Fifteen's Director Now An Actor In New Play, "Argosy at Forty"

The opening of "Argosy at Forty", a new comedy by De Witt Bodeen, on Tuesday evening, January 21st, will hold special interest for devotees of the Fifteen. It will mark the first stage appearance in Greater Miami of Hale McKeen, director of the company. McKeen came to Coral Gables last year with a long and varied career behind him. After he had graduated from Yale, he did post-graduate work with George Pierce Baker in the famed '47' Workshop. Soon after he had served his apprenticeship in the theater, he was playing leading roles at the Goodman Theater in Chicago. However, his deepest interest lay in directing, and, excpt for occasional appearances behind the footlights, he has concentrated on that ever since. His career as director has taken him to such varied places as Le Petit Theatre de Vieux Carre in New Orleans, to the Civic Theater in Indianapolis and to RKO studios in Hollywood. While carrying out these directorial assignments, McKeen was thinking about a company of his own. It was not until he had spent four seasons as staff director at the Pasadena Playhouse, State theater of California, that his ambition was realized. In 1939 he found enough Playhouse people who measured up to his standards and requirements to form a group. In spite of the pleasure derived from directing well-written plays by recognized authors, McKeen says that new plays are the most interesting to do. "Argosy at Forty" cannot but romantic as well, because it has already been successfully produced at the Pasadena Playhouse. It was here that McKeen first played the part that he will do with his own company. "Argosy at Forty" is the comedy of a man who tries to recapture his youth at the two-score mark by launching a new career. Jason Leigh has always had a penchant for writing plays and, to the dismay and mission from his wife to spend a year in New York. When he meets Luther Hilton, an established playwright, and Luther's wife, Fay, Jason's ensuing adventures are not only romantic strictly be called a new play. Richard C. Sullivan is cast as Jason and Mary Greene as his understanding wife. Barbara Parmlee will play Fay Hilton the leading feminine role, and Hale McKeen will be her husband, Luther. Willard Thompson and Louise Long complete the cast. McKeen is directing the new production, as usual, and Edward Sheffield is designing the sets. "Argosy at Forty" will run at the Theater of the Fifteen, Douglas Entrance, through Saturday, January 25th.

saw in the Burroughs organization an opportunity too promising to be overlooked. The company deals in coal, lumber and masonry supplies, and is said to be well established in Flint's commercial life. The post of vice-president and cashier will be filled on Whyel's departure by J. R. Hayes, Jr., who comes here, like Whyel, from the Miami First National Bank. James, who is a resident of Miami, plans on moving to Coral Gables in the near future.

tions and investigations, but it will take some time to get the ordinance into full enforcement. The domestics already employed, who already have their identification cards, will be given a certain length of time, probably 30 days, to have the health examinations and secure their health cards." The city health department will conduct the examinations, which will include blood tests. A fee of 50 cents will be charged, and the examinations will be conducted once every six months. "We must wipe out this disease among domestics," Curry said. "There is no reason why the public food handlers should be forced to have health cards, and the domestics should not, when the latter are far more likely to have disease." Coral Gables, in taking this step, may set an example to the state. It was understood that the Dade County Federation of Women's Clubs plans to petition the spring session of the state legislature for a state-wide law providing health cards for domestics.

"All these are public streets. People shouldn't have to pay for parking on the city streets." Celia Smith, Coral Gables dress shop: "The new parking lines have helped a lot, I don't think we need meters, though. They'd look too commercial, like a money-grabbing effort." William Sands, Gables Restaurant: "I see no reason why we should have parking meters. People shouldn't have to pay to patronize us." L. Chaves, Thrift five-and-ten store: "I'm against it. We shouldn't have any meters." C. O. Warth, Warth paint co: "Absolutely not. This is not a big city." W. M. Ware, Natural Gas co: "I'm strongly opposed. The city can check parking, and the merchants should stop their own bad parking habits." J. A. Garrett, Thiel motors: "We have no complaint about parking now. The police have been watching parking more carefully anyway." Cary Hanson, Daniels dress shop: "I think it's a terrible idea." Nelle Jamison, Jamison children's shop: "Meters would keep people away from our shopping center. I don't think they'd hurt us." R. V. Seymour, Alcazar Drugs: "We have enough space for parking now, I'd like to see us use a system like Hollywood's, with parking in the middle of the wider streets." Marj Perry, Economy Laundry: "Meters would certainly help us with the problem of people who park all day in front of the shop." Naomi Scribner, Yrene's dress shop: "If they will cut out overtime parking, I'm for the meters." C. J. Strickland, Esso station: "I think one-cent meters are silly. If you have to have them, I'd rather see nickel meters—but I'd prefer no meters at all." Rees Marshall, Coral Gables insurance: "I don't think much of the idea, but if we're going to have meters, let's have nickel ones." Mrs. H. R. Wed'meyer, florist: "People leave their cars too long on Ponce de Leon. Parking meters might help out." Morton Engels, Engels men's shop: "It's a bad idea. Meters will drive business away." Charles Souther, Fred's barber shop: "Meters work a hardship on the public. It's a bad thing to start." Ted Bishop, Weinkle's liquor store: "Ponce is never so crowded that you can't find parking space. Police should watch the parking limit more closely." Ira Malcolm, Standard filling station: "If overparking is really hurting the other merchants, put in the meters." H. H. Crowell, Gables market: "I believe meters would be bad for business." J. A. Webb, Lovett's grocery: "Several of my customers have told me that they'd stop trading here if we put in meters. They come to us because they can park free and more easily." Mary Dio, Elite beauty salon: "Meters are a nuisance for a place where people must stay over one hour to do business." Mrs. Chester Vance, Keyes realty: "I think our town is too small for parking meters." Nellie Manero, Arrow Cleaners: "I think meters would be all right, but I'm not certain the change would be worth the extra money." Betty Letaw, Letaw's Pharmacy: "Not in front of the drug store. We have curb service." the side streets, too." Eddie Nauman, Hupp's soda: "We don't want to see people have to pay to park for curb service." A. B. Mack, Mack's filling station: "Parking meters are all right with me." L. F. Printz, Tilton Pharmacy: "No meters on Ponce de Leon for me." Francis Cold, Coral Gables Grocery: "We don't want any meters on the streets here." Arthur Rath, Rath's market:
