THE ISLAND CITY

SIGNIFICANT is the inclusion
of Key West, Florida, in "The
American Tropics, written by
John Jennings. The book covers
the Virgin Islands, Porto Rico
and other tropical points owned
by the United States. In the book
are two beautiful photographs of
the Overseas Highway, one of a
sponge sale and one of the unique
lanes of Key West. Key Westers
have long maintained that this
city marks the real beginning of
the tropics since we have the
coral reefs, atolls, tropical foliage
and climate which characterizes
the tropics. Mr.. Jennings also
recognizes this by including Key
West in the "farthest north Unit
ed States point in the tropics.

There will be two meetings held

is considered that the increase in

TWO of the best foremen on
the W.P.A. are Wells and Shep-
pard. Wells pride is the Light
house Building project with the
exposed framework of the ceiling
well covered, new rest rooms
installed and a complete paint
job. He is known for his stretch
ing of funds and making projects
last longer. Instead of calling
for a large amount of men to
work on a project with most of
them loafing, he will call for only
the needed number. Thus there
is more to show for the money.
Sheppard has been keeping the
boys moving on the Tree Planting
project and has always insisted
on real work from WP.A.ers.
Excellent mechanic, always ready
for call, is Leo Haskins.

COFFEE SHOP TALK: Notice

many "klee klee" hawks and in
sect mosquito hawks out of eve
nings smacking into the many
mosquitoes noticed lately. 1t is
amazing how these birds and in
sects can hit the mosquitoes in
the air. Especially can they be
seen around Rest Beach. With
Halloween coming up little boys
and girls are already attired of
nights in grotesquerie. Key West
makes a carnival indeed of the
period before and during Halo
we'en. .Goniting of the Light
house docks is only half provided
for in present W.P.A. project but
application for completion of the
project is being drawn up.
Proceeds from rent of cabanas at
Rest Beach last year was given
to the Key West Community
Clinic. Would like to suggest
that a few dollars be set aside
for upkeep, especially painting
and matching.

play occurs many years later, when
the name of Jesus is still a black
one in the village of Nazareth.
Mary learns that, outside the neigh
borhood, He is unknown and, when
a son is born to Juda, she begs that
he be named Jesus SO that he should
not be entirely forgotten.
AS any ecclesiastical scholar can
tell, the play is packed with arbi-
trary dispositions of matters sacred
and profane. But the spirit remains
true, remarkably true, to what even
the scoflaws will admit was the
greatest event in the history of
mankind on earth.
The play is called by some tour
de force. because, Of course, Jesus
does not appear in it physically.
The curtain always falls just before
He appears on the scene, and the
authors on occasion are guilty of
nimble trickery to bring this about.
Some times they have to bring the
curtain down with a palpable rush.
But it seemed to me the trickery
was entirely foresveable. With Jesus
on the stage. the play must haze
assumed an entirely different char
acter. The authors set out to tell
the story of the Jewish carpenter
who suffered for man ana because
of man and whose family suffered
for Him. With m>upoa> the stage
the story would have had to be
otherwise.
I-hope seriously I have managed
ts convey the impression \ that I
liked the play. The authors have
missed writing , masterpiece by not
much less than a mile; but they
have avoided Broadway's common
failing of getting either numb or
.ponderous before the Bible. Every
man must love Jesus. This play
makes no contribution to that, but
I think it will make US understand
better the.world for which He was
cruicfied.

Four Productions
Keep Studio Busy

The announcement by Edward
Small that Howard Springs best
selling novel, MY Son, My Son!"
has been placed on the studios pro-
duction schedule brings the number
of forthcoming films from that
studio to four.
Already in production is "The Man
in the Iron Mask" which James
Whale is directing with a cast
headed by Louis Hayward, Joan
Bennett, Warren William and Joseph
Schildkraut. The screenplay of
The Man in the Iron Mask" is by
George Bruce

Mask" onto the sound stages will be
Kit Carson, Avenger." This is the
first producing assignment for
George Bruce, whom Small recently
elevated from his writing staff to

production of "Pago Pago" will then
complete Small's 1889 schedule.

The line looks perfectly even. All
the movements Seem to be in the
same or parallel planes.
But part Of it is just an optical
illusion. The girls aren't the same
height-that's why they look as If
they are. If they were. the girls
in the middle would look shorter
Actually there's as much as 3
inches variance in their height. The
line is tapered from center, so
gradually that 10 girls make up the
difference.
Here are some more facts about
the Rockettes, learned from an
afternoon backstage:
The most ambitious aspirants for
the troupe usually come from out
side the metropolitan district. There
are a number of girls In the line
from the Middle West.
There are more brown-haired
girls than blonds in the line.
Try-outs are held once a week,
but sometimes it's six weeks before
girl is found who meets the re-
quirements.
Sometimes young tap dancers
with babies try out, parking the
baby within view while they go
through the routine.
None of the present Rockettes is
a mother, but some are married.
It's felt, however, that "a girl
generally loses part Of her sparkle
and her eagerness to please every
one in the audience after she's
married. She's likely to feel she's
all set, and doesn't have to worry
Marriage and resultant moves to
other cities cause most of the re-
placements. One year the turn
over was IL.
Most of the discipline in the
troupe is MISUNDERSTANDING out
of the demands of the work.
Late hours and champagne are
no problem. Many of the dancers
prefer milk to champagne, and any,
way their rehearsals are too strenu-
GUS to stay up until all hours at
parties.
Gene Snyder, co-director, said
they aren't interested in "the gid
dy, showgirl type" There's no loud
talk at rehearsals. Promptness Is
one of the few rules. There's an
other against going on the street IN
stage makeup or slacks.
Much of the guidance comes as
friendly advice to new girls from

Wiener, Red Leader,
Indicted on Charqe
OF Passport Fraud
Communist Official Posed
As Citizen 20 Years,
U. S. Jury Charges

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-The Federal
grand jury which indicted Earl
Browder on charges of passport
fraud has returned a similar indict-
ment against second Communist
leader, Robert William Wiener.
The indictment identified Wiener
as the national treasurer of the
Communist party in America and
said he had posed 20 years as a
native American citizen, although
he was born in Russia as Welwel
WarszoWer and had remained an
alien since coming here in 1914.
Assistant United States District
Attorney Lester Dunigan. who de-
nounced Warszower as the "rankest
sort of imposter,' said at the ar
raignment of the pudgy, bespectacled
defendant yesterday Warszower was
vice president of World Tourists,
Inc, which conducts tours in Russia
and elsewhere
WarsZoWer is also vice president
of the Internal tional Workers Order.
He pleaded innocent and was re-
leased in $4,000 bail posted by
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, secretary
of the Defense Committee for Civil
Rights.
He would face a maximum penalty
of five years in prison and $4,000
fine, if convicted. Browder, general
secretary of the Communist party
in America. could get 10 years in
prison and be fined $4,000. His trial
was postponed yesterday until De-
cember Is.
