ant event of all was the arrival of
Mr.. Anderson's second play of the
season. the strange and fascinating
fantasy called High Tor"
ONE Of Mr.. Anderson's most praise
worthy qualities Is his vitality.
Although his point of view grows
more and more pessimistic, his mel
ancholy never fades into lethargy.
For one reason or another. most of
our leading playwrights seem to have
deserted us. Eugene O'Neill, Of
course, has been too Ill to complete
the prodigious eight-play series he is
working on. Robert Sherwood has
been satisfied to offer his winning
adaptation from the French. "Tova-
rich" Clifford Odets is too busy
honeymooning and scenario writing

hear from her happily again. Sidney
Kingsley has been quiet since the
failure of his Ten Million Ghosts"
George s. Kaufman and Moss Hart
have been properly active. of course,
and cannot be accused of loafng on
the job. But 1t Is Mr.. Anderson who.
at the moment, leads all of his COL
leagues in activity and vitality and
stands as current head man among
the American dramatists.
WHAT sets High Tor" apart from
" the other Maxwell Anderson plays
is It's slapstick huror. That combina-
tion of low comedy and philosophic
fantasy Is rare In modern dramatic
writing, although it was assuredly not
unusual among the Elizabethans. In
fact, it has already been suggested by
the reviewers that High Tor" Is by
way Of being sort OF modern Mid

eagle-eyed Whitney Bolton, Of the
Morning Telegraph has discovered a
comedy scene in the new play which
Is the counterpart of a farcical epi-
sode in The Tempest" In the An

two low-comedy villains asleep under

and makes the same ludicrous error.
This. however, Is certainly no refec-
ton on Mr.. Anderson's originality.

stories Of The Wingless Victory ana

There is complete realizatio on the
part Of the current management of the

reflective of the respect which the
company accords its work is the per-

name happens to begin with the letter
u" (which 1t never has) he will be
billed at the bottom of the list in the
best tradition Of those few stage groups
which believe the plays the thing.
Specifically, there Is the case of Sgd
ney Granville, who first Joined the
group in 1907 and has played 30 dif-
lerent parts in the operettas. Despite
the pe-eminence of long association
with the company and a superlative
baritone voice. you will always find
Mr.. Granville listed in the "G"s. In
the same sector Of the alphabet Is
Martyr Green, the company's leading
tenor. Others get equivalent treat
ment.
That is the way things go in the
D'Oyly Carte company. which may
be one Of the reasons why it continues
to go along more strongly today than
ever before.

Next to Shakespeare, Gilbert and
Sullivan rank at the peak among
dramatists who expressed themselves
in the English language. What they
had to say has a currency about it
that Is quite as definite today As when
they put 1t on paper in the form OF
words and music. They spoke OF the
moment In terms Of all time, which
undoubtedly is the very good and COM
pletely simple reason why 1887 lends
them its ears as happily as did 1875.
But where does the name "D'Oyly
Carte" fit into the Gilbert and Sullivan
schemee
IT WAS just 81 years ago that the
three names first became associ-
eted. At that time Richard D'Oyly
Carte was identified with the Royalty
Theater in London. One of his friends
was an extremely brilliant English
dramatist with fair for the satirical.
Another was an Irish composer, a
scholarly musician. The name of the
dramatist was w. S. Gilbert; that Of
the musician. Arthur Sullivan. 1t oc-
Cured to D'Oyly Carte that together
they might produce precisely the type
Of entertainment the English theater
needed at the moment. Just how cor
rect that Judgment turned out to be
will be sung across the footlights Of
the National for the next fortnight.
Since Gilbert and Sullivan wrote
their first operetta. Trial by Jury"
many reflective men with the gift
,greatly varied in degree of articu-
Iateness have produced many solemn
volumes to prove that one of the coll
laborators was the others superior.
Some said Gilbert; some Sullivan.
Other men have produced other books
taking the thesis that neither alone
could have achieyed the success which
they jointly earned.
THAT. Of course. was DOyly Carte s
idea-that together they created a
perfect form of entertainment. The

