Better still, I ought to have my
head examined for believing Holly

Hollywood is still Hollywood
the worlds largest manufacturing
center of baloney.
I'm talking about the movie that
played here recently-New Faces.
The advertisements urging you
to see this wonder show said:
Exactly as Broadway cheered

wonderful theatre excitement
intact"
The movie version of New Faces
wasn't exactly as Broadway cheer
ed it and it wasn't Intact.
l saw the stage show, New
Faces, four times when it was on
Broadway.
When on Broadway, New Faces
was a revue. That's all, a revue.
No plot. New York audiences ap-
parently were satisfied with New
Faces as it without the u.s.
ual boy meets girl CUFF.
The show ran for S65 perfor-
manceS on Broadway.
But get load of the Hollywood
version.
We see backstage shots of a love
affair.
We see the villain demanding
payment for the show.
We see the girls father-ap-
parently dragged into the show
kicking and screaming to be left
out-as a suspense element. Up
until the last he is doubtful whether
he will get up the dough to pay
of the shows debts.
This is known as suspense.
So much for the backstage stuff,
none of which was in the Broad
way version of New Faces.
Now let's take a look at those
advertisements:
Exactly as Broadway cheered
it."
"-Wonderful theatre excitement

In the first place, Hollywood
omitted from the screen version
eight big fat, wonderful numbers.
Most of them were hilarious
sketches and they were all tops in
entertainment.
The sketches that were omitted
were:

Hark, the Extra Marital Lark,

The Great American Opera.
Why did the Hollywood producer
cut these sketches from the film
version?
Beats me. Maybe he thought
they were too funny for movie
audiences.
Anyway, they were left out of
the film.
Perhaps if the producer had
omitted the boy-meets-girl CUFF,
there would have been room for at
least some of the worth while
sketches.
Besides, leaving out numbers,
most of the sketches you did see
on the screen were cut.
They even cut some of the lyrics

Neglected Children

Continuing with concrete ex-
ampleS of why we should devote
a little more energy toward help
ing to solve the community's
youth problem, let me cite a case
in which was involved last sum-
mer.
In mentioning these cases, l
hope you understand that the Key
West Police Department lacks
both the facilities and the trained
personnel to properly handle jul
venile problems. Yet every Off
Ger does his best and hopes that
someday the public will wake up
to the fact that child welfare is
a necessary part of community
planning.
About this time last year, was
stumbling along in the chuck
holes of Poinciana. Residents out
there needed a foot patrolman as
much as you and need a hole in
the head. Nevertheless, after the
row raised by a lower Duval
Street group, l was grateful that
my orders only carried me to
Poinciana instead of the Botanical
Gardens on Stock Island.
Not having much to do, / used
to hang around the Jay Teen Cen
ter and talk with the kids about
safety. One night I noticed a
young lady romping and wrest-
ling with the younger teen-age
boys. BY that time I knew the
