of Captain and Mrs. C. H. Hutchings on Sunday afternoon for a garden meeting. These garden meetings are new this year and have been very popu- lar with garden club members — even the men. During the afternoon plants were exhanged and several new mem- bers’ welcomed. The Hutchings home was attrac- tively decorated with arrangements of native flowers and greens for the lovely affair. One’ of the main topics of dis- cussion was the annual Christmas meeting of the club which will be held at the Woman's Club Thurs- day night. Christmas arrangements made by members will be displayed at thi meeting — looked forward to reach year as one of the highlights of the season. This year’s chairman is Mrs. Aquilino Lopez, Ir. Mrs. Lee Goddard, president of the Garden Club, has announced that the next garden meeting will be at the home of Mrs. J. Ste- wart Hicks, North Beach Road, on December 12.

The correct name of screech owl is not very descriptive, its call being far more of a shivery lament, and just mournful enough to give superstitious folk the shivers, Like most owls, this one is very useful to man since its food consists largely of insects and mice. Nationwide interest in conservation is evidenced by large attendance at Audubon Screen Tours—sponsored in the United States and Canada by the National Auduboa Society, to spread the message of intelligent use and treatmeat of natural Tesources. The Screen Tour season in Key West opens on January 3 when the @oarce County Audubon Society presents “Panama Venture.” ‘ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE TRASCIBLE "MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER”—berates two members of the cast of the Kaufman- Hart comedy which opens at the high school auditorium tonight. by the senior class and will run for two performances.

Kaufman and Moss Hart. The hit play, which critic John Mason Brown called ‘as gay, gid- dy and delectable a comedy as our stage has seen in years,” will con- tinue for two nights. Experienced hands at turning out comedy successes,: Kaufman and Hart, who wrote “You Cant’t Take It With You” and “George Wash- ington Slept Here,’’ centered the present play in the hilarity that ensues when a well-known lecturer, distinguished by the mustard gas that oozes from his mouth in the form of speech takes over the home of some small-town Ohioans, after having fractured his hip on his host’s front porch. For six weeks, he surrounds him- self with theatrical darlings, keeps the long-distance wires himming, acts as match-maker and match- breaker, drives his’ nurse to seek | another profession, turns the liv- ing room into a broadcasting stu- dio, and creates pandemonium in general. Said to have been inspired by the unpredictable conduct of the late Alexander Woollcott, famed as a man of ingenious insults and col- lector of celebrities, the leading role of Sheridan Whiteside in “The Man Who Came to Dinner’ is not one audiences are likely to forget in a hurry. The sharp - tongued | Whiteside will be played by Ar- thur Noble. while his friends, who are carefully undisguised carica- tures of Noel Coward, Harpo Marx and a well-known stage actress, will be portrayed respectively by Dennis Jolly, Bobby Delgado and Gale Varela. Other important roles have .been assigned to Gail Simpson, Frank Hood and Jo Ann Atwell.
