Elvira Reillys
“Surprise” Show
Delights Viewers
BY DOROTHY RAYMER
As full of surprises as a Christ
mas stocking two months after the
holidays, is the current art show
by Elvira Reilly. A small show,
but wide is scope, the current dis
play at Karns Studio opened on
Tuesday evening. Punch was ser
ved the pleased crowd who drifted
in and out for two hours. Among
them was famous Artist Besser
from New York, member of the
National Watercolorists Associa
tion.
Mrs. Reilly, whose husband Dr.
Harold J. Reilly is a physiothera
pist in New York, is perhaps best
known for her pictures of Mexico.
They are now in the Miami Beach
Gallery. The work at the Key West
exhibit is entirely unique. First of
all, there is a senes of Chinese
calligraphys looking like richly
embroidered, illuminated wail
hangings or plaques. She got the
inspiration from books on ancient
art. One signifies music, with a
drum and bell design in silver,
blue, gold and black. Another in
orange, ebony and silver signifies
calamity. A combination calli
• n blues, pale greens, vio
let and black has various oriental
moois, one of which is a sprout
ing seed, and the interpretation
may be the cycle of life. My
favorite is an emblazoned crim
son blue and gold one. . .a horse.
She also shows a serigraph still
life of papayas on a red and white
checkered cloth and an oil called
“Sea Life" which shimmers with
pink, biue, aquamarine and all the
nacreous shades of marine life.
Hie landscapes are in oil, water

Mrs. Reilly lost all her work and

she went to a “five-and-dime”

the adjustment she can make and

SOCIETY - PERSONALS - NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
Saturday, February 28, 1953
Now Hear This—
Dear Dorothy:-
Well Carnival is over but there
are always those last minute notes.
Unfortunately, the list of names of
all of the workers was not com
plete when you wrote the publi
city for the booth. My apologies to
those workers whose names were
omitted. To all workers, donators
of baked goods and to those folks
outside the club who gave so gen
erously - many thanks for a job
well done. We went over the top
this year!
Did you know that Mrs. Irving
T. Duke received the sewing
machine? The Martin permanent
wave went to Mrs. R. F. Lyons
of the VX-1 Group. Understand
that Mrs. Lyons did not need a
permanent so presto Mar
tins are allowing her equal value
in hairdos, etc. People down here
do so many nice things!
Friday and Saturday nights’ do
nations in baked goods from the
La Concha and Casa Marina were
sold in a little different style and
so the booth profited. A beautiful
pie from La Concha graced the
shelves on Friday night. Did you
get a glimpse or maybe a bit of
the extra special cake the Casa
Marina sent on Saturday? George
Hanskat was the lucky' man to
own that cake! A cheer to Betty
Boyd who went out and made ar
rangements for getting these
things. v

business meeting to be held at the
home of Mrs. C. P. McMurray,
1502 Seminary St., at 10:00 a. m.
on Wednesday March 4.
The regular Officers’ Wives
Club luncheon will be held on Fri
day, March 6, at Fort Taylor
the time 12:30 p. m. The HS-1
group will act as hotesses for the
luncheon. Mrs. William R. Ford
will be the chairman. Do come
you will enjoy it. Was talking to
Mrs. Jonathan Jackson who will
be the speaker for the day you
certainly have a treat in store
for you. For everyone there will
be something of interest in this
program— history, unbelievable
experiences, a Cinderella story, a
success story all wrapped up in
UN AKA’. It really is a secret so
come and be surprised. Luncheons
reservations may be made with
Mr. Dank at the Club until noon
Wednesday Cancellations will
not be accepted after noon Thurs
day.
Duplicate Bridge on Tuesday at
Fort Taylor was attended by
enough people to make up five
tables. North-South winners were
Mrs. McManus and Col. Vermette,
runners up were Mrs. Benham and
Mrs. Lowe. Ensign Malkewitx and
Ensign Spears were the tops for
East-West with Cmdr. and Mrs.
Drake winning second place.
Girls do not forget donations for
the Thrift Shop! Heard they have
such super saleswomen that the
stock is always low.
A big must for everyone is the
Flower Show which opens Satur
day, February 28 and runs through
March 3. Hope to get there my
fif ___ even have tickets! Who
knows I might see you there.

