ing at sea. 1t is rich life that Miss
Algood has lived during and since
the years she became the famous
Abbey theater's greatest actress. Out
of it came lot of experience that
enables her to avoid shop talk and
substitute therefore chatter that is
as merry as it is impersonal. Clam
our girls could learn a lot about
chsrm-the deeper than skin type
from Miss Allgood If they could
not, it wouldn't be her fault, at any
rate.
Honor guest yesterday at small
luncheon, so small as to be vir-
tuaily minute, Miss Allgood gave the
theater a conversational blackout
that was a delight to the ear. That
1t cannot be a delight to the eye
of readers is not so much the fault
of this department as the birds
about which Miss Allgood talked.
The birds, Australian parrots, mi
nahs and other talking varieties sim
ply were not taught to talk for pub
lication in family newspapers. Nor
for the Hays Office, if that makes
the point any clearer. The most
colorful of the lot, parrot of noble
dimensions, gray and pink as to
plumage and Is years old and wise, is
colorful even down to vocabulary.
He lives in Dublin, a testimonial
that Miss Allgood's collection of
birds has been scattered widely over
the orbit she has raveled as one of
the theaters great stars.
Professionally. next to her Broad
way honors for her performance in
Juno and the Paycock," the most
interesting thing that has happened
to Miss Allgood recently is her dis
covery by Hollywood. Having been
bowling over theater audiences,
critics and judges who award prizes
since she first came to this country
with the Abbey Players in 1911, Miss
Allgood may seem a tardy discovery
on Hollywood's part.
She does not feel that way about
1t, however. She has been so busy
with the stage, from London to
Sydney and many stop between,
that she never thought much about
pictures. She has made them, of
course, in England and Ireland,
Her Storm in a Teacup," return
ing to the Little next week, is among
the most memorable.
For five years, but not to the ex-
clusion of her appearance on the
legitimate stage, Hollywood would
like to have Miss Allgood. She does
not know about that. Three years,
maybe? But hardly five. mot at
my age" she says.
If she wouldn't say "blarney" a
man could scoff at that. He could,
regardless.
About war, which crept into the
conversation in the inevitable way
of war, Miss Allgood has a feeling
that she personally is fortunate
human. When the first World War
broke upon the world she was in
Australia playing Peg in Peg O My
Heart" With no way to get back,
women could not book passage on
boats needed for troop transport in
those days, she spent the four years
in Australia.
With no occasion to return to
Europe now, where she would be
one more mouth to feed and where
there would be nought for her to
do professionally, she probably will
spend this war in America.
If present plans materialize her
fall assignment will be the revival
of the Inflated Madame, Will You
Walk?" the late Sidney Howard's
last play, which she played here
last fall and which was forced to
close when George M. Cohan retired
from the cast.

A YEAR ROLLS AROUND

The end of year is usually taken as
the occasion for solemn reflection upon the
course of the individual and the beginning
of the New Year is eagerly seized by many
souls as the era of the new day.
We would not say anything to dis
courage the thinking man, or woman, from
considering life in general and in particular.
There is much profit in the study of self and
the understanding of ones environment.
Certainly, the world needs more, rather
than less, of this kind of thought.
The individual should understand,
however, that the year is an artificial
measure. invented by man to mark the
course of human existence. Time flows
ceaselessly and human life is process that
moves steadily from birth to death, without
slackening for man-made points of mental
significance.
If it takes New Year for you, as an in
dividual, to find time for reflection upon
your presence on this mundane sphere, then
it is well for you that New Year rolls
around. In way, you are superior to many
other human beings, who have no time for
ANYTHING that they cannot comprehend
They spend their days in such activities as
the making of money, ascending the social
scale or earning the gaudy tinsel that men
accept as distinction.

HOW ABOUT ADVERTISING?

Many agencies in Key West are Won
dering about the move recently inaugurated
by the Chamber of Commerce to establish
an Advertising Commission for the city and
county-wOndering about whether or not
progress is being made towards the fOrma-
ton o. that important group.
Planned advertising, so long advocated
By The Citizen, is most necessary adjunct
o. tourist city such as ours, the lack of
which very often wreaks havoc in the form
of wasted funds, spent on projects and
mediums entirely worthless.
SO, then, in order that future funds &C
cumulated may be conserved, small as
they will probably be, it appears highly
necessary that controlling body now come
into the local picture to pass judgment on
the various schemes that will come to the
attention of merchants and organizations
from time to time throughout the season.
Even as recreatiOnal needs of the city
should be met by the formation of a central
body which would administer and direct
f&ciities-this subject of getting the most
out of our advertising dollars should also
De COHlIUI4cu anu CllOuSIClully
The Citizen has not heard of any action
being taken by both governing bodies here
on this subject of planned advertising, and
along with goOd-sized portion of the citi-
zenry, it is now urging that something be
dore.
Other cities have, long ago, taken the
initiative in providing for constructive eX-
pendtures of advertising dollars. They are
now reapng the benefits of such pro-
gram. Experience in the past in uncon-
trolled promotion drives has taught the les
sor of thrift and planning in advertising.
Merchants city-wide will welcome the
establishment of bureau through which
and to which promoters can be referred
By and large, they are unable to Judge as to
the merits of schemes which call for ex-
pendture of small and large sums of
money. Trained advertisers on the COM
mission could dig out the worth or worth
les5ness of the ideas submitted-thus saving
considerable money for all concerned.
If the subject isn't already scheduled
for early consideration, The Citizen hopes
that planned advertising will be reality in
the rot too far off future.

SERVING THE ENTIRE

\ few weeks ago a physician in Gin
cinnati, impressed with a medical paper
published Jointly by six British physicians,
addressed a postcard to the six doctors, at
Aberdeen. Scotland.
The other day the post card was re-
turned to the American writer, with six
notations by British postal officials, ex-
planning why the card had not been de-
livered. 1t is interesting to note the ex-
planation:
One doctor was in India, another in
China, the third ''in Malta with the fleet,
the fourth in Greece, the fifth was last
heard of in Norway" and the sixth was in
Sydney, Australia.
This postal bears mute evidence of the
manner in which these Scotch medical men
were serving their country in her extremity.
1t shows how the war has affected the men
of the British empire.

MIR. KnGdson indicated that in a
recent statement The tremendous
enthusiasm for total defense

fell has apparently abated to a
considerable extent.

The other day Admiral Harold
R. Stark, the Chief of Naval OPP
eratiOns, made this observation:
Dollars cannot buy yesterday
The Admiral was referring to the
defense program in its relation to
the Navy. But that truiSm can
be applied with full weight to
the defense program in toto. We
have appropriated dollars in un-
precedented quantities. But we
seem to be wasting something be-

The defense drive, in short, has

that question that suits you. The
explanations offered in Washing
