The Key West citizen., 1952-11-20

CHOWDER

Look for a new klno OF run feSLl-
val place called Trader Johns"
sometime in the not so far future,
with one of the best liked men in
the entertainment field running it.
Note, too, that the restaurant on
Greene Street noted for its lovely
setting of a patio Is being en-
larged and the owners can be seen
every day working at the ground,
setting out banana trees, shrubs
and other means of Identification.
Letter from Guy Carleton, writ
ten with pen IN cheek, and a
cheeky hand, states "At the urgent
request of the publicity dept. of the
Key West Players, CHATS yours,
drooly), / submitted myself for a
photograph to be used in connec-
ton with my theatrical biography.
The result appeared in last nights
issue. The photo might be some
thing from a passport, a rogue'S
gallery or a home for old men and
most certainly win not be instru-
mental in attracting anyone to see
our. performance of "John Loves
Mary"
Now before this goes any further,
and it will, let me put in my two
bits worth. Guy is distinguished
looking gentleman who does not
have to pose with a raised glass
in hand to be a man of distinction.
An ordinary news shot can't posi-
bly, do him justice no matter if we
put shaded lights all around and
gave him studio photo treatment,
which isn't possible in a rushed
news office. Besides, if we made
him stand out in all his male pull
chritude, John McDonough, who
won the Mr.. Key West title, would
come a-gunnin' in a pique of
jealousy.
BRACE YOURSELVES, here
comes a shocker, for there is a
man who does not hesitate to go
into age tally. Guys letter con-
tinues, "My biography was ap-
proximately correct, except that
i DID NOT write that / was in
my seventies. l DID note that I
was going on eighty and it would
have been equally true of ANY
age under that figure. Please be
more careful with statistics and
refrain from stating of any one
81 as being in his seventies. Re-
member, / am typed for generals,
majors, judges, county attorneys
and other persons of prominence,
ability and dignity and am not
cast in parts portraying septua-
genarian, or inmate of the home
for old men. ! ask the public to
witness our performance at the
Barn. The other members of the
cast are not lin their seventies
but do give convincing expert,
professionalism show and it is un-
fair to Judge the cast by the photo
and biography of which this is
the subject"
NEW STYLE in showers to
throw at a bridal couple was set
Monday at the Cifelli-Husse (Pier-
re Duval) wedding when guests
were given handfuls of rice, wheat,
colored bits of confetti and small
candy eggs, all good luck SYM
bols. Church janitors must have
their work sweeping up the floors
after every ceremoneyi Karl Agri-
cola has just opened a show at
the Karns Studio. Detailed review
to come. Meantime, take a few
minutes off to look at the collect
ion with its variety, lively tones
and livelier subjects. Wonder
what ever happened to the pink
rattle left by Tweedledum and
Tweedledee at the police station
by request Of course? Hear
that Dee Cameron is heading
North after this week end but
Jack Travers isn't on the travel
list for the nonce. Lee Goss, Navy
man, and Red Kerrick, also Navy,
are on the adios list. just
when the weather was getting into
that wonderful autumn eoolness,
too.
