KNOCK OUT ScHIsM

Here is the biggest single need
of the Chamber and that is to
knock the socks out of this
schism which is rapidly widen
ing the city and causing divided
effort. 1t has always existed and
Hemingway clearly indicated it
in his very fine book, ITO Have
And Have Not. For a long time
there was no middle class in Key
West. 1t was either poor or rich.
Now there is a strong middle
class which puts us back in the
American way of living, This
middle class is predicated on the
salaries of the Naval Station and
on the monies they made from
the scores upon scores Of little
businesses which have sprung up
and serve now the Navy and
later the Navy and the large
Tourist trade expected by next
year. This class wants represent
alton in the Chamber. They must
get it at all costs.

GETTING VOTES

Well the Sponge Queen race
has at last been announced. Let
me repeat again the way the
Queen candidates are to get their
votes. For each book of votes
she sells to the merchants she
collects SIS which she turns in to
the Stadium Committee and for
which she is given 500 votes. This
is good way in which she can
get an early start. Then after
that her race is in the hands of
her friends and the friends of the
club backing her who go into
the various stores and when
making a purchase ask for the
blank votes according TO the
amount of the purchase they
make. This will differ with the
various stores. Those making
the purchases then sign their
candidates name across the top
in the space provided and drop
the votes in the boxes whiehHWill
be provided. Paul Alhury, chair
man of the Stadium Committee
states that all funds collected in
the. campaign will go toward re-
pair of the city stadium. This
stadium's fence was largely made
rickety by high winds of the
past two years. There is a lot
more improvement which can be
made to the Stadium.

Here is where your mature

diverse elements must be drawn

not for just a few. That its adver-

during the incident the man told
them he would let them go if
they would not tell the police.

Clifton Webb Is Home Again
By Lawrence Perry

This. from one who up to few
years ago recorded himself time
and again as "unalterably opposed
to any association with the film
drama"
That was due" he said, ito my
initial experience some years ago
Otto Preminger, who I knew In
the legitimate, offered me a years
contract to come out to the coast
and since l liked the script, I went
Joan Crawford, selected for the
female lead, didn't like it, however
While it was being rewritten re-
peatedly and long after it had been
thrown into the ashcan, I lived in
sort of box in Hollywood, suffer
ing the worst torture that can be
devised for human being
boredom"
Consequently, when the year was
up he hurried back to Broadway,
and the West Coast did not see him
again until he appeared in Los An
geles with the "Blithe Spirit" COM
pany. The afternoon before the play
opened he had lunch with Moss
Hart and Danny Kaye, and Moss
said, Clifton, after the movie folk
see you tonight, you will get lot
of movie offers" Webb merely said
"Oh yeah!"
But believe it or not, the very
next morning five producers had me
on the telephone offering five
scripts. I selected Laura which
people seem to like"
| How does it seem to see himself In
action, a privilege, of course, denied
him on the legitimate stage?
Dreadful! Simply dreadful" he
said. Originally, when used to
look at rushes or completed pic
ture, I'd see some doddering, un-
couth misfit and I'd wonder Who is
that impossible dotard?' And sud-
denly I would realize it was one
Clifton Webb. Lots of actors feel
that way-Herbert Marshall, for in
stance. No sum of money would get
him to view the rush of any picture
he is in"
The legitimate? Oh, he will never
desert the living stage. There is
something in it, he says, that holds
one in a grip of steel.