There will be scores of utterly

Christmas Day who will be utter

pie of this county, and other por-
tons of Florida, send in contribu-
tons of money. food, candies, nuts
and other goodies, as well as chill

size, promptly to The Children's
Home Society of Florida, which
has its largest Receiving Home at
1850 Riverside Avenue, Jackson
vile, and Branch Receiving
Homes at Miami, Lakeland and

The Home Society, according to
its state superintendent, Marcus

money having been borrowed this
year to provide for over 1900

If each person able to do so,
who reads this article, would
send in just one dollar, the entire
deficit could be easily wiped out,
and every little homeless young

is stated.

UNIQUE SERVICE
SUNDAY NIGHT
FOUR ITEMS PERTAINING TO
OLD BIBLICAL DAYS
TO BE SHOWN

Pastor Yancy Tillman Shehane
of the First Baptist Church has
announced a very unique and i'm
pressive service to his congrega-
ton this coming Sunday night.
The service will consist of The
Ark of the Covenant arranged at
the Altar just as it was arranged
in Olden Days for their Thanks
giving Service. and the pastor will
have on display the four things
that were kept with the Ark in
that day, namely: The Crimson
Mark; the Pot of Heavenly Food
or Pot of Mamma; the Testimony
of God; and Aaaron's Rod. All
four of these symbols will be
shown and the pastor will explain
their meanings in Ancient 0Days
and their FiilfiTlment IN the Great
Purpose of God IN Chfist.000 fpF9
The Cherubifns will overshadow
the Mercy Seat and Candies will
be lighted as they were arranged
on the Ark attthe Altar in the An
cient Form. This viii be a very
worthwhile service to every per-
son attending. explains Rev. She
hane, because it will not only
show how people worshipped be-
fore Christ, but will show how
everything in that Ancient Serv-
ice pointed to a day of fulfillment
in the fullness of time through
Jesus Christ.
The pastor states that he will
have where everybody can see the
four things kept in the Ark of the
Covenant: The Crimson Mark,
the Pot of Mamma; the Testimony
of God. and Aa-on's Rod with the
Serpent
Membership of the church and
all visitors and strangers are Civ

LEADING CITIZENS OF IT,
TUSVILLE CHOSEN RECENT
LY TO HEAD ALUMNI Or
CARNATIONS

TITUSVILLF Dec. 10 FNS).-
A double-barreled coincidence of
a rare and unusual variety oc-
CURED when two of TituSville'S
leading citizens were chosen to
head the alumni bodies of two of
Florida's leading institutions of
higher learning.
L. c. Crofton, local attorney,
was elected president of the
Alumni Association of the Univer-
Sity of Florida at the annual ses-
sion of that organization at
Gainesville during the recent
Homecoming Week. He was
graduated from the law college
there in 1922 and has been active
in alumni affairs, serving last
year as vice-president of the As
sociation.
Circuit Judge Hillard B. Smith
of this city was elected to head
the alumni of Stetson University
just a week before Crofton's cleo
ton. Judge Smith was gradual
ed from the law college at Stetson
in 1919, and has served for sew
eraI years as a director of the
Alumni Association. suG &c
Tt is seldom that one city is hon
ored by having two of its, citizens
elected to head two of the largest
alumni associations in the same
year, but the most unusual phase
of the affair is that Crofton and
Smith were associated in the prac-
tice of law here prior to Judge
Smiths appointment to fill the
position of the late Judge Wal
lace Wright of Sanford, a post
which he has since retained by
nomination and appointment BY
the governor.

storage, are cheap and plentiful for
the season, bacon and other smoked
meats are lower, making the famous

limited budgets.
Other meat prices are little changed
from last week, though turkeys are
lower and ducks reasonable. Fresh
pork is. probably the best available
meat value.
Fruits and vegetables in variety are
