Choral Society To Open Season
With Convent Concert Dec. 20

Clever programs are being
printed for the affair with the
various choral pieces introduced
by one line of verbal music from
each song.
There are approximately 80
members of the Society who will
participate in the program. They
will present very pretty con-
trast on the stage with formal
wear designated for them.
Rehearsals are going on at
High School Auditorium with a
great amount of enthusiasm ex-
hibited.
Work of the Choral Society
which was organized last year is
just beginning to get the recog-
milton it deserves. The unit was
organized for the edification of
the members but also as a means
to supply an adequate, cultural
choral presentation of music as a
phase of Key Vests winter pro-
gram. There will be no admis-
sion charge to the program De-
cember 20 with everyone in
vited

despaired; four hundred times he
shook his head.
= One morning, at the breakfast
table, Butler found beside his
plate a batch of pictures. The
pictures were all of one child.
One look at them and the direc-
tor yipped Ike man possessed:
1--we found him! I've got the
kid! Where the Sam Hill did
these pictures come from" A
frightened maid mumbled she
had found the pictures under the
morning milk. The search was
on to locate the newfound
star.
The pictures were of nine
months-old Sandra Lee Henville,
known to the movie world today
as just Sandy. Sandy's father
was a milkman who delivered
milk to Mr.. Buffers house and
pride, nothing else, had prompted
him to leave the pictures at the
doorstep. He and Mrs. Henville
had been reading about Uni
versaPs search for baby boy to
play an important part in East
Side of Heaven with Bing Cros-
by. They knew Mr.. Butler would
be simply crazy about Sandra.
Mr.. Butler was crazy, all right,
crazy with fear he wouldn't be
able to track down the child. It
finally dawned on him to call the
milk company; the mystery was
not cleared up until Mr.. Henville
returned from his route and
found the whole plant in an up
roar. A big movie director was
looking for a baby.
The next day, Mrs. Henville
and Sandra went to Universal to
see Mr.. Butler. Mrs. Henville
was wearing a new hat, and her
heart was beating fast, even
though Grandma had said that
no good would come of such car
ryings-on. Mr.. Butler gave San
dra a quick once-over, smote the
air with his fist and shouted:
Hes better than his pictures.
He's tremendous. He's a find.
What a SCOOP.
Then Mrs. Henville spoke. For
a moment an awful silence filled
the room. "He is a she", she
said. Mr.. Butler seemed strick
en-. But with magnificent forti-
tude he recovered quickly; a
great idea was burning in his
mind.
cts no she", he shot back
exultantly. From now on it's a
he. It's the best he Hollywood
ever had. Bigger than Coogan.
Better than Leroy.
Thus a star was born.

objection is that small boys who
know nothing more about the
city except that it has an Aqua
rum and a lighthouse take the
tourists around for a quarter or
so. Result is that the tourist says
there is nothing to see in Key
West and goes off perhaps never
