. wd SANTA’S Mail Box Children of Key West and Monroe County are invited to send their letters to Santa Claus to The Key West Citizen. Each day Santa will read in The Citizen what the girls and boys want for Christmas so that he can start filling orders ahead of time. All letters will be placed in The Citizen’s Special Mail Bag and sent to Santa at Toyland, North Pole, by special airplane. Children are asked to make their letters as brief as possible and to be sure the writing is legible. Christmas will be here before you know it, so get busy and start sending your letters to Santa at The Key West Citizen. Dear Santa, electric train.

Written for the screen by Frank Fenton from a story by Fred Frei- berger and William Tunberg, “‘Gar- den of Evil” was filmed in Tech- nicolor on location south of the bor- der and is to open at the Strand Theatre Dec. 21. Gary Cooper rides from his triumph in “High Noow” out into the black sands and forbidden mountains of Mexico together with Susan Hayward, the temptress and the owner of the treasure to be had in the “Garden of Evil” and Richard Widmark, philosopher and gambler. In their company ride. Cameron | Mitchell, a bragging cowardly gun- man and Victor Manuel Mendoza, a silent Mexican strong man. BY JOE LOW FROM JOLO | BRIDGEPORT, W.

The stars, however, need no in- troduction. Miss Lindfors, whose current appearance on the Broad- way stage captured the most sop- isticated of audiences, is a bril- liant popular screen personality; Paul Christian, also, has scored hits in his previous stage and sereen roles. Together, they make an outstanding and distinguished comedy team, Considering the fact that the Mort Briskin production which is , distributed by RKO Radio, was | shot in and around Vienna, and that, | the technical crew on the film was | assembled in Europe, it really isn’t | | so strange that other names in the cast won’t be recognized. | Most of the players were secured through the State subsidized thea- tres of Europe’s occupied countries | — mainly Czechoslovakia.
