FANNIE HURST RAVESOVER WINTER PARK

By Marge Lockman,Seeing Fannie Hurst for the first

time one immediately thinks ofbright lights and fashionable andrather "ultra" gatherings—PalmBeach, Newport, Broadway. MissHurst in her manner, her dressand her personality, typifies themodern sophisticate in every senseof the word. Therefore one ratherhesitated to ask her opinion of sucha relatively quiet and conservativecommunity as Winter Park. Theanswer might be—well, merely po-lite.

But.Miss Hurst raved. A charm-ing and quiet rave, but a rave nev-ertheless. In her deep attractivevoice she told that it was her firstvisit to Florida and that heretoforeFlorida to her had meant twoplaces—Palm Beach and Miami.She admitted that it was probablyher own fault, but that just thesame when she decided to come toFlorida those were the only placesshe even thought of visiting. Andthen she came to Winter Park lastweek a few days early for her ap-pearance on the Animated Maga-zine.

"Three days in Palm Beach,"Miss Hurst said, "and I decided Ihad seen all of Florida I cared to.Everything- there is overdone, ex-aggerated. The colors too bright,noises too loud, the sun-tannedbacks too tan, the people too ob-viously trying to have a gay time.I grew dreadfully tired of watchingpretty young women do imitationjui-jitsu on the beach for the ben-efit of movie cameras. Awful.After a few days of this the con-trast of your Winter Park wasbreath-taking."

"You people of Winter Parkshould rise up and bay to themoon," she said. "The world shouldknow about such lovely places, Ihave not yet had enough time tofully see your town, but what I

have seen is indescribably lovelyand it has an unusual atmosphereof peace and beauty. I cannot be-gin to tell you what a delightfultime I am having. It is no wonderthat in such an atmosphere oneshould find so many people doingfine creative things in the world ofliterature and art." Asked if shecould be quoted, the novelist re-plied, "Most decidedly. I shall bedelighted."

The conversation quite naturallydrifted to women and the spherethey occupy in the world today andcentered on what Mr. Hitler is at-tempting to do with the woman-hood of his country by insistingthat they return to the old daysand concentrate on cooking, home-making and child-bearing and leavethe progress of arts, letters andbusiness entirely in the hands ofthe men.

"It is a great pity to strugglefor years to take three steps for-ward only to be forced to take twosteps backward," said Miss Hurst,"but it can be but a temporarycondition. Women have fought toohard and too valiantly to achievethe place they now occupy in so-ciety to relinquish it without afight. The fight has been so hardfor the last three years due to thepsychological effect of world-widedepression, that women are just alittle tired; just a little windedafter the long climb. There is atpresent a tendency, not only inGermany, but even in this country,for women to relax and mentally'let go,' but I feel that it is just abreathing spell. They will comeback, and with a bang. Women oftoday in this country are fortunatein having such a woman as EleanorRoosevelt to look to for leadership.She is the greatest impetus forprogress that we have."

Because Miss Hurst has workedin all sorts of jobs from salesgirlto waitress, and has achieved out-standing1 success as one of Amer-ica's foremost novelists, she knowsthe world from the seamy side upand the smooth side down. Onefeels that Fannie Hurst quite prob-

ably knows what she's talkingabout!

Her latest novel, "Anitra's Dance,"has just been completed.

SWISS EXHIBITAT DICKSON - IVES

A number of prominent WinterParkians saw the Swiss exhibit atDickson-Ives in Orlando Mondayand were charmed by it. Prof. J. J.Pfister, of Rollins, stated to Win-ter Park Topics that it was one oithe most artistic and interestingdisplays shown here.

The exhibition comprises theproducts of sixty-five Swiss homeindustries, including wood andivory carving, handkerchiefs, em-broideries., pottery, toys, children'sdresses and hand woven linens. Allthe articles except some valuablemuseum pieces are on sale.

In connection with the portraitsJean Jacques Pfister of the RollinsArt Department painted for thepermanent collection of the RollinsLibrary (which were unveiled Sat-urday morning by the RollinsAlumni in the Pounders' Week pro-gram), Mi*. Pfister is showing anumber of important paintingswhich have never before been ex-hibited in Florida. The portraitsoccupy the main wall of the gal-lery. Miss Lucy A. Cross was"Precursor of Rollins" and withRev. Charles M. Bingham co-la-borer was a pioneer in the found-ing of Rollins College. The por-trait of Rev. Charles GrandisonFairchild, painted by R. H. McKel-vey, was also unveiled, Rev. Fair-child having been president of Rol-lins from 1891 to 1895.

Mr. Pfister's painting "Batteredbut Unbowed" is a lovely rathertonal painting of the old cypresstrees in California near historicMonterey.

Perhaps Mr. Pfister's most im-portant painting in this small ex-hibition is "The Strange Forest,"a picture of famous Signal Hill,Long Beach, oil fields, known asthe richest in the world. The greatcanvas was painted in inspirationalmood, with no lagging of interestas the artist was faithful to detailsof derrick, drum and last glows ofa setting sun. This painting wasoriginally shown in the StendallGalleries, Los Angeles.

One of Mr. Pfister's most suc-cessful and delightful landscapesis "Lake Virginia in Moonlight,"with the clouds lighted by an in-visible moon and Spanish mossdraping the oaks into graceful line.The portrait of "Dr. Buell," unfin-ished, will be of interest to manyof Winter Park who knew him asa part of the Rollins College cam-pus, though not of the faculty.Mr. Pfister also shows "The LoneEagle," a companion painting tohis famous " 'We' at Daybreak,"and "Autumn in New Hamphire."

A BRIDGE DISASTER lllllllllllllllMIIIIMIIlllll IIIMHUllllllltlMlllini •er

More celebrities were assembledin Winter Park the past week thanin any other place in the South.

A real estate authority in nearbyOrlando says that there are inWinter Park more attractive home-sites than anywhere else in CentralFlorida. When the buying waveagain comes, as come1 it will, theland available in Winter Park willbe at a premium.

IIFannie Hurst says she never

knew any places in Florida butPalm Beach and Miami until shecame to Winter Park for the "An-imated Magazine." Now she is anenthusiastic admirer. Probablymany others would repeat this ex-perience. Miss Hurst is discrimi-nating.

The suicidal efforts of radio sta-tions are nowhere more annoyingthan during the Saturday after-noon broadcasts of the Metropol-ital Opera Company. Some localstation nearby ruthlessly chattersall through the afternoon makingit impossible to enjoy the music.Such things diminish the popular-ity of the radio generally.

The performance of "Death Takesa Holiday" was a splendid tributeto the dramatic department of Rol-lins. Well staged and effectivelyacted the play served as a most in-teresting entertainment for thenoted visitors who were present.Richard Shattuek' voice,—rich, deepand ear satisfying, coupled to hispowei'ful figure, gave the produc-tion an impressive realism.

MOST PERFECT BOOK

Addressing members of the Win-ter Park Women's Club at theirmeeting last Friday on "The Ro-mance of the Book," Dr. Edwin O.Grover of the faculty of RollinsCollege used his own rare and val-uable manuscripts to illustrate histalk.

Interesting was Dr. Grover'sstatement that the Gutenberg Bible,the first type-printed book, wasstill considered the most perfectand beautiful book in the world.He attributed this fact to the pas-sion for absolute perfection whichGutenberg felt for his work, andwhich is rarely displayed in ourfast-moving modern times.

Though the two chiefly concernedin the affair are probably painedand irritated, to say the least, Win-ter Park was afforded a chucklelast week over the marooning ofMr. and Mrs. J. Gamble Rogers ontheir island home in Lake Mait-land.

It seems that while Mrs. Rogerswas attending a beach party at Ti-tusville and Mr. Rogers was work-ing in his home, a large and heavyoil truck attempted to navigate thesmall bridge connecting the Isle ofSicily with the mainland. Disasterimmediately resulted for the truck,the bridge and Mr. and Mrs. Rog-ers.

Both the Rogers' cars were onthe island with Mr. Rogers andboth the Rogers' dogs were on thisside with Mrs. Rogers. The truckwas on the bridge and the bridgewas in the water. It was compli-cated and upsetting.

Valiant neighbors came to therescue, however, with the "loan" ofa row-boat and an automobile andnow Mr. and Mrs. Rogers are fer-rying back and forth for their va-rious activities. The only compli-cation, according to Mrs. Rogers,occurs when she has to go some-where after Mr. Rogers has crossedand left the ferry on the otherside.

It is not known just when thenew bridge will be finished.

SOCIETY ATTENDS"POP" EN MASSE

Flags of all nations transformedRecreation Hall into a gay and col-orful background for the brightcostumes of guests attending theeighth annual benefit for the Win-ter Park Symphony Orchestra.About 400 socially prominent at-tended the party, arranged by MissMary C. Leonard, manager andfounder of the orchestra.

Feature of the evening was thegrand march around the hall, fol-lowing which prizes were awardedfor the most outstanding costumesin various groups. The Italianpeasant costumes worn by collegegirls who acted as waitresses werean added note of gaiety. Most ofthe guests were in costume, whichthis year were of all periods andall nations.

John Burdett wanted to take care of the finan-cial security of his wife, his daughters and hisgrandchildren.

This was a somewhat unusual problem, yet asolution was found through the Equitable CaseMethod of life insurance planning.

An Equitable agent showed Mr. Burdett howhe could arrange to have (1) the proceeds of hisinsurance held on deposit by the company to pro-vide a life income for his wife; and at the timeof her death (2) the income continued in equalshares to his two daughters for life; and at thesubsequent death of a daughter (3) her share ofthe deposit paid to her children.

KING ALBERT KNOWNTO WINTER PARKIANS

The great sorrow felt through-out the civilized world over the un-timely death of Albert I., King ofthe Belgians, was shared by Win-ter Park because the late lamentedmonarch was known to residentshere.

"My memory of King Albert isas a great, good and kind manrather than a king," stated Dr.Rosalie Morton, who met the kingseveral times in her capacity asCommissioner of the American RedCross during the war. "He was abeloved ruler, but more than thathe was the man that every Belgianlooked to as his greatest friend.No one who knew him during thegreat war will ever forget his

heroic and unswerving interest inhis suffering people, withoutthought of self. His death is agreat loss to humanity."

Gen. Avery D. Andrews, who iswintering at the Lincoln Apart-ments, was assistant chief of thegeneral staff under Gen. John J.Pershing and was in Europethroughout the length of the war.'Though I did not personally knowthe King," the General said, "hisgreat influence could not help butbe felt. He was one of the greatheroes of the war and will be re-membered always as one of thebest beloved monarchs of history."

The Order of Leopold was con-ferred by King Albert on the lateMr. A. T. Aldis, of Winter Park,for the relief work he, as head ofa committee of prominent Ameri-cans, did for war-devastated Bel-
