"KID MONK BARoNI" at fhe
SAN CARLOS THETRE

A budget picture with no ella
borate sets, the film sometimes
reminds one of the old silent day
pictures when backgrounds were
limited. Even the mob scenes at
a prizefight are budgeted. Des-
pite the title and the subject
matter, the movie turns out to be
surprisingly interesting.
It's the saga of a problem boy,
one of those models built on the
lines of the old Dead End Kids
heroes, who has a terrible temper
and way to back it up his
fists. Trying mental therapy, a
kindly priest, played by Richard
Rober, gets the boy started in
learning to pull punches, except
in the ring. His old gang spoil the
all ideal start, just as a pretty girl
appears to take part in the re
creation program of the local
parish. They involve Monk Baroni
in a row and the padre is knocked
out accidentally. Baroni and his
friend, afraid of the police, leave
town, eventually tie in with pro.
fessional boxing circles and the
exploiting gamblers who have a
finger and a thumb in the ring
racket.
From there on, Bruce Cabot
steals scenes as the crooked fight
manager. Leonard Nimay as Kid
Monk Baroni has his face remap-
ped about the middle of the pic
ture, but he still looks the part of
a touch boxer and the boxing Sc
quences seem TO be the real Nc
Coy. His nickname ought to be

ups of the ring technique are bru.
tai; but that's true of the fight
game anytime, so it's safe enough
to let Junior see this one. Besides
the ending, with an announcement
by the parish priest makes
happy, satisfactory ending.

Writer'S Guild
Announces Rapid
Strides In Work

Three manuscripts, submitted at
the meeting Wednesday night of
the Key West Writer'S Guild, will
be sent to a New York agent who
has become interested in the actNi-
ty of the newly formed organiza-
ton.
The three were chosen from ten
short stories done in letter form.
which was the assignment for the
group. The meeting was held at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ski
SkewiS, 213 Telegraph Lane. En-
tries to be forwarded were written
by Larry Karns, Jeanne SkewiS
and Leland March.
The next assignment is a myS-
terry story which includes any of
the relative fields: fantastic, weird,
detective, suspense, horror, and
the like. Members are to bring
the effort for reading and helpful
advice to the next conclave which
will be held Wednesday, Decem-
ber II, 8 p. m, at the home of
Cdr. and Mrs. James r. Fores-
man, F-E .Ft. Taylor.
Most of the stories at the recent
meeting had humorous slant, al
though one was in the form of
poetry within a love letter, and
one was a series of letters in

bination of the last assignment

A board of judges was chosen
to select the stories best suited to
be sent to the literary agent. They
are Margaret Foresman, Dorothy

ever, the entire group voice opin-
ion and help make the decision
of selection. Marked improvement
of technique and style was noted.
Amateurs, Semi-professionals and
professionals make up the Guild
which is now closed to further

Accidentally Brushes
Off The President

CINCINNATI, o. R-MrS. Aleen
Knierim, for all Of her 81 years
an ardent Democrat, gave Presi-
dent Truman thhe brushoff Sum
day.
The pint-Sized news vendor at
Cincinnati'S Union Tel minal didn't
mean to-she just didn't recognize
the little gray man who handed
her a dollar in payment for a
newspaper.
"You won't be able to spend
that dollar, ma'am," he told her.
Mrs. Knierim was busy. She
peered at the bill and shrugged.
''I'd ike to have a mint full
of them, if that's what you mean,"
she said, and turned back to her
work.
Later she looked at the bill and
screamed: "0h, my God, that
wasn't really himl"
But she knew it was. Across ore
side of the bill was the signature

