Talk about coincidence Helen
Sloan Stetson arrived in town Fri
day night and was completely sur
prised to see excerpts from her
last months letter in this column.
! was just as surprised to see her,
although ] must admit that some
thing like mental telepathy must
have prodded me into digging up
the letter which was buried under
an avalanche of movie set notes
and neglected correspondence, for
I had no idea whe was en- route
at the time of writing the pillar.
Playwright Stetson drove down
with Robert Ginsberg, professor Of
geology at the u. of Miami.
Helen Is staying at 428 Alcazar
Avenue, Coral Gables, phone a.
SALT, and win be happy to hear
from Key West friends who turn
up Miami way. While here, they
tried In vain to locate It. 81. q
R. H. Jones, SurAsDeyDet. Any
one who knows him Is asked to
please relay hello" and tell Of
the futile search. Helen and Bob
came to the combination party ut
the Telegraph Lane pent house
where Ski and Jeanne Skewis
live. The party was q second we'd
ding anniversary observation by
Bob and Nancy Schwanke q two
weeks anniversary for Jim and
Marianne Cobb, and q coming
out" party for Don (Red) Kerrick.
The Schwanke's received wooden
gifts; the Cobbs were given 4 dain.
ty token of regard, and Kerrick got
a shirt and box Of birdseed, all
presented with appropriate re-
marks by Host 81.
BIT PLAYER Rudolph Sanford

many Of the scenes for Twelve
