AT RANDOM —By VIRGINIA—

For your information (and to our amazement) we would like to submit a report on the new-fangled lone seats in theatres. The Coral Theatre was the point of observation. Now we know we are no longer as slender as a sylph and we know how close two people can sit together (especially in movies when we are behind them) but it would take two mighty small people, sitting mighty close, to fit these love seats. They are about three-fourths the width of Mae West's lap. For old unromantic persons such as ourselves, however, they make right comfortable sitting, alone. This right may entail a double admission price, for all we know, so don't take our word for it. | Miami Beach may have its night club eateries, Miami may have its many places to dine, plain and fancy, but we bet it would take both of them, trying all their tricks, to better the food one can find in the various Coral Gables restaurants. Devoted to just good, filling and deliciously prepared food, the Gables has about all even dozen of fine restaurants, suited to most purses (which is more than we can say for the Beach inns.) The Green Candle, the Gable, and the Seville dining room are just a few of those in the Gables whose prices and food can't be topped. | Once upon a time there were two brothers up in New York, who were ice cream manufacturers. There came a day when they grew tired of the icy winds, so both came to Coral Gables. Now one, Fred Fauerbach, is part-owner of the Biltmore dairies, and Frank, his brother, has bought the Colony, on Giralda avenue. The Colony is one of the cleanest, brightest spots in the Gables for an after-theatre snack, or at any time. Mr. Fauerbach plans to specialize in French ice cream, which is sort of a custard type, as you know. | Quiz-crazy America can go to work again, and for cash. Tutan Motors has an announcement in this issue of the Riviera, regarding a $500 contest. Read it and win! At least read it and try. | James D. Davis, owner of the Coral Gables Inn, tells us that the tourist business, so far as his inn is concerned, is better than ever in the Gables. That's the sort of thing we like to hear. And we have been hearing a good bit of it lately. | Daniels has a sale on its lovely housecoats now that you shouldn't miss. The prices are more reasonable, and the coats are ideal for wear now or later. There are corduroys, flannels and the finer more feminine materials. In fact, there are a few that will make grand hostess gowns for informal entertaining in one's home. | Frances Beauty Salon has done so much remodeling this year, we hardly recognized the place when we went in the other day. This salon is one of the most restful appearing in town, and you're always sure of having a good operator. | If you are just a little bit tired of the decorations in your home, take a look at the College Cupboard's beautiful line of pottery, glass, leather nick-nacks and wooden items. There is always an exhibit of a local artist (the Blue Dome Fellowship) on at the Cupboard, and, whether you buy or not, you are welcome to look around. It will give you a lift to spend just a few minutes in there. | We are shopping in the home town, as you may have noticed. There is no particular need to go to Miami to shop for almost anything you may want in your home or your wardrobe. For example, the Bootery on Coral Way has one of the nationally known makes of women's and children's shoes (Roblee and Air Step). This store just received a large shipment of new styles, too. | The Coral Way Restaurant is a new establishment at 2820 Coral Way, just a few blocks from the Gables. Mrs. Howell is the genial hostess who promises good food at moderate prices. | Dianne's on Coral Way seems busier each time we are in that shop. And no wonder! For nice lingerie, accessories and gifts, there is no better shop around. Ruth Smith, the youthful and friendly manager of the store, gift-wraps your purchases beautifully.

A Year of Accomplishments

Rural sections also shared liberally in this program. | The gross expenditures for new construction and replacements exceeded $40,000,000. | It was a year of outstanding accomplishments achieved under exceptional conditions.
