Three Different Stage Sets Call For
Much Ingenuity In Scene-Shifting

The Three one-act plays being
put on by the Barn Theatre the
week of May End through May
7th hardly indicate a very ambi
tious production, but actually,
the different sets needed for
these three plays, make the stage
work a most ambitious under
taking
All the stage craftsmanship
available in Key West has been
called upon to provide scenery
for these three different sets. Be-
cause of the small stage and ex-
tremely limited working space
backstage the trick of converting
from a radio studio to a Greek
palace with balcony overlooking
the Aegean, to the cold prison
walls and barred windows of a
Connecticut penitentiary requir-
ed much ingenuity. 7

rected by Jonathan Jackson and
goes on first. The set is so design
ed as to strip within a very few
minutes.
When stripped it reveals the
Greek palace, Ionic columns and
all, setting for "Helena's Illus
band" directed by Christopher
Clark head of the Island City Art
School.
Following the second playlet;
intermission time is used back
stage to prepare the set for The
Valiant" directed by Cyril Mar
shall.
A very considerable of any
good stage setting is due to the
lighting. The Barn Theatre dur
ing the current season has thru
the longtime work of Command
er Russell Albright, USN, one of
the best stage switchboards to
be found in any little theatre. 1t
permits all the variations any
producer could desire.

President Truman's personal
intervention in behalf of Florida
may mean an additional three
million dollars for our state il.
the coming year. Last Tuesday
President Truman recommended
that four million dollars be APP
propriated for Florida's flood
control program. instead Of the.
one million previously recom-
mended.
At the beginning of this session
the President had sent to the
Congress his budget, which in
Guided an item of one million
dollars to be spent in Florida u
commence the gigantic flood con-
troll and water conservation pro-
gram. Although the Congress can
appropriate less or more thaa
the amount recommended BY the
President Appropriation conn
mittees are generally guided byl
the Presidents budget. Devia5
tons are usually for less rather
than more than asked for by the
Chief Executive. The House last
month passed the Civil Functions
bill which contained an appropfi-
alton of one million dollars for
Florida's flood control plan for
the fiscal year 1850. =
Although your delegation had
requested more than the one mill
lion dollars, the House Appropri3
atoms Committee had felt II. was
bound by the budget limitation.
Last Tuesday afternoon this
bill was scheduled to be consid1
cred by the Senate Appropria7
tiens committee, and we realized
the urgency and necessity. Of in1
creasing the budget recommends
ton. So Senator Holland arrang
ed an appointment for HIMSELF
Senator Pepper, Congressman
Rogers and myself to see Presi
dent Truman on Tuesday Enorn1
ing. We all went over to. the
Waite House and We're cordially
received by the President, who
listened sympathetically to our
requests for additional funds. We
had an interested and informed
listener for the President, who
has made Key West his winter
vacation land, has flown over
Florida numerous times and seen
first hand the many acres cover
ed by flood waters.
The President soon told us that
he would have the Bureau Of the
Budget increase the budget rel
Quest to four million dollars, and
that we were authorized to make
that announcement So your Flo5
rida delegation then went back I'd
Capitol Hill and told the Senate
Appropriations Committee or the

the committee will grant this lar1