Salvation Army Colonel Addresses
Beta Sigma Phi Sorority At Meeting
Beta Sigma Phi Sorority had the pleasure of hearing Lt. Colonel
Agnes McKernan of the Salvation Army speak on “Prison Reform.”
Colonel McKernan resides in New York and her duties cover eleven
eastern state prisons. The Salvation Army service assists in every
way to help parolees to a better life; second, to help women gain
in economic security.
Crime is lessening due to this
Education and Assistance Pro
gram. The Colonel stressed three
things to keep women out of pri
son: employment, economy, and
security. From all trades and pro
fessions, 48 per cent of the wo
men are married. While in pri
son class distinction grows dim.
She said, the prisoners attend
concerts given by a fifty piece
prison band, hear excellent sing
ers, hold religious services for
all creeds, as part of a rehabili
tation program. The next step is
getting the parolee a job.
Colonel McKernan has been on
the Parole Board for twenty years
as an honorary advisor. Parolees
are so grateful for the help given
them and prejudices against them
has been broken that 75 to 85 per
cent make good. “Too much |s
said about those who break their
parole and not enough said about
those who make good,’’ the speak
er said.
Babies of women prisoners are
not born behind prison walls but
in hospitals outside the walls. The
prisons maintain a nursery so that
mothers there have their children
close to watch over and care for
them, and at times there are six
ty babies'in the nursery. Some
babies are placed for adoption
through regular court channels
with the mother’s consent, while
1 others want to take of them
j when they are paroled.

Rapid Fire Casting Done For New Play 9
Rehearsals Of “Our Toivn” Begin Mon.
All of the cast for “Our Town,” written by Thornton Wilder
and directed in the forthcoming production by Josef Hurka, has
been selected, save for one character, Constable Warren. Rehearsals
begin Monday night at 8 p. m. The record speed in casting is a
pleasant surprise and an indication that the director not only knows
what he wants but is on the way to getting it. There were only two
readings before casting. ;
The story, in case anyone is not
familiar with it, deals with the
lives and deaths of people In a
little village. No scenery and few
stage props are used. A narrator,
called the Stage Manager, tells
about the town and its characters.
At intervals, they go into some
action with dialogue. This is one
drama in which voices alone count
for much if not all of the impact.
The cast in order of appearance
is announced as follows:
Stage Manager. . . Jonathan
Jackson

Doubling in brass, or rather in

der in on Tuesday,, sc it’s belated
birthday heil today for Jack Burke,
the guy who holds the fort for
“The Outpost.” He said he was
all of 33, but these Irishers al
ways look younger, and most of
them act younger, too. Mickey
Renna who is Irish by birth will
probably look younger. . .by rest.
George Renna her husband just
called up to tell us that the South
Winds motel had been sold. See
another story for details.
FLOWERS can be potted,
palms can be potted. . .see the
Flower Show. . .and choir masters
can be, too. Ed Giesbert plays the
potted choirman in “Our Town."
His stage name is Simon Stimson
and stimulated Stimson is the
town drunk. Last time out Ed ran
a fast first as a Paramount Thea
tre “balcony maior" who hit the
bottle, hit the bottle, bit the
. . .floor. Back to the posies, Da
vid Heilweil N. Y. play producer
was giving out rcses and carna
tions the other eve. He finally
told me they came from the
blanket of a winning dog at the
racea. Last night was Ladies
Night at the track ... ad
mission free . . . But I couldn’t
make it because right now
I’m not only me, but Susan
McAvoy, for the past week,
and I don’t have time to go to
the dogs. My own Gaude M’ Col
lie looks as if he had been mis
taken, for Rusty the Track Rabbit
caught by the greyhounds. He
was in a free-for-all one night last
week and all I can wonder is
what the other dogs look like. He
came home with one eye closed
and several chunks and hunks of
hair gone. At least he was among
the walking wounded!
THOSE WRITING BESTS are
off to the Everglades come next
week with the J. Edgar Willings.
After that they will b# entertain