picture. The skyscape background,
the lonely white building and the
water have the feel of an isolated
spot on the Keys. Shrimp Boats, "
a familiar subject, is attractive but
not as moving as the first one
mentioned. The collection presented
by Claudia Michael is remarkable
for the detail she is able to sustain
in watercolor. Warm brick tones
predominant in "West Martello
Tower" and in "The Old Bank. I"
Best, however, is the unusual
treatment of a familiar nightspot
as it looks in the revealing glare
of day, "Honkytonk by Daylight" !"
Gerald Leake is noted for his
ability to spellbind with silver light
on wonderfully shaded water. His
"Squally Weather" takes the
breath away with the effect of
wind Spilling out of a cloud to
belly out a sail. It's a master
piece by an old master. "The
Cove" is a contrast in feeling. It
is calm, tranquil and gentle.
More modern in technique is the
work of Karl Agricola, local art
instructor who shows pliancy in
media and subjects. Sunlight on
stone with roseate glow is seen
in Church" Romantic Spanish in
fluence dominates his Portrait of
a House," as seen from a patio
on Duval Street. Humor is evident
in "Rest Beach," which is a back
view of a bather. Softness and
sympathetic touch is evident in
Head of a Young Girl" Most
striking is the watercolor casein
titled Shining Light" A view of
a church in colored town with
stormy cloud backdrop and bril-
liant white radiance from the sun
on the front, this painting i'm
mediately recalls the negro spirit
ual "0h Lawd, take away the dark
ness and bring us back again the
light"
Extremely modern Is the abb
stract by Jeanne Porter Kirke. It's
in tones Of red with black, yellow
and white, and faint green lines.
To the uninitiate, it may be puzzl-
ing. But after contemplation it is
easy to see the Mexican Indian
influence. This is the head of
fanged plumed serpent with the
universe in its mouth like an egg.
Indian legend and religious rites
of the ancient Aztecs are associat-
ed with the Interpretation.
The "avant garde" oils of Juli-
an Voloshin reach a climax in
Figures In Abstract" which re-
mind one of Epstein's sculpture.
He even achieves tone of carved
stone in the bold study which was

Lewis Strong called Barber
Shop It's a study of the little
shop on Greene Street with red
and white striped barber poles ac-
centuating the exceliently done
weatherbeaten wooden structure.
The silvery quality Of wood is diff
ficult to capture, but Strong has
accomplished this. He also has
another watercolor called "Man-
grove Clump" which is delicate
and at the same time decisive in
use of green's and blues. Most
striking of all are his two oil por-
traits, viola" and Charles" He
has not only presented a likeness
but conveys the facets Of person
ality of the subject. Interesting
background note, especially Of the
head Of the young man Charles

/ never be peace with an admin
iStration responsible Tor the
"Yalta and Teheran deals"
The American" policy of the
Republican party, Jones said, is
one which would not Shirk this
country'S responsibility as a
leader of nations and would boil
Ster democratic countries of the
world, but would not attempt
to buy the friendship of nations
with American dollars. Answer
ing those who he said charge
the Republican party with a
lack of domestic policy, Jones
said the party's policy would
not be a policy of subsidies to
business, labor, farmers and
politicians, but one of sound
economy and a stable agricul-
ture to benefit all the people.
The Republican party policy,
he added, would not penalize
private capital, but would favor
development of unused resource
eS and agricultural and indus
trial expansion by private en-
terprise; not policy of "soc-
ialistic Utopia" but one OF clear
foresight and vision.
Citing the figures of 10000
killed or wounded in the Kor-
can war, the speaker said the
present day "so-called prosper
ity" is a war economy -
prosperity "fertilized by the
blood of the young men and
women of America"
He said a Republican admin
istration would not "kick out.
gains of the last 20 years but
social legislation would be scru-
tinized for the benefit of all.
Discussing the Taft Hartley act,
Jones said it equalized the UNI
fairness of the Wagner, act, and
that it is not violently opposed
by labor generally, but only by
labor leaders. He added that
workers have great respect for
Taft-Hartley law.
Discussing finances for the
coming republican campaign.
Jones said the quota for Mon
tana has been set at 100000. Of
funds donated in the county 80
per cent is returned. to the
county organization, 10 per cent
to Republican Women's organ
izations and 10 per cent to the
district organization. The bal
ance goes to the national and
state organizations.
The speaker was introduced
by Bert w. Kronmiller, and IL
Dehnert, chairman of the coun-
tv Republican Central commit
tee, acted as postmaster at the
meeting. G. D. Goodnow, fin
ance chairman of the local
committee, discussed local fin
ances, announcing a county
quota of $1,000, nearly a fourth
of which he said has already
been pledged.
The chairman announced the
following results of a straw vote

their choice for president:
