"MARK TWAIN" OPENINGAT THE ANNIE RUSSELL"Mark Twain", the Annie Russell

Theatre's first World Premiere, willopen on Tuesday, February 18 andrun through Monday, February 24.There will be matinee performanc-es on Saturday, February 22 andMonday, February 24, at 2:30 P.M.

The three men responsible forthis production, the playwright,Harold M. Sherman, the director,Howard Bailey, and the star, FredStone, are all men of wide experi-ence and great ability in their par-ticular fields.

Harold M. Sherman is best knownfor his work in the film "The Ad-ventures of Mark Twain", in whichFrederic March starred two orthree years ago. This was one ofthe best biographical films evermade. Unlike "Wilson", released atalmost the same time, Shermanwas sufficiently familiar with hissubject to treat it with affectionand sufficiently far from it in pointof time to see it in proper perspec-tive, "The Adventures of MarkTwain", like the play at the AnnieRussell, is not a piece of faithfulreporting, it is a slice of life, reallife.

The a 'f n[ dramatic biographydoes n Jt oonMSi m setting the stage

, and then placing upon it a dummy( which merely repeals the recordedwords of the living model, it mustbring' that man or woman back tolife, so that they will live and moveand speak out of their own mouths.

Tills Sherman has done in "MarkTwain",

Fred Stone's task is no less diffi-cult. Although he is given thebones of the character, it is his jobto clothe them with flesh and blood,

JEANNE WELTY IN •THEODOSIA BURR

Perhaps the magic key to JeanneWelty's success as a monodram-.atiit is that her full-length pres-entation of The Mystery of Theo-dosia Burr, which will be presentedhere under the sponsorship of Dor-

;:,'othy Lockhart, on February 17 as•••, the fifth event in the Town Hall

lier, Frances Robinson-Duff andRalph Bellamy. She was starred inMax Rheinhardt's California pro-duction of The Miracle.

It is only such a person as^eanne Welty, with a great gift forthe theatre Who can give to thetheatre the prodigious amount ofloving care, imagination and in-spiration that she gives in the roleof Theodosia Burr.

Addressing a capacity audience,in Annie Russell Theatre, EdwardTomlinson declared that democra-cy is threatened iti the Latin Amer-ican countries. Totalitarianism isadvancing. The most influentialpolitical party, the Apristas, in Pe-ru are influenced by communism;they are anti-Soviet, but are devot-ed to the collectivism and otherideals of the early Incas.

Nazism and fascism manifestthemselves in many countries, prin-cipally in Argentina; under thecloak of nationalism, President Fer-on, in Argentina, has suppressedfreedom of speech, press and in-formation; by decree he controlsradio and has confiscated all news-print; over 700 professors andteachers have been dismissed inthe past few months, because oftheir liberal views. All banking andloans and exchange, as well as allexports, are under Peron's control.

The dictators claim that they aredefending their people against theimperialistic encroachment of UncleSam; communism seeks to nation-alize all industries, notably copper

in Chile, and oil in Venezuela, al-though these industries pay thehighest wages and provide the besthousing the workers have everknown. Undoubtedly the anti-for-eign propaganda emanates fromcommunist Russia; they work skill-fully, influencing radio and press;often the hammer and sickle andred flag are displayed in politicalcampaigns.

Mr. Tomlinson declared that Na-zism made its last stand in Argen-tina, and he named some of Per-on's backers who were Hitler'strusted representatives, a banker,former assistant to Schacht, andLudwlg, and Jose Figuerola, formerprivate secretary to dictator Primode Rivera, in Spain,

Argentina now maintains thelargest standing army of any ofthe Latin American republics; 45%of the Argentine budget is for themilitary; vast new military estab-lishments are being developed onthe pampas over near the Chileanfrontier.

FRENCH CLUB ENJOYSMRS. BARNETT'S FILMS

The French Club of Winter Parkmet at La Maison Provencals lastFriday evening and were showntwo films, one on the French paint-er, Henri Matisse, and the otherof St. Malo.

The Matisse film was especiallymade for Baroness van Boecop bythe French Government and showedthe painter at work. The film is avaluable document of tremendousinterest in that it shows one of thegreatest painters of modern timesactually working on .his pictures.One sequence, showing a series ofMatisse pictures superimposed up-on each other, demonstrated thepersistency of a heart-shaped pat-tern, and made it evident that thepainter, having developed his cho-sen pattern, used it over and overagain. The recurrence of the pat-tern is not visible to the observer•without the use of some such de-vice as the dissolving view elabor-ately demonstrated in the film.

This film was in black and white.It would have been wonderful tosee the color of the Matisse paint-ings but in the present stage of im-perfection of color photography, itwas better to be without the inevi-table distortion of colour that wouldhave been unavoidable.

Mrs. William Barnett, who wasresponsible for showing the films,showed one of her own films, thistime in colour, taken in St. Malolast summer. Mrs, Barnett is abrilliant photographer, but her very

MRS. PELZER'S ARTAT THE WOMAN'S CLUB

Mrs. Louis Pelzer of Iowa City,Iowa, is one of Winter Park's dis-tinguished winter visitors. She hasrecently been making watercolorstudies of some of the beautifulflowers and trees which grow here.Her work is free in style and mostcolorful. In parenthesis we maynote that this freedom in painting isindicative of her generous and gra-cious personality.

Mildred Pelzer has always beena crusader for art. She has helpedmany young and struggling artiststo recognition. In fact, it was shewho arranged and sponsored thefirst exhibition of the work ofGrant Wood, Iowa's now famousartist whose work is known bothhere and abroad.

The Iowa State Federation ofWoman's Clubs was fortunate inhaving Mrs. Pelzer as state chair-man of art, and during this chair-manship she traveled all over thestate of Iowa helping clubs to de-velop programs which would aidin the growth of taste and dis-crimination among the club mem-bers. Her demonstration programproved one of the most popularprograms throughout the MiddleWest.

Other forms of art expressionhave interested her as well. Alarge mural painting in the post-

office of Waverly, Iowa, bears thesignature of Mildred Pelzer, as domurals in many other places in-cluding hotels and private homes.At present a collection of fiftypaintings of wild flowers called"Flowers of 'the Prairie" is touringthe state of Iowa.

Mrs. Pelzer's versatility is ex-ceptional, for one of the most pop-ular of her avenues of art expres-sion has been a series of decorativemaps. Some of these maps wereprinted on silk for kerchiefs andscarves.

At present she is working in amedium which is not common inlandscape and flower painting,"guache," or opaque watercolors.Some of these new landscapes havejust been hung in the Winter ParkWoman's Clubhouse with other ex-amples of her work. Winter Parkresidents will be especially inter-ested in the large paintings of Mrs.George Kraft's home and of theazalea gardens which were Mrs.Kraft's gift to the city. Other pic-tures are interpretations of moss-hung oak and cypress trees in theimmediate vicinity. Mrs. Pelzerhopes to establish a studio herenext year. ,.i.

COMMUNITY FUND DEMONSTRATES LOCALLYTHE DEMOCRATIC WAY OF LIFE

this startling figure—they allow anaverage of $12.05 per individual fora whole month, and that has to cov-er all necessities of life! And thisclose figuring is done in an era ofsoaring prices. The Welfare Asso-ciation gets $900 from the city ofWinter Park. That is.the only in-come other than from the Com-munity Fund.

People ask, "Why a paid work-er?" The volunteers who do wel-fare work in addition to their ownhome commitments are overtaxedas it is. Welfare work in WinterPark is growing, and the trainedworker not only carries the loadof investigating cases, but is anassurance that the organization isrun on the best professional basis.Winter Park Welfare Associationalways welcomes more volunteers.If you don't volunteer, send yourmoney to represent you—and,please, don't send a boy to do aman's work!

The Winter Park Health Centeris one agency the need for whichnobody has ever questioned. It isto our own selfish interest to keepthe Health Center at the greatestpeak of efficiency and to spare notin maintaining it. In its clinics toprevent the spread of diseases, itis the watch dog of the coinmunity'shealth. In addition, it maintainsthree clinics offering prenatal care,pre-school and well baby immuni-zation for diphtheria, typhoid, smallpox and whooping cough, givesweight checks and dietary advice.It gives blood tests for venerealcUs?ases and maltss case findingsfor T.B. The Health Center receiveshelp from Federal, state and coun-ty sources. The rest is up to us.

The Boy Scouts have one troopsponsored by the Kiwanis and aft-other forming at the Congregationalchurch. There are five dens of cubscon's, At present; the Sea Scouts,for elder boys, are not functioning,but the Scout leaders are workingto get them started within a fewweeks. The Winter Park Scoutsattend (he summer camp main-tained by the Central Florida ScoutCouncil, There are as many as 150to 200 boys in Winter Park whoshould be in scouting, You willnotice on (he chart that the Com-munity Fund Drive Is publicizingthat cut of a ten dollar bill the BoyScouts would get seventy-four cents.In fact, notice just how much eachone of the e!ght agencies would getcut of a ten dollar bill divided pro-portionately.

The Girl Scouts are growing too.

Old-fashioned mothers used tosend their children off to their firstparties with this wise admonition:"What you get out of the party willbe just about as much as what youput into it." Most of the childrenfound that the same held good in-all departments of life. It is espe-cially true of "the Winter Parkparty", that happy, wholesome, fa-mily-like affair that so many travelmiles every winter to enjoy. Give—to keep Winter Park as it is nowand to make it even better, andyou put down roots in Winter Park,the town begins to mean more toyou. Tomorrow is supposed to bethe closing day of the CommunityFund Drive, but the Winter ParkCommunity Fund, Inc., is alwaysglad to receive donations at anytime. If you don't get in with therest of the crowd, don't fail tocome in. It is- a pleasure to giveto such organizations as make upWinter Park's community fund, andit is a particular pleasure to givein support of such a welfare asso-ciation as Winter Park has.

People who haven't studied thesituation closely often say, "Whydo any people have to be helpednow, with all the big wages?"Right here in Winter Park are anumber of groups that are barredfrom the much talked of plethoraof big wages and easy money. Who?It may be a mother of small chil-dren whose husband has desertedher, or someone whose earningsjust barely gave support who hasbeen disabled in an accident ortaken sick. It may be someone whois not strong enough physically, orworse still, not .strong enough men-tally, to hold a good job. Perhapsthe most pathetic of all is the manor woman who is not nearly so" oldstatistically a^ he is physically—and spiritually. These last arepeople who have overworked alltheir lives so that when they are,say fifty or sixty, they are burnedout, sickly and weak. Not oldenough yet for the old-age pensionfor which nobody under sixty-fiveis eligible, but so worn out theycan do little, The local welfare so-ciety has to fill in this gap untilthe old-age pension is granted.

But the whole picture of welfarework is constantly changing, forWinter Park has no permanent pub-lic charges. There are many emer-gencies that Ihe Welfare has to filltemporarily to tide people over.The money ir-ied by the Welfare isapportioned closely and made to gofar—how far you will realize from

Winter Park has one troop of GirlScouts and hopes by next winterto have two more. The first seniortroop Winter Park ever had will beformed next year. Besides increas-ing the number of troops in WinterPark, the leaders are making plansto extend scouting into the distantareas around Winter Park wheregirls cannot get in to meetings.Last year the day camp which wasrun all summer was so popular thatit must be greatly enlarged to meetthe demands to be made upon itnext summer. All this requiressolid backing.

The goal is $15,861.74. The amountin hand when this issue went topress was $7,227.08. The great ar-gument that all enemies of democ-racy and a society based upon freeenterprise cSer is the contrast be-tween wealth and squalid miserythat exists in the democracies. Theanswer to this is free enterprise ingiving. "Social obligations" in thewider sense of the phrase are thesalt to preserve democracy. Inthese ten days of the Winter ParkCommunity Fund Drive we havedemocracy in action, and you areinvited, no, you are urged, to takea responsible and adequate part inthis demonstration of the demo-cratic way of life. Give now, leaveyour contribution at the snack baror the bank, or mail it to Mrs.Cnarles MacDowell, Treasurer.And, if you get to thinking it overafter your check has gone in, andthink you didn't give as much asyou might have or should have,don't hesitate to send it along.

In the Sonatas by Debussy andBrahms both audience and playerswere on more familiar ground andthe musicianly performance ac-corded these outstanding workscalled for and received enthusias-tic applause.

THE CARLO RECITALAlphonse and Katherine Carlo

gave the large audience of their en-thusiastic admirers at the FacultyRecital last week a program of vio-lin and piano music that was farfrom routine either in the subjectmatter or its performance. Open-ing with the old favorite, Handel'sSonata No. IV in D Major, Mr.Carlo gave a well-poised reading,his tone in the Larghetto notablefor its singing quality. Mrs, Carlopreserved the classic dignity of theensemble with admirable judgment,

Bursting upon the scene withoutwarning of program notes or pre-vious publicity, the Sonata of Cop-land, written in 1943, was a diffi-cult test for old fashioned musiclovers who resist new idioms andfeel imposed upon when they firsthear them, It was ever thus. Puc-cini's "consecutive fifths" in theintroduction to the second act of"La Boheme" were a terrible shockto the old-timers but now they aretaking even more rugged incursionsupon the traditions.

CONFERENCE HELPFUL IN INDUSTRIAL PROBLEMSMany timely and thought provok-

ing problems have been discussedin the twelve annual sessions of theRollins Economic Conference. Allof these have been stimulating andhave helped to mold opinion and insome instances have perhaps hadmuch to do with the shaping of cer-tain affairs.

A few of the past conferenceshave been exciting and have pro.yoked much discussion, as for in-stance the one on the Florida ShipCanal and the one on Labor In theCitrus Industry. None, however,have exceeded this last in the seri-ous, yet animated discussion thatcentered around the World OrderProblems, culminating in the paneldiscussion on Friday morning, Jan-uary 31st, on the subject "How CanWe Live in the World with Russiaand Other Countries with DifferentIdeologies?"

The discussions that were arousedby the stories on "Industrial Rela-t'ons Can Be Good", told by theExecutives and Labor Representa-tives, certainly proved timely andunique. This part of the Confer-ence culminated on Saturday morn-ing' in a debate by students uponthe subject "Resolved: That laborshould have a direct part in themanagement of industry".

This debate was followed by a re-port by the representative of labor,C.I.O, of New England on the sub-ject of how organized labor andmanagement were successfully andto the mutual advantage of both,working out their problems without

any interruption of production. Al-so another report by an executiveon how they had been able througha carefully worked out profit shar-ing, to increase their profits, thusincreasing the "take-home" pay ofthe worker as well as larger profitsfor the stock-holder and rewardsfor management.

This last session when questionswere asked from the floor, foundthe employer on the platform, de-fending Labor and challengingthose who would criticize labor'sindifference toward its work andits spend-thrift attitude. This as-tonished many people and there arestill reverberations on the campusand about town, many saying thatthey had not thought such possible.

Orders are being received bymail now daily for the proceedings.One magazine has asked to publishthe speeches on Industrial Rela-tions and one business advisoryfirm, has asked for an immediatecopy of the proceedings to use inits counseling services to business.

INDIA'S HUNGER PROBLEM CAN BE SOLVEDAt the open meeting of the Uni-

versity Club in the CongregationalChristian Church Saturday evening,Feb. 8, the speak-sr was Dr. SaraHigginbotham, who discussed thesubject "India's Soluble Hunger,"There could not be found one whohas a better right to speak aboutIndia than this famous missionarywho returned to the United Statesa few months ago after living andworking in India, for forty-oneyears. His missionary service in-cluded the direction, renovationand transformation of a leper hos-pltal, carried on with the assist-ance of h:s wife, Ethlind Cody Hig-ginbolham. But his most strikingcontrbution was the introduction ofmodern farming methods and tools,showing by irrefutable demonstra-tions in improved crops, cattle andland that it was possible to increaseIndia's food supply enough to ban-

ish the chronic hunger from which50,000,000 of India's population suf-fered.

Dr. Higginbotham gave a briefaccount of his first reaction to In-dia's poverty, disease and fatal-ism. A part of this reaction wasthe acquisition of a B.Sc. degree inagriculture after two years of studyat Ohio State University. He thenreturned to India and tackled adifficult job, which he did so wellthat there is now a permanentmonument to his labors in the formof the Allahabad Agricultural Insti-tute, a part of Allahabad ChristianCollege. Dr. Higginbotham foundedthe one and became president ofthe other. This institute has a well-trained staff of specialists and hassent to various parts of India manygraduates who spread the knowl-edge of better farming methods intheir vicinity. But the work wasnot accomplished easily. Dr. Hig-ginbotham had to overcome at firstindifference, if not hostility, on thepart of mission authorities and theBritish government. They finallyyielded to his arguments and zeal,with the proviso that he must re-turn to America for study andraise all the money for his enter-prise. He did both, and has . livedto see his creation become a flour-ishing school, a center of hope forIndia.

In clear, incisive terms, Dr. Hig-ginbotham pointed out why it wasso difficult to meet India's needfor food. The chief obstacle is theHindu belief in the transmigrationof souls, which belief makes it sac-rilegious to kill any living thing.Other obstacles are caste, with itsrigid restrictions on initiative andemployment, and the, to an Occi-dental mind, incredible cow-wor-ship. The hold which these super-stitions have is shown by the factthat as enlightened a Hindu as Mo.

handas Gandhi still adheres tothem and has written a book toshow their value to India. So ani-mal pests destroy a large part ofwhat is needed .for human food,scientific breeding and handling ofcattle become impossible, and theland is deprived of indispensablefertilizer. Also the heavy rains ofthe monsoon season cause immenseloss of fertile soil by erosion. Thiscan readily be prevented.

Dr. Higginbotham sees in the ap-plication of scientific agricultureto the fertile land which exists inIndia and responds with fine cropsto the proper treatment of the soil,the solution of an age-old problem,and the basis for a higher level ofcivilization.