take off for New York. . .Renee
Raiole Bergeron, Frank Rogers’
sister, says she doesn’t expect
people to remember her new
name. . .so clip this out for re

see Irene Glinos’ studio from La
Concha on Duval?. . .It’s grown
into quite a gallery with Gerald
Leake’s paintings there and other
work. You can have portraits done
on the spot. Irene’s opening party
was a howling success. . .but
alack and alas, I can’t find the
guest list and the gleam in the
Glinos eye fixes me with baleful

Friday Afternoon
Miss Susie Duke became the
bride of Robert Sutton SO3, USN,
who is stationed at the Fleet Sonar
School in a ceremony performed
by Justice of the Peace Ira Al
bury on February 27 at 1:30 p. m.
The bride was given in marriage
by Fred Sterns, owner of Duffy’s
Delmonico Tavern where the mar
riage took place.
The bride wore a gown of pink
taffeta and tulle with a dainty
head veil. She carried orchids.
The bridesmaid, Miss Lucille
Esqto, wore a gown of blue taffe
ta and tulle. Her flowers were
carnations.
Best man for the groom was
Jack Burke of the U. S. Navy.
The couple left for a brief
honeymoon trip after the recep
tion at the Tavern. They will live
in Key West until the groom’s tour
of duty is completed.

FISH IBM AN PROTISTS
Editor, The Citizen:
So this is Key West, Fla., the
southernmost city in tha United
States, where real southern hos
pitality should be at its bast.
Along with the best of most every
thing else, Key Wert is widely
noted for its wonderful year round
fishing, so ably attested te by
those illustrous fishermen, Roose
velt end Truman.
But woe betide the poor sports
fisherman who comes to Key West
with the idea of catching tone of
his favorite denizens of the deep
and shipping some home to be en
joyed with friends at a later date
when be would probably gat a big
thrill out of telling bow much
trouble this one gave him and how
much kick be was getting out of
eating same.
In almost any civilized spot I*
the World today this would pro
bably be true, but not ao in Key
West, Fie.
Oh, no, here is this wonderfully
enlightened city the poor fisher
man is told after he returns to the
docks with his hard earned and
well paid for fish, that these fish
which he had to work so hard to
catch and which cost him so many
hard eat .ed dollars, do not be
long to him but to the Captain of
the Boat, but the Captain may
decide to let you have a few to
do with as you please if he so
desires.
This, mind you, after you have
paid sixty dollar* per day o* th*
bare chance that you may catch
a fish, or you may catch ootktef
more than a bad case of Fla. inn
burn, which. happens quite fre
quently I am told.
Imagine, if you can a man and
wife who are ardent fishermen,
saving their spare money by cut
ting comers on the budget, ate.
wherever possible te order te be
able to maho the trip to Key West
to enjoy some of the wonderful
fishing, and then after paying the
sixty dollar daily rate on a charter
boat tad catching a grand total of
eighteen Kingfish whose food value
would go e long way toward meet
ing that maatiooed budget, te bo
told that those fish, even though
you paid for the boat and actually
caught them, did not belong to
you but to the Captain, who also
let you know te no uncertain
terms that he intended to sail
them et a mentioned price of
about eight cents per pound. (Com
mercial fishermen wheee liveli
hood depends on the market,
please note.)
It certainly aeeas a greet shame
to the undersigned that • slimy
little racket like this on the pert
of some of your so-called Captains
should be allowed to continue te
the point where sports fishing es
such will be • thing at the pest
as far as Kay West te concerned,
end which et the seme time would
eliminate • vest amount of tourist
trade from this City. It te high
time that little vicious rackets like
this be done sway with enee end
for all and It te the definite In
tention of the undersigned te see
that every publication that eaten
to the sports fishermen at this
country te made aware of what
te going on aboard the charter
•porta fishing boat* in Key West,
Fla.
Most respectfully yours.
