76 Prominent Key Westers Boost
Humane Society Ball Floor Shoiv
Get out your best bib and tucker and your friends for Friday
night when the Humane Society Dance, sponsored by 76 prominent
Key Westers, is presented with a scintillating floor show topped
by Maya, featured interpretative dancer who is arriving in Key
West by plane on Friday. She will be the houseguest of Mr. and
Mrs. George Mills White during the weekend. Maya will do three
polo numbers, each in a special costume during her appearance here.
The first in the group is Orien
tal which Maya does completely
veiled to Anitra’s Dance by Grieg.
Her second presentation is a gypsy
dance to a selection of gypsy tunes
which make up “Troika Bells.” It
is a temperamental character
dance in which she portrays the
Unrestricted girl of the plains who
longs for her absent sweetheart
and in imagination is reunited with
him.
The third dance is “Daughter of
the Caucasian Chief,” a stylized
number in which Maya uses cym
bals and depicts a fanatic follow
er of the “whirling dervish” cult.
The famous dancer first came
into prominence in Florida a few
years ago in the production of the
Miami Little Theatre’s version
of “Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
The production centered on a well
trained corps de ballet which was
the talk of Miami. It .brought Ma
ya to the attention of the public
and spurred her on to advance
study of the dance. At that time,
Jack Monts, now a solo dancer in
the Metropolitan Opera Company's
ballet, appeared with Maya. He is
also a former student of Princess
Nina Carriciola.
Local talent includes Gerry Pin
der and his partner, Lavonda Saw
yer and members of the Pinder
School of the Dance. Talented
Glenda Kilgallen will be featured
soloist in “Kitten On Toe.” Dyna
mic Gale Varela will be soloist in
a vivacious mazurka supported by
corps de ballet and will also dance
a Spanish classic, “Espana Cani.”
* An impressive list of sponsors
for the affair which is one of the
brightest on the social horizon this
season, includes: Mr. and Mrs.
Earl Adams, Mr. and Mrs. Ed
ward Ambler, Mr. and Mrs.
George Aston (La Hacienda), Mr.
and Mrs. Jean Baillod, Mr. and
Mrs. John G. Ballentine, Comdr.

Arbor Day which is the third

grew to be twenty feet in height.

early experience with an avocado
tree was given by Albert J. Mills.
Mrs. J. E. Trevor told of her suc
cess in sprouting seeds of pink mi
mosa with the seedings now three
inches high.
There was informal discussion of
plans for the annual flower show

plans would be made by com
mittee chairmen.
Miss Hilda Cunniff, president
supervised the business session.
She reported that pictures were
taken in various Key West gar

Color Art Films
Shown Sunday
Fascinate Group
About 50 people attended the first
showing of the color movies spon
sored by the Key West Artists
group which was held in a room
at the Trade Winds courtesy of
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Lazarovici,
Sunday evening at 8:30.
Projector was operated by„ Lar
ry Karas. His wife Tomi was in
strumental in getting the movies
for showings here, working with
Elvira Reilly who had seen some
of the films in New York City.
The first one was a fascinating
Indian legend cinema done with
authentic masks loaned by the
National Museum of Canada from
their collection of British Colum
bian masks. It was a Crowley
film.
The grotesque, yet somehow
realistic masks were startling,
sometimes horrifying, sometimes
humorous and now and then
beautiful, as in the placid face of
the moon. Indian tribal faces, wolf
heads, the masks representing the
winds, the seasons, hunters, good
and evil forces with spiritual in
terpretation and especially the time
weathered face of the old man who
was a sort of high priest, or coun
cil head, were fine examples of
primitive art.
A second film with Dennis Mor
gan narrating showed the cultural
growth of the fine .irts and music
colleges at Idyll wild, California.
Chinese artist Dong Kingman at
work or scouting for subject
material brought out some views
of San Francisco’s Chinatown
which were interesting.
Topper with the mask picture
was the camera treatment of Na
vajo sand-painting, a real art
which is part of the Southwestern
Indian tribal customs and an un
usual cultural contribution to crea
tive arts.
The film action showed the medi
cine man giving treatment to a
sick patient via the centuries old
sand-painting technique. Artists of
the tribe take the colored powder
ed sand and fashion marvelous de
signs on a neutral sand background
directed by the medicine man.
They work out the elaborate pat
tern with tokens and omens and
meanings steeped in Navajo wor
ship and rites. The patient then
sits in the middle of the painting
while incantations are said. After
the treatment, the entire work is
erased with the belief that the
Inidan’s illness will vanish with the
destruction of the painting which
has absorbed the evil forces by
virtue of the arranged symbols.
Seasoned wood may contain as
little as 6 per cent of water in
dry climates, but in wet climates
it may contain 20 per cent or more.
